The European Union can afford greater ambition in the conservation of its threatened plants
2021
The importance of Natura 2000 network for the conservation of natural habitats, wild flora and fauna at European level is undeniable. However, it may not have reached its full potential since the loss of biodiversity continues to increase year on year. Further on, a third of the plant species listed in the Habitats Directive to guide the declaration of European Union Natura 2000 network of protected areas is not threatened and there is broad agreement on the need to review and update the species list. Here, the effectiveness of Natura 2000 in the conservation of Spanish bryophytes and vascular plants included in the Habitats Directive Annex II is analysed and compared with the one offered t…
Hotspots of species richness, threat and endemism for terrestrial vertebrates in SW Europe
2011
The Mediterranean basin, and the Iberian Peninsula in particular, represent an outstanding “hotspot” of biological diversity with a long history of integration between natural ecosystems and human activities. Using deductive distribution models, and considering both Spain and Portugal, we downscaled traditional range maps for terrestrial vertebrates (amphibians, breeding birds, mammals and reptiles) to the finest possible resolution with the data at hand, and we identified hotspots based on three criteria: i) species richness; ii) vulnerability, and iii) endemism. We also provided a first evaluation of the conservation status of biodiversity hotspots based on these three criteria considerin…

Rezerwat przyrody Ciechocinek w Ciechocinku o powierzchni 1,88 ha, został założony w 1963 r. w celu ochrony śródlądowych zbiorowisk solniskowych. Od 2009 r. rezerwat zlokalizowany jest w granicach obszaru Natura 2000 Ciechocinek (PLH040019) o powierzchni 13,23 ha. Obecnie najwyższe zasolenie i występowanie fitocenoz zespołu mannicy odstającej i solirodu zielnego Puccinellio distantis-Salicornietum brachystachyae (Wilkoń-Michalska 1963) R. Tx. 1974 zostało stwierdzone w obrębie płytkiego rowu odprowadzającego słone wody burzowe spod tężni solankowych, tężni nr 2 i 3. W latach 2015–2017 r. zbiorowiska solniskowe obejmowały niewielką część rezerwatu i obszaru Natura 2000, o powierzchni około 2…

Analisi dei cambiamenti dell’uso del suolo nei siti Natura 2000 “Bosco S. Adriano” e “Vendicari”
2008
Population and the economic activities increases, are the main and most important causes of the impoverishment of land and marine ecosystems of the planet. Within this context, the land use and vegetation cover data, and those on the transition between the different land use categories, are among the most required information necessary for the individuation of the sustainable management strategies of environmental and landscape resources. The same information is also necessary to control the efficacy of the environmental politics and the environmental integration instances of specific field politics (agriculture, industry, tourism, ect). In fact, one of the main themes is landscape transfor…
Trasformazioni del paesaggio e conservazione degli habitat nella zona umida di Vendicari (Sicilia)
2009
Il sito Natura 2000 “Vendicari” (ITA090002) si colloca in un più ampio sistema di zone umide costiere della Sicilia Sud-orientale. La particolarità di questi ambienti è legata alla presenza di lagune costiere e di formazioni vegetali che generalmente si trovano a contatto con esse. Questi ambienti costituiscono l’habitat per diverse specie, nonché esclusivi punti di sosta per molti uccelli migratori. Queste aree, un tempo più estese in Sicilia, durante il secolo scorso sono state sottoposte a disturbi e trasformazioni ambientali e paesaggistiche con conseguente riduzione della biodiversità. Le cause che hanno determinato maggiormente tali trasformazioni sono legate allo sfruttamento agricol…
