Caucasus Plant Initiative: a Regional Plant Conservation Strategy
Caucasus Plant Initiative: A Regional Plant Conservation Strategy Paeonia wittmanniana Editors: Ketevan Batsatsashvili, George E. Schatz, and Tatyana Schulkina Design: Burgund Bassüner 0-00 Developed by The Caucasus Plant Red List Authority Kazbegi, north-eastern Georgia The targets of The Caucasus Plant Initiative (CPI), a regional Plant Conservation Strategy, correspond to the targets of the 00-00 Global Strategy for Plant Conservation. The present document also illustrates the relevance of CPI targets to the targets/actions in the revised and updated Ecoregion Conservation Plan (ECP) for the Caucasus (Zazanashvili et al. 0). Whenever possible, the CPI should be considered together with ECP in plant conservation and sustainable use planning. According to the 0th Meeting of the Conference of Parties of the UN Convention on Bio- logical Diversity (CBD) held in Japan, the member countries are requested to revise their existing National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) according to the “CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 011-00”. The statements of The Caucasus Plant Initiative are intended to be incorporated into the National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) of the Caucasus countries. Content Objective I: Plant diversity is well understood, documented and recognized Page 7 CPI Target : An online Flora of all known plants of the Caucasus. CPI Target : Global/regional/national assessment of the conservation status of as many known plant species of the Caucasus as possible, to guide conservation action. CPI Target : Information, research and associated outputs, and methods necessary to implement the Strategy developed and shared throughout the Caucasus. Objective II: Plant diversity is urgently and effectively conserved Page 10 CPI Target : At least 5 percent of each ecological region or vegetation type secured through effective management and/or restoration. -

What Is a Tree in the Mediterranean Basin Hotspot? a Critical Analysis
Médail et al. Forest Ecosystems (2019) 6:17 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40663-019-0170-6 RESEARCH Open Access What is a tree in the Mediterranean Basin hotspot? A critical analysis Frédéric Médail1* , Anne-Christine Monnet1, Daniel Pavon1, Toni Nikolic2, Panayotis Dimopoulos3, Gianluigi Bacchetta4, Juan Arroyo5, Zoltán Barina6, Marwan Cheikh Albassatneh7, Gianniantonio Domina8, Bruno Fady9, Vlado Matevski10, Stephen Mifsud11 and Agathe Leriche1 Abstract Background: Tree species represent 20% of the vascular plant species worldwide and they play a crucial role in the global functioning of the biosphere. The Mediterranean Basin is one of the 36 world biodiversity hotspots, and it is estimated that forests covered 82% of the landscape before the first human impacts, thousands of years ago. However, the spatial distribution of the Mediterranean biodiversity is still imperfectly known, and a focus on tree species constitutes a key issue for understanding forest functioning and develop conservation strategies. Methods: We provide the first comprehensive checklist of all native tree taxa (species and subspecies) present in the Mediterranean-European region (from Portugal to Cyprus). We identified some cases of woody species difficult to categorize as trees that we further called “cryptic trees”. We collected the occurrences of tree taxa by “administrative regions”, i.e. country or large island, and by biogeographical provinces. We studied the species-area relationship, and evaluated the conservation issues for threatened taxa following IUCN criteria. Results: We identified 245 tree taxa that included 210 species and 35 subspecies, belonging to 33 families and 64 genera. It included 46 endemic tree taxa (30 species and 16 subspecies), mainly distributed within a single biogeographical unit. -

In this study two phylogenies are reconstructed using parsimony and Bayesian methods. A family-level phylogeny was estimated to test the monophyly and time of divergence of the South African lineage. This analysis, based on a published ITS phylogeny and an additional ten South African taxa, showed a strongly supported South African clade sister to the campanuloids. -

1998 THE MICHIGAN BOTANIST 107 OCCURRENCE OF EUROPEAN DEWBERRY, RUBUS CAESIUS (ROSACEAE), NATURALIZED IN IOWAAND MICHIGAN1 Mark P. Widrlechner Warren H. Wagner, Jr.2 USDA-Agricultural Research Service University of Michigan Herbarium North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station North University Building Iowa State University Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1057 Department of Agronomy Ames, IA 50011-1170 email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION In late September, 1998, Jimmie D. Thompson, a plant enthusiast, collected two inflorescences from a vigorous bramble near the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station farm southwest of Ames, Iowa. The unusually late flowering and the atypically compound, corymbose form of the inflorescences suggested that his collection was not taken from a common North American Rubus L. A few weeks later, additional collections were made when the senior author accompanied Mr. Thompson to the site. By using the keys in Flora Eu- ropaea (Heslop-Harrison 1968) and Brambles of the British Isles (Edees & New- ton 1988) and consulting European Rubus specimens held in ISC3 and excellent illustrations in the Czech national flora, Kve˚tena Ceské Republiky (Holub 1995), and the Illustrated Companion to Gleason and Cronquist’s Manual (Holmgren 1998), the senior author determined the plants to be Rubus caesius L., the European dewberry. In 1990, the junior author observed an unusual bramble in the Waterloo Recreation Area about 32 km WNW of Ann Arbor, Michigan. It displayed cer- tain morphological characteristics that seemed intermediate between blackber- ries (Rubus subgenus Rubus) and raspberries (Rubus subgenus Idaeobatus Focke), such as pruinose, tip-rooting canes resembling R. occidentalis L., leafy, corymbose inflorescences, and very sparse fruit set, which might be related to hybrid sterility. -

Monitoring plant distributions over large areas requires mapping that is fast, reliable, and repeatable. For Rubus, different types of data were successfully used for classification, but most of the studies used data with a very high spectral resolution. The aim of this study was to indicate, using hyperspectral and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data, the main functional trait crucial for R. caesius differentiation from non-Rubus. This analysis was carried out with consideration of the seasonal variability and different percentages of R. -
Piecing Together the Biogeographic History of Chenopodium Vulvaria L
Piecing together the biogeographic history of Chenopodium vulvaria L. using botanical literature and collections Quentin J. Groom Botanic Garden Meise, Bouchout Domain, Meise, Belgium ABSTRACT This study demonstrates the value of legacy literature and historic collections as a source of data on environmental history. Chenopodium vulvaria L. has declined in northern Europe and is of conservation concern in several countries, whereas in other countries outside Europe it has naturalised and is considered an alien weed. In its European range it is considered native in the south, but the northern boundary of its native range is unknown. It is hypothesised that much of its former distribution in northern Europe was the result of repeated introductions from southern Europe and that its decline in northern Europe is the result of habitat change and a reduction in the number of propagules imported to the north. A historical analysis of its ecology and distribution was conducted by mining legacy literature and historical botanical collections. Text analysis of habitat descriptions written on specimens and published in botanical literature covering a period of more than 200 years indicate that the habitat and introduction pathways of C. vulvaria have changed with time. Using the non-European naturalised range in a climate niche model, it is possible to project the range in Europe. By comparing this predicted model with a similar model created from all observations, it is clear that there is a large discrepancy between the realized and predicted distributions. This is discussed together with the social, technological and economic changes that have occurred in northern Europe, with respect to their influence on C. -
