  • E1.5B Iberian Oromediterranean Basiphilous Dry Grassland
    European Red List of Habitats - Grasslands Habitat Group E1.5b Iberian oromediterranean basiphilous dry grassland Summary This habitat comprises grasslands of base-rich soils over calcareous bedrocks on the slopes and crests of high mountains in the Iberian Peninsula and France. There, the growing season is short, with harsh winters when strong winds blow the ground free of snow and leave the surface subject to deep cold which encourages the development of freeze-thaw features. The cover of vegetation is intermediate to complete, dominated by prostrate or dwarf grasses and forbs, and includes many endemics. Extreme conditions generally prevent succession, and grazing, generally by sheep, is restricted to the brief summer and has little impact except where the habitat extends to somewhat lower levels. There seems to have been no loss of extent but there has been some decline in quality due to leisure infrastructure. The maintenance of low intensity sheep grazing is essential for the conservation of the habitat in the lower elevations, while in the highest elevations limitation of leisure activities is very important, as the habitat is very difficult to recover once it has been destroyed. Synthesis The habitat is assigned to the category Least Concern (LC), as it has not substantially decreased in quantity nor in quality over the last 50 years, and its distribution (AOO) and range (EOO) are quite large. Nevertheless, we have to take into account that inside this EOO, the habitat only occurs in wind-exposed slopes of the calcareous mountains and plateaus, with a current estimated total area of only 725 km2.

  • A Cow–Calf Farming System Fully Adapted to Elevation and Harsh Conditions in Andorra (Europe)
    animals Article A Cow–Calf Farming System Fully Adapted to Elevation and Harsh Conditions in Andorra (Europe) Ramon Armengol 1 , Marta Bassols 1 and Lorenzo Fraile 1,2,* 1 Department of Animal Science, ETSEA, University of Lleida, 25198 Lleida, Spain; [email protected] (R.A.); [email protected] (M.B.) 2 Agrotecnio Research Center, ETSEA, University of Lleida, 25198 Lleida, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-973-702-814 Simple Summary: Optimizing the use of natural resources in cattle production is a concern of the beef meat industry and consumers. Areas with scarce resources or adverse environmental conditions can efficiently take advantage of extensive systems with local breeds. These local breeds are adapted to the environment and can give optimal productive yields. The aim of this work is to explain the project of the Bruna d’Andorra, a local breed under an extensive cow–calf system in Andorra, as an example of local farming and marketing of its meat products. Andorra is a sovereign landlocked microstate in the eastern Pyrenees (Europe) that consists predominantly of rugged mountains and harsh weather conditions for livestock farming. This work describes the evolution of the Bruna d’Andorra population during the period of 2000–2020 focusing on the main meat productive and reproductive performance achievements. Finally, the plans for the future of the project are focused on optimizing a highly sustainable and environmentally friendly farming system. Abstract: The use of natural resources is an important topic to optimize the efficiency of cattle production. The purpose of this work is to describe the project of the Bruna d’Andorra; a local cow Citation: Armengol, R.; Bassols, M.; breed under an extensive cow–calf system in Andorra (Europe), as an example of local farming Fraile, L.

Once on the intercity express, we settled down to a comfortable journey, through the Swiss countryside, towards the Alps. We passed Lake Zurich and the Walensee, meeting the Rhine as it flows into Liectenstein, and then changed to the UNESCO World Heritage Albula railway at Chur. Dramatic scenery and many loops, tunnels and bridges followed, as we made our way through the Alps. After passing through the long Preda tunnel, we entered a sunny Engadine and made a third change, at Samedan, for the short ride to Pontresina. We transferred to the hotel by minibus and met the remaining two members of our group, before enjoying a lovely evening meal. After a brief talk about the plans for the week, we retired to bed. Day 2 Monday 9th July After a 20-minute walk from the hotel, we caught the 9.06am train at Surovas. We had a scenic introduction to the geography of the region, as we travelled south along the length of Val Bernina, crossing the watershed beside Lago Bianco and alighting at Alp Grum.

