The Falkland Islands are situated in the South Atlantic and have a native flora of 171 vascular plant species. Although a relatively high proportion of the native flora is of conservation concern, this is poorly recognized, both nationally and internationally. Typically, threatened species occur as only a few small, isolated populations, and they are facing increasing pressure from land-use change, particularly agricultural intensification. This paper presents the first national Red Data List for the Falkland Islands, and provides an overview of the 23 threatened plants of the archipelago as well as covering another 16 species of relevance to the national conservation strategy. This Red List provides an important first step towards the recognition and conservation of the threatened native flora of the Falkland Islands at both the national and international level.

This paper provides a quantitative and general description of the main representatives of the genus Asperula L. present in the ‘Alexandru Beldie’ Herbarium. Currently, Asperula genus comprises 25 different taxa (18 with a status of species and 7 as intraspecific units), harvested mainly from the Romanian forests. The majority of plants are kept in very good conservation conditions (first and second conservation degrees). Two of the species (Asperula rumelica Boiss and A. graveolens subsp. graveolens) present in the Herbarium should be given high conservation priority since they are of national conservation concern, being included on the ‘Red List of Superior Plants from Romania’. The Asperula genus is widespread across the country and is mostly associated with mesobasic and eubasic forest soils, representatives of this genus having the value of indicator species.

Il Parco Regionale della Maremma è una area protetta di 8902 ha nel settore costiero centrale della provincia di Grosseto, Toscana meridionale. Gli habitat che rappresentano l’area protetta possono essere così brevemente descritti: foce del fiume Ombrone e zone umide della Palude della Trappola; Monti dell’Uccellina (cima più elevata: Poggio Lecci, 417 m s.l.m.); un ampio comprensorio interno e pianeggiante dove coesistono attività zootecniche e coltivazioni agricole. Lo sviluppo costiero raggiunge i 25 km circa. Sono presenti 6 Siti della Rete Natura 2000 classificati come ZSC − Zona Speciale di Conservazione − secondo la Direttiva “Habitat” 92/43/ CE e/o come ZPS − Zona di Protezione Speciale − secondo la Direttiva “Uccelli” 2009/147/CE. La maggior parte dell’area presenta una scarsa rete viaria e limitati insediamenti umani con copertura boschiva in larga parte dovuta a formazioni vegetali sclerofilliche mediterranee. In questo lavoro viene presentato un elenco commentato degli uccelli noti per l’area protetta a partire dalla sua istituzione avvenuta il 05/06/1975 sino al 31/12/2018. In totale, le specie di Uccelli rilevate sono 295 (62,1% delle specie della Toscana ed il 52,5% delle specie note in Italia), mentre le specie nidificanti certe o probabili in tempi recenti (2008-2018) sono 84. Le specie di interesse comunitario presenti nell’Allegato I della Direttiva “Uccelli” 2009/147/CE sono 88, mentre quelle classificate come SPEC 1-3 “Species of European Conservation Concern” sono 33. L’area, con le zone umide “Bocca d’Ombrone” e “La Trappola” comprese nella Macrozona “Maremma Grossetana”, ricade all’interno della qualifica di sito di importanza internazionale per lo svernamento di Anser anser e Mareca penelope; inoltre è sito di importanza nazionale per Mareca strepera, Anas crecca, Anas acuta, Spatula clypeata, Ardea alba, Platalea leucorodia, Phoenicopterus roseus, Recurvirostra avosetta, Pluvialis apricaria, Calidris alpina, Vanellus vanellus, Gallinago gallinago, Numenius arquata, Tringa erythropus e Tringa totanus. L’area protetta è di importanza per specie nidificanti in Direttiva 2009/147/CE legate agli specchi lacustri costieri e agli spazi marini, ad incolti, pascoli, così come a zone con vegetazione arborea e arbustiva sparsa su affioramenti rocciosi, margini di boschi, ambienti parzialmente allagati ed ai litorali sabbiosi, quali ad esempio, con dati minimi, Pandion haliaetus (1 coppia), Burhinus oedicnemus (7-8 coppie), Charadrius alexandrinus (1 coppia), Caprimulgus europaeus (25 coppie), Coracias garrulus (13-15 coppie), Lanius collurio (1-5 coppie), Lullula arborea (10 coppie) e Anthus campestris (6-7 coppie). Dal 2015 si segnala il consolidamento della nidificazione di Ardea cinerea, rilevandone per la prima volta la riproduzione come garzaia.

