  • Bibliographical References on the Bryophyte Flora of the Canary Islands (1740-2006)
    References on bryophytes from the Canary Islands 1 Bibliographical references on the bryophyte flora of the Canary Islands (1740-2006) A. Losada-Lima1, S. Rodríguez-Núñez1 & G.M. Dirkse2 1 Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 [email protected] Abstract: A compilation of 427 bibliographical references on bryophytes from Canary Islands is presented. In order to include all the information dealing with Canarian bryoflora, we have listed all references that record any data on this subject. Introduction The literature about the bryophytes of the Canary Islands is dispersed in reports, journals and books. From the XVIII century onwards, numerous works on bryophytes from the Canary Islands have been published by travelers, scientists, naturalists and botanists. Many authors have reported about bryophytes collected by them. Some specialists reported about material which was sent to them by amateurs for identification. The interest in the bryophyte flora of the Canary Islands has lead to numerous descriptions of new taxa. The objective of this work is to provide an up to date bibliography of taxonomic, geographic, ecological, phylogenetic books, papers, reports, and other printings concerning bryophytes of the Canary Islands. Incorporated are publications in which bryophytes are mentioned in connection with the Canary Islands. In all, 427 references are listed, of which slightly more than 25% has its focus on bryophytes from the Canary Islands. Although the literature was extensively searched and the list was carefully compiled, errors or omissions may occur. Corrections, additions, as well as new references are welcomed by the corresponding author. ARCHIVE FOR BRYOLOGY 24 (2007) 2 Losada-Lima, Rodríguez-Núñez & Dirkse List of references Ade, A.

    European Site Conservation Objectives: Supplementary advice on conserving and restoring site features St Austell Clay Pits Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Site Code: UK0030282 St Austell Clay Pits SAC - Baal Pit (photo credit D. Callaghan 2011) Date of Publication: 11 February 2019 Page 1 of 13 About this document This document provides Natural England’s supplementary advice about the European Site Conservation Objectives relating to St Austell Clay Pits SAC. This advice should therefore be read together with the SAC Conservation Objectives available here You should use the Conservation Objectives, this Supplementary Advice and any case-specific advice given by Natural England when developing, proposing or assessing an activity, plan or project that may affect this site. This Supplementary Advice to the Conservation Objectives presents attributes which are ecological characteristics of the designated species and habitats within a site. The listed attributes are considered to be those that best describe the site’s ecological integrity and which, if safeguarded, will enable achievement of the Conservation Objectives. Each attribute has a target which is either quantified or qualitative depending on the available evidence. The target identifies as far as possible the desired state to be achieved for the attribute. The tables provided below bring together the findings of the best available scientific evidence relating to the site’s qualifying features, which may be updated or supplemented in further publications from Natural England and other sources. The local evidence used in preparing this supplementary advice has been cited. The references to the national evidence used are available on request. Where evidence and references have not been indicated, Natural England has applied ecological knowledge and expert judgement.

INTRODUCTION Pines Tip is a disused china clay tip near Fraddon, centred at Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference SW918570. Cleanearth Energy proposes to construct a solar farm on top of Pines Tip and in relation to this a targeted survey was commissioned to determine if any part of the affected area supports the legally protected liverwort Marsupella profunda (Western Rustwort). 2. MARSUPELLA PROFUNDA (WESTERN RUSTWORT) Marsupella profunda is a globally rare liverwort known only from Portugal (the Azores and Madeira), the Canary Islands and Cornwall. In the UK it is categorised within the national Red List as ‘Vulnerable’ (Hodgetts, 2011) and is recognised as a priority for biodiversity conservation in England under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006. It also receives full legal protection under Schedule 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and is listed on Annex II of the EC Habitats Directive. Much of the British population is found within the Cornish china clay district near St. Austell, where it is characteristically an early colonist of crumbling granite rocks and boulders exposed by quarrying activity.

  • Marsupella Profunda
    Report under the Article 17 of the Habitats Directive European Environment Period 2007-2012 Agency European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity Marsupella profunda Annex II Priority Yes Species group Non-vascular plants Regions Atlantic, Macaronesian, Mediterranean Marsupella profunda is a rare liverwort which grows on micaceous or clay waste substrates which are flat or gently sloping. It appears to be a pioneer species, the largest populations being found on surfaces showing the early stages of colonisation by other bryophytes and by vascular plants. It only occurs on a limited amount of sites. These sites are situated in Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. Very important data from Portugal are still lacking, where this species has hardly been assessed (resulting in an "Unknown" status for both Macaronesian and Mediterranean region in the national report). The status in the Atlantic region is assessed as "Unfavourable Bad", mainly due to the assessment of the United Kingdom which was ‘bad and deteriorating’. On mainland Portugal it is, however still on the red list for mainland Portugal (Atlantic region) and its status here is Near Threatened (NT) (Sergio et al. 2013). In the Macaronesian region its status is "Unknown", still it is according to literature well known on both the Azores and Madeira and on Madeira it has according to the latest information (Sim-Sim et al. 2008) been evaluated for the Red list of Madeira as Endangered (EN) (b2a). It is also found on one of the island of Santa Maria in the Azores (Gabriel et al. 2005). There is also a dubious record from the Canary islands (Losada-Lima & González-Mancebo 1999).
