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.

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. -
The Pyrenees
The Pyrenees A Greentours Holiday for the Alpine Garden Society 10th to 23rd June 2011 Led by Paul Cardy Trip Report and Systematic Lists by Paul Cardy Day 1 Friday 10 th June Arrival and Transfer to Formigueres Having driven from the south western Alps and reached Carcassonne the previous evening, I continued to Toulouse to meet the group at the airport. I was unexpectedly delayed by French customs who stopped me at the toll booth entering the city. There followed a lengthy questioning, as I had to unpack the contents of my suspiciously empty Italian mini-bus and show them my two large boxes of books, suitcase full of clothes, picnic supplies, etc., to convince them my purpose was a botanical tour to the Pyrenees. Now a little late I arrived breathlessly at Toulouse airport and rushed to the gate to meet Margaret, and the New Zealand contingent of Chris, Monica, Archie and Lynsie, hurriedly explaining the delay. Anyway we were soon back on the motorway and heading south towards Foix. White Storks in a field on route was a surprise. We made a picnic stop at a functional aire where there were tables, and a selection of weedy plants. Black Kite soared overhead. Once past Foix and Ax-les- Thermes the scenery became ever more interesting as we wound our way up to a misty Col de Puymorens. There a short stop yielded Pulsatilla vernalis in fruit and Trumpet Gentians. Roadside cliffs had Rock Soapwort, Saxifraga paniculata , and Elder-flowered Orchids became numerous. Now in the Parc Naturel Régional des Pyrénées Catalanes, a fascinating route down into the valley took us through Saillagouse and Mont-Louis before heading up a minor road to the village of Formigueres, our base for the first three nights. -
Bulletin 24/25 of the European Dry Grassland Group
Bulletin 24/25 of the European Dry Grassland Group For autumn and winter 2014, we have prepared a double issue of our Bulletin for you. The core topic of this issue is the field workshops, which are getting more and more popular among the EDGG members, as they combine interesting fieldwork, efficient knowledge acquisition and the pleasant company of an international team of naturalists. An extensive report on the last Field Workshop, organized in June 2014 in Navarre, Spain, is followed by an invitation to the Field Workshop in Poland, planned for June 2015. Hopefully, you will appreciate also the report on the research visit of 7 EDGG members to Bavaria, the updated information on our editorial activities (special issues in international journals), book review, and various smaller items in the bulletin’s regular sections. As this issue is the last for the year 2014, we would like to express our thanks to the many of you who contributed to the organization of, and participation in, the events and activities of the EDGG. We would also like to thank those of you who helped to make our Bulletin interesting by providing news, information or pictures. We wish all of you a peaceful Christmas time and good luck for the coming year 2015.

Paolo Romagnoli & Bruno Foggi Vascular Flora of the Upper
Paolo Romagnoli & Bruno Foggi Vascular Flora of the upper Sestaione Valley (NW-Tuscany, Italy) Abstract Romagnoli, P. & Foggi B.: Vascular Flora of the upper Sestaione Valley (NW-Tuscany, Italy). — Fl. Medit. 15: 225-305. 2005. — ISSN 1120-4052. The vascular flora of the Upper Sestaione valley is here examined. The check-list reported con- sists of 580 species, from which 8 must be excluded (excludendae) and 27 considered doubtful. The checked flora totals 545 species: 99 of these were not found during our researches and can- not be confirmed. The actual flora consists of 446 species, 61 of these are new records for the Upper Sestaione Valley. The biological spectrum shows a clear dominance of hemicryptophytes (67.26 %) and geophytes (14.13 %); the growth form spectrum reveals the occurrence of 368 herbs, 53 woody species and 22 pteridophytes. From phytogeographical analysis it appears there is a significant prevalence of elements of the Boreal subkingdom (258 species), including the Orohypsophyle element (103 species). However the "linkage groups" between the Boreal subkingdom and Tethyan subkingdom are well represented (113 species). Endemics are very important from the phyto-geographical point of view: Festuca riccerii, exclusive to the Tuscan- Emilian Apennine and Murbeckiella zanonii exclusive of the Northern Apennine; Saxifraga aspera subsp. etrusca and Globularia incanescens are endemic to the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine and Apuan Alps whilst Festuca violacea subsp. puccinellii is endemic to the north- ern Apennines and Apuan Alps. The Apennine endemics total 11 species. A clear relationship with the Alpine area is evident from 13 Alpine-Apennine species. The Tuscan-Emilian Apennine marks the southern distribution limit of several alpine and northern-central European entities. -
Further Disintegration and Redefinition of Clerodendrum (Lamiaceae): Implications for the Understanding of the Evolution of an Intriguing Breeding Strategy

Although recent studies have resulted in C. subg. Cyclonema and C. sect. Konocalyx being removed to the resurrected genus Rotheca, and the unispecific genus Huxleya being sunk into Clerodendrum, it has been unclear whether Clerodendrum as currently circumscribed is monophyletic, particularly in relation to the American genera Aegiphila, Amasonia, and Tetraclea. This phylogenetic study employs four relatively fast-evolving chloroplast DNA re- gions, trnT-L, trnL-F, trnD-T, and trnS-fM, to clarify the generic boundaries of Clerodendrum and its relationship to allied genera. The results corroborate previous studies that there are three well-supported clades in the currently recognized Clerodendrum: an Asian clade, an African clade, and a Pantropical Coastal clade. -

Every one who is at all interested in the plant-world finds a special attraction in the peculiar and richly- coloured Flora of the Alps. Many thousands travel yearly from far and near to enjoy their “ summer holiday ” in the Alps, to inhale the sweet mountain air, and to absorb the mighty impressions of majestic Nature in the mountains. Of these, many are entranced by the lovely floral decoration of the High Alps and become desirous of making themselves better acquainted with the many gay forms of the Alpine Flora. They soon realise that besides “ Alpenrosen ” (Rhododendron) and “ Edelweiss,” the favourite well-known types of the mountain-flora, there are many other genera which find their home only in the mountains, where their blossoms sometimes stand so close together as practically to form a covering for pastures, meadows and rocks.
