1.2 Geographical Distribution

Seabuckthorn grows in diverse areas of harsh environmental conditions, ranging from seacoasts and riverbeds, to cold deserts. It is found growing naturally at higher altitudes of temperate zones of Asia and Europe (Rousi, 1971). It is a temperate plant of the Eurasian continent with wide spread distribution across 38 countries, namely Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bhutan, Britain, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, India, Iran, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, Nepal, Netherlands, Hungary, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan (Rajchal, 2009).

Distribution of seabuckthorn taxa across Europe and Asia is shown in Fig. 1. Attitudinally, it ranges from seashore of the Baltic Sea in Europe to the regions of Mount Everest in Asia, up to an altitude of approximately 7000 m, suggesting high adaptability of the plant to various ecological conditions. Geographically, it is distributed between 27°–69°N latitude and 7°W–122°E longitude (Rousi, 1971).
