Abstract Aim Vegetation types of Mediterranean thermophilous pine forests dominated by Pinus brutia , halepensis pinaster and pinea were studied in various areas. However, a comprehensive formal vegetation classification these based on detailed data analysis has never been developed. Our aim is to provide the first broad‐scale large set plots. Location Southern Europe, North Africa, Levant, Anatolia, Crimea Caucasus. Methods We prepared European forest selected 7,277 plots cold‐sensitive...
Some studies suggest that behavioral variation among animals destined for reintroduction programs could influence their post-release survival and overall success. Therefore, we aimed to test whether individual differences in white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari - WLPs) exploratory dispersal behavior after reintroduction. Using a standard ethological approach, described the traits of 17 captive WLPs along three dimensions: aggressiveness, exploration, sociability. Then, using spatial...
The flora and vegetation of the archipelago Cabo Verde is dominated by Macaronesian, Mediterranean, particularly African tropical elements, resulting from its southernmost location, when compared to other islands Macaronesia (i.e., Azores, Madeira, Selvagens, Canary Islands). Very likely, such a geographical position entailed higher susceptibility extreme climatic fluctuations, namely those associated with West Monsoon oscillations. These fluctuations led continuous aridification, which...
An attempt to obtain a consistent spatial model of natural potential vegetation (NPV) for the mainland Portuguese territory is reported.Spatial modeling procedures performed in Geographic Information System (GIS) environment, aimed operationalize phytosociological expert-knowledge about putative distribution zona1 forest communities dominam continental territories.The paradigm NPV assumed was that RIVAS-MARTINEZ (1976) and et al. (1999), which presupposes, given territory, univocal...
Large thematic databases of vegetation plots are increasingly needed for studies and biodiversity research. In this paper, we present the CircumMed Pine Forest Database (GIVD ID: EU-00-026), which in November 2018, comprised records from 6317 pine-dominated (releves) associated types 20 countries Mediterranean Basin, Near East Crimea. These were collected through a detailed literature search not previously included European Vegetation Archive (EVA), order to fill geographic gaps data...
Abstract This study presents an updated sintaxonomic review of the annual communities from coastal dunes in Southwest coast Europe, specifically Iberian Peninsula, including both types: directly influenced by sea salt spray and not affected this influence. The floristic segregation different plant associations was obtained statistical agglomerative processes (UPGMA, Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean) plus principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) discussed based on interpretation...
Abstract Grasses are one of the most successful and dispersed plant families worldwide their environmental economic values widely acknowledged. They dominate landscape Cabo Verde, southernmost driest archipelago Macaronesia, relevant natural resources for local populations, but a comprehensive evaluation distribution patterns is still lacking. In this study, we aim to evaluate potential effects climate change using long‐term data concerning grass in Verde recognized climatic variability...
Abstract Forests dominated by Salix neotricha, and Populus alba found along the mesoeutrophic rivers in Iberian Peninsula, were studied. We discuss floristic circumscription, chorology, community segregation based on available relevés of all riparian communities included Populenion albae. Eleven formerly described analyzed due to original combination, habitat features, biogeographic scope, a new willow poplar forest type is proposed within well-defined biogeographical unit...
