16 hours ago · Islands are of great conservation concern. Islands cover just 5.3% of the world’s land area, but contribute disproportionately to global biodiversity.
Apr 15, 2015 · We pooled these habitats into four groups: drift line (habitat 1210), fore dune (habitat 2110 and 2120), dune grasslands (habitat 2230) and fixed dune (habitat 2250 and 2260) (Table 1). Sampling size varied according to the habitat type (2–100 m 2), but was the same within each habitat.

1 day ago · Our analyses of 304,103 plant species reveal that 94,052 species (31%) are native to islands, which constitute 5.3% of the global landmass 4. Of these, 63,280 are island endemic species, which ...
The Central Adriatic is especially abundant in endemic plant species, with 535 identified species of green, brown and red algae. Four out of five Mediterranean seagrass species are found in the Adriatic Sea. The most common species are Cymodocea nodosa and Zostera noltii, while Zostera marina and Posidonia oceanica are comparatively rare.
All surveys reach a similar conclusion: the circum-Mediterranean region is one of the world’s major centres for plant differentiation, located at the crossroads between Europe, Asia and Africa,...
Nov 1, 2008 · The proportion of endemics in the total island flora varies from 0% up to 28.6%, and 17.5% for narrow endemics. Floristic richness of the broader region was estimated (on the basis of SAR ...