  • Floristic-Phytosociological Approach, Potential Natural Vegetation, and Survival of Prejudice

Floristic-phytosociological approach, potential natural vegetation, and survival of prejudice. Lazaroa 31: 173-182 (2010). Carrión & Fernandez (2009; further C&F) in a recent commentary on a paper published in Journal of Biogeography criticised an obvious mismatch between the predictions about the patterns of potential natural vegetation (PNV) made by phytosociologists, and those underpinned by pollen data. C&F used this stage to take a broad sway on phytosociology in general (stopping only very short of denying it status of science), blaming power of tradition and influence of personal cult for ignoring scientific evidence. In my response I show that C&F have misinterpreted the concept of PNV, rendering their comparisons irrelevant. C&F obviously overslept the progress descriptive vegetation science made in recent decades, relegating their heavy criticism of phytosociology into the realm of prejudice. Keywords: descriptive vegetation science, phytosociology, personality, potential natural vegetation, reconstructed natural vegetation, Spain, vegetation mapping Resumen: Mucina, L. 2010. Supervivencia de prejuicios en el concepto de vegetación potencial natural, y en las aproxi- maciones florística-fitosociológica. Lazaroa 31: 173-182 (2010). Carrión y Fernández (2009; C&F) en un comentario recientemente publicado en Journal of Biogeography han criticado la falta de relación entre las predicciones que sobre modelos de vegetación natural potencial (PNV) han hecho los fitoso- ciólogos, y aquellas sostenidas por datos polínicos, utilizando este hecho para hacer una crítica amplia y general de la fi- tosociología, negándola, aunque de forma breve, el estatus de ciencia.

  • Abies Concolor (White Fir)
    Compiled here is distribution, characteristics and other information on host species featured as ‘Host of the Month’ in past issues of the COMTF Monthly Report. Abies concolor (white fir) This is an evergreen tree native to the mountains of southern Oregon, California, the southern Rocky Mountains, and Baja California. Large and symmetrical, white fir grows 80 – 120ft tall and 15 – 20ft wide in its native range and in the Pacific Northwest. White fir is one of the top timber species found in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of CA and is a popular Christmas tree, as well as one of the most commonly grown native firs in Western gardens. Young trees are conical in shape, but develop a dome-like crown with age. The flattened needles of white fir are silvery blue-green, blunt at the tip , and grow 2 – 3in long. Often curving upwards, the needles extend at right angles from the twig, and twigs produce a citrus smell when needles are broken. White fir is monoecious, producing yellow- to red-toned, catkin-like male flowers and inconspicuous yellow-brown female flowers. The oblong cones grow 3 – 5 in upright, are yellow-green to purple in color, and are deciduous at maturity, dispersing seed in the fall. New twigs are dark- orange, but become gray-green, then gray with maturity. The bark of saplings is thin, smooth, and gray, turning thick, ash-gray with age, and developing deep irregular furrows. P. ramorum- infected Abies concolor (white fir) was first reported in the October 2005 COMTF newsletter as having been found at a Christmas tree farm in the quarantined county of Santa Clara.

  • Central European Vegetation
    Plant Formations in the Central European BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Central European Beech Woodlands Beech (Fagus sylvatica) woods form the natural climax over much of Central Europe where the soils are relatively dry and can extend well into the uplands in the more southern zones. In the north, however, around Sweden it is confined to the lowlands. Beech woodlands are often open with a poorly developed shrub layer, Characteristic ground layer species may include various helleborines such as Cephalanthera damasonium, C. longifolia and C. rubra and sedges such as Carex alba, whilst in others, grasses like Sesleria caerlea or Melica uniflora may predominate, but in some of the more acidic examples, Luzula luzuloides is likely to dominate. There are also a number of endemic ground layer species. For example, in Carpathian beech woods endemics such as Dentaria glandulosa (Brassicaceae), Symphytum cordata (Boraginaceae) and the fern Polystichum braunii (Dryopteridaceae) may be encountered. Fine examples of primeaval beech woods can be found in the limestone Alps of lower Austria including the famous ‘Rothwald’ on the southeastern slopes of Dürrentein near Lunz. These range in altitude from about 940-1480 m. Here the canopy is dominated by Fagus sylvatica together with Acer pseudoplatanus, Picea abies, Ulmus glabra, and on the more acidic soils by Abies alba. Typical shrubs include Daphne mezereum, Lonicera alpigena and Rubus hirtus. At ground level the herb layer is very rich supporting possibly up to a 100 species of vascular plants. Examples include Adenostyles alliariae, Asplenium viridis, Campanula scheuchzeri, Cardamine trifolia, Cicerbita alpina, Denteria enneaphyllos, Euphorbia amygdaloides, Galium austriacum, Homogyne alpina, Lycopodium annotinum, Mycelis muralis, Paris quadrifolia, Phyteuma spicata, Prenanthes purpurea, Senecio fuchsii, Valeriana tripteris, Veratrum album and the central European endemic Helliborus niger (Ranunculaceae).
