The biogeoraphic importance of Central European snadstone regions does not consist in high species richness but in very specific composition. This is obvious in two frameworks: (a) sandstone areas in a briader biogeographic context and (b) vegetation pattern and ecological conditions within a sandstone area. Some Atlantic species find here the eastermost limit od distribution, while several montane or even Alpine species have in the deep rock gorges, particularly in the Elbe Sandstones, their lower vertical limit of distribution, at least within continental Europe.