The current state of the flora of the botanical preserve “Honcharivskyi” (Svatove District, Luhansk Region) is analysed. The preserve includes three areas on the right-bank slopes of the Kobylka and the Krasna rivers with outcrops of chalk bedrocks. The study was conducted in summer and autumn 2019. Four expeditionary trips were organized to the areas near the villages of Oborotnivka and Nauholne. Floristic descriptions made by the line-transect method saved as research material. Identification of floristic composition was carried out by the plant species inventory along the transects. As a result, an annotated list of 85 species of vascular plants of 74 genera, 29 families, 3 classes and 2 divisions was compiled. In terms of systematic composition, the spectrum of main families is headed by Asteraceae (22 species, 25.9 % of the flora), Poaceae (9 species, 10.6 %), and Lamiaceae 7 (species, 8.2 %). These families include a significant number of ruderal, steppe and calcephilous species. Hemicryptophytes, represented by herbaceous plants of steppe meadows, prevail in the flora biomorphic structure (51 species, 60 %). Chamaephytes (in our case study the subshrubs, growing on steppe slopes, chalk and limestone outcrops, viz., Genista tinctoria L., Hyssopus cretaceus Dubjan., Teucrium polium L. etc.) are least presented (6 species, 7.1 %). A cenomorph analysis revealed predominance of the ruderal species (35; 41.2 %) due to grazing, trampling and economic activity in the study area. The flora ecological analysis was based on five main factors, which reflect climate and soil properties. In terms of soil acidity, the neutrophilic species formed a dominating group (53 species, 63 %), in terms of carbonate compounds – the acarbonatophilic (34 species, 40 %), in terms of soil salinity – the eutrophytic (36 species, 43 %), in terms of climate thermal regime – the sub-mesothermic (59 species, 70 %), and in terms of climate continentality – the hemicontinental ones (43 species, 52 %). Most recorded species prefer slightly acidic and/or neutral, rich in salts and carbonates, meadow like and common chernozems of steppe meadows and steppes. Twelve species of 11 genera and 7 families are of conservation concern. Of these, 10 species are listed in Red Data Book of Ukraine, five species are in the European Red List of Vascular Plants (Hyssopus cretaceus Dubjan., Artemisia hololeuca M. Bieb. ex Besser, Centaurea donetzica Klok., Cephalaria litvinivii Bobr., Hedysarum cretaceum Fisch.), and two species are in the Red List of plants of Lugansk Region (Thymus calcareus Klokov & Des.-Shost. and Potentilla erecta (L.) Raeusch.).

Bryophytes, including mosses, liverworts and hornworts, are terrestrial plants, with a particular life cycle where the gametophyte is dominant over the sporophyte; many species are pokilohydric, meaning that they achieve a quick equilibrium between the cell water content and that of the environment, suspending their life, but not dying, in the absence of water. Due to their light spores, these plants have a great dispersal ability and may be found from the poles to the equator. In the Azores, there are almost 500 species (Gabriel et al. 2010), colonizing a large number of habitats and substrata, but forming particularly luxuriant communities inside native forests. Nevertheless, these forests are presently restricted to medium-high elevations (above 500 m) and below this altitude, adequate habitats for many bryophyte species are scarce (Henriques et al. 2016). Cave entrances, at different elevations, serve as surrogate habitats for bryophyte species, since they present an adequate relative humidity, fewer competitor species and are usually not disturbed by chemical products such as herbicides or pesticides. The aims of this work are twofold: present the results of the first IUCN red-list assessment of the conservation status of Azorean conservation concern bryophytes; and present an overview of the major threats involving the conservation of those species. present the results of the first IUCN red-list assessment of the conservation status of Azorean conservation concern bryophytes; and present an overview of the major threats involving the conservation of those species. The assessments of extinction risk were based on the most updated categories and criteria. Seven liverworts (Calypogeia azorica, Cheilolejeunea cedercreutzii, Fuscocephaloziopsis crassifolia, Leptoscyphus porphyrius subsp. azoricus, Lophocolea fragrans Plagiochila longispina and Radula holtii,) and seven mosses (Andoa berthelotiana, Echinodium renauldii, Heterocladium flaccidum, Hookeria lucens, Microcampylopus laevigatus, Rhynchostegiella trichophylla and Thamnobryum rudolphianum) benefit from populations at cave entrances, mostly the Azorean and Macaronesian endemic species. The three most common threats harming “cave” bryophytes include: climate change &amp; severe weather, habitat change and degradation and invasive plant species of native forest. These threats are also documented in the literature (e.g. Patiño et al. 2016; Ferreira et al. 2016; Triantis et al. 2010 and Silva et al. 2008). Cave habitats are thus an important part of bryophyte conservation in the Azores, and should be both legally protected and monitored to the mutual benefit of species and habitat conservation.
