description

Succulent plants are relatively scarce in the Mediterranean Region, and dominant in a few areas. Most species belong to genera of Crassulaceae widespread in the boreal Regions. The main threat for succulents in the area is habitat modification and destruction. Industrial and touristic development, grazing, dams and mining activities are relevant factors of risk, as well as fires and invasive species.
