Background and Objectives: Previous studies demonstrated that fire severity induces different behaviours in plant species. Mother plant age is an important feature that must also be considered in plans of forest restoration. The objectives were to determine, in field studies, the effect of fire severity on the natural regeneration of C. scoparius and S. atrocinerea communities, to know the role of mother plant age on the germination of seeds of C. scoparius and S. atrocinerea, and to quantify their germination response at different levels of fire severity, in laboratory settings. Material and Methods: We have analysed the role of fire severity on the natural regeneration of C. -

Persistence of Wild Food and Wild Medicinal Plant Knowledge in a Northeastern Region of Portugal
CHAPTER 7 Persistence of Wild Food and Wild Medicinal Plant Knowledge in a Northeastern Region of Portugal Ana Maria Carvalho and Ramón Morales Introduction People tend to be strongly dependent on the landscape and natural environment in which they live and work, especially in extreme environments (e.g., high altitude, desert areas) and regions with geographical and social isolation. Beginning as children, these people have learned how to discover and understand the signs of nature and to observe changes in the landscape. However, they have also shaped that landscape according to their own beliefs and material needs. This adaptive knowledge is often a practical one, based on empirical observation and long experience, and transmitted through oral traditions. Such knowledge is not merely of academic or historical interest but is fundamental to maintaining cultural continuity and identity and, possibly, could play a role in achieving sustainable use of plant resources in the future (Svanberg and Tunón 2000). Today, the geographical and social conditions that led to the isolation of some European regions are no longer prevalent, and so changes in the cultural, economic and political contexts of plant use in these areas are coming faster and faster. The current reduction in the human population, due to out-migration and a general drop in the birth rate, and the abandonment of agriculture have been critical for rural areas and ways of life in these regions and have promoted the loss of cultural traditions. How these changes are affecting the system of local knowledge of plant resources and the maintenance of traditional plant use practices are some 148 | Ana Maria Carvalho and Ramón Morales of the questions addressed in this chapter, based on research in such a region of northeastern Portugal. -

Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (the "Habitats Directive") provides for the creation, in several stages, of a network of protected natural habitats called Natura 2000. 2. Under the terms of Article 2(2) of Directive 92/43/EEC, measures taken pursuant to the Directive must be designed to maintain or restore, at favourable conservation status, natural habitats and species of wild fauna and flora of Community interest. 3. Pursuant to Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC, each Member State is required, on the basis of the criteria set out in Annex III (Stage 1) and relevant scientific information, to propose a list of sites indicating which natural habitat types in Annex I and which species in Annex II that are native to its territory the sites host. 4. Annexes I and II to Directive 92/43/EEC may be amended in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 19. The amendments necessary for adaptation to technical and scientific progress must be adopted by the Council acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission. -

Adaptive Radiation in Mediterranean Cistus (Cistaceae)
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PubMed Central Adaptive Radiation in Mediterranean Cistus (Cistaceae) Beatriz Guzma´n1*, Marı´a Dolores Lledo´ 2, Pablo Vargas1 1 Real Jardı´n Bota´nico - CSIC, Madrid, Spain, 2 Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, United Kingdom Abstract Background: Adaptive radiation in Mediterranean plants is poorly understood. The white-flowered Cistus lineage consists of 12 species primarily distributed in Mediterranean habitats and is herein subject to analysis. Methodology/Principal Findings: We conducted a ‘‘total evidence’’ analysis combining nuclear (ncpGS, ITS) and plastid (trnL-trnF, trnK-matK, trnS-trnG, rbcL) DNA sequences and using MP and BI to test the hypothesis of radiation as suggested by previous phylogenetic results. One of the five well-supported lineages of the Cistus-Halimium complex, the white- flowered Cistus lineage, comprises the higher number of species (12) and is monophyletic. Molecular dating estimates a Mid Pleistocene (1.0460.25 Ma) diversification of the white-flowered lineage into two groups (C. clusii and C. salviifolius lineages), which display asymmetric characteristics: number of species (2 vs. 10), leaf morphologies (linear vs. linear to ovate), floral characteristics (small, three-sepalled vs. small to large, three- or five-sepalled flowers) and ecological attributes (low-land vs. low-land to mountain environments). A positive phenotype-environment correlation has been detected by historical reconstructions of morphological traits (leaf shape, leaf labdanum content and leaf pubescence). Ecological evidence indicates that modifications of leaf shape and size, coupled with differences in labdanum secretion and pubescence density, appear to be related to success of new species in different Mediterranean habitats.
