The loss of se- riously impacted areas due to erosion is estimated to be 15 km2/ year. The UN-IPCC estimates that by 2020, due to Climate Change, 50% of Europe’s coastal wetlands will disappear as a result of sea level rise, at a cost of 5,400 mi€/year. According to the EC EURO- SION project, the regulatory EIA framework, the knowledge-based and traditional measures to control the erosion control have been weak or inappropriate. COASTANCE (Regional action strategies for coastal zone adapta- tion to climate change) proposes innovative techniques for mid- long term coastal protection Master Plans capitalizing on the Good Practices developed under several European projects (INTERREG IIIB & INTERREG IIIC-RFO). It focuses on those practices that resulted from scientific studies and the understanding of coastal erosion phenomena obtained in previous experiences. The concrete results – Realistic Submersion Risk Forecast Systems, Specific EIA/SEA Procedures and concrete coastal protection Master Plans will be proposed as Governance and Public Policy Tools for erosion control by regional, national and EU Administrations. COASTANCE focuses on the entire Mediterranean basin. The part- ners have jurisdiction on 3700 km of coast of which 1600 km are beaches representing 5 out of 7 EU MED member States that cover 95% of EU MED coastline and all characteristic coastal typologies of the Mediterranean: • Low-land areas around big river mouths with long beaches (East Macedonia-Thrace, Languedoc-Roussillon, Hérault, Emi- lia-Romagna) • Mixed rocky and sandy coastlines (Crete, Lazio, Andalusia, Cyprus) By achieving such a complete geographic coverage, the COASTAN- CE partners have the entire set of characteristics related to erosion phenomena in the Mediterranean and thus their work will lead to the development of coherent, plausible and applicable results. The increasing erosion phenomena and marine flooding risks ari- sing on the mid-long term related to the climate change effects 2 COASTANCE Component 5 - Phase B1 report (sea level rising, extreme storm events, increasing frequency and intensity etc.) pushes Public Administrations towards a strategic approach for the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) with a particular emphasis on coastal protection. The loss of rivers solid transport (due to hydraulic works, bridles, crossbars, dams, on rivers), the presence of hard protection works and harbours along the coasts (that intercept the natural distribu- tion of sediments) and the climate changes effects, increased the vulnerability of coastal stretches, today affected by widespread erosion processes and marine flooding hazards. In this framework, it is evident the need of a strategic and sustainable management of coastal sediments, paying attention to the new environmental aspects involved in the related activities.

Brunu Plants and grazing: an evaluation of the effects on Sardinian endemic plants conservation Abstract Camarda, I., Brundu, G., Carta, L., Vacca, G. & Brunu, A.: Plants and grazing: an evaluation of the effects on Sardinian endemic plants conservation. — Fl. Medit. 25 (Special Issue): 263-275. 2015. — ISSN: 1120-4052 printed, 2240-4538 online. We analysed the relationship between the 302 endemic entities of the Sardinian flora and the free-ranging domestic herbivores. This study highlights that the presence of spines, toxic com- pounds, resins, aromas and the adaptation to specific habitats are very effective defense traits that concur to the conservation of these species. The presence and abundance of 45.4 % endem- ic entities of the Sardinian flora is not affected by grazing and browsing, while domestic herbi- vores promote the presence and abundance of 38.4 % of endemic entities by reducing other competing species such as pabular herbs and woody species. However, grazing and browsing may threaten 16.2 % of the endemic species. This study remarks the importance of the man- agement of free-ranging domestic herbivores for effective conservation politics aiming to pro- tect the endemic entities of the Sardinian flora. Key words: life forms, traits, defense, domestic herbivores, Sardinia. Introduction The endemic species characterise the biological history of a given region. A compre- hensive understanding of the vegetation dynamic successions and of the relationships between animal and plant is the basis for an effective policy for nature conservation.

A database driven selection of plant and animal species for the implementation of the Pan European Ecological Network. Wageningen, Alterra, Alterra-report 1119. 193 pages; 30 figs.; 18 tables; 134 refs. The concept of ecological networks is becoming increasingly important in both policies and practices of nature conservation throughout Europe. The establishment of the Pan Ecological European Network (PEEN) can be seen as one of the priority issues for nature conservation. For the establishment of such networks, it is essential to have adequate information on the threat status and distribution of plant and animal species throughout Europe. As there are thousands of plant and animal species, it is necessary to make a selection of species that are considered to be of specific conservation concern, so-called ‘target species’.

Please bring this copy. Ce document ne sera plus distribué en réunion. Prière de vous munir de cet exemplaire. T-PVS/Inf (2009) 9 - 2 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A summary is given of the current state of conservation of plant diversity in Europe and gaps in our baseline knowlege are identified. Published data on the recent effects on climate change on European plants are reviewed, including changes in phenology and altitudinal shifts. All the available evidence points to the high probability that plant diversity, both at the landscape and ecosystem level and at the species and population level will be severely impacted by climate change over the course of this century, interacting with other forms of global change such as population growth and movement and changes in disturbance regimes. The impacts will not be uniform, with some regions such as northern Europe experiencing moderate changes and turnover of species, while others, especially in the Mediterranean region and high mountain ranges may expect serious disruption of existing ecosystems and their replacement with novel assemblages of species and the loss of considerable numbers of currently rare and endangered species in specialized habitats.

  • Alian) Family: Umbelliferae (Celery Family) Status: CRITICALLY ENDANGERED (CR)
    The Top 50 Mediterranean Island Plants À Bupleurum dianthifolium Sicily À N 100 km ¢ LORENZO GIANGUZZI Latin name: Bupleurum dianthifolium Guss. Common name: Bupleuro di Marettimo (Italian) Family: Umbelliferae (celery family) Status: CRITICALLY ENDANGERED (CR) Where is it found? This small shrub is endemic to the island of Marettimo (part of the Egadi archipelago, just west of Sicily). It grows in only a few locations on the northern side of the island. It is estimated that approximately 300-500 individuals remain, covering an area of approximately 5 km2. The species grows on calcareous cliffs at an altitude of 20-600 m, preferring north-facing slopes and growing in LORENZO GIANGUZZI the cracks of limestone rock faces. 88 Sicily How to recognise it This small, cushion-shaped perennial shrub bears its regenerating buds just above the surface of the soil and retains its leaves during winter. Its leaves are crowded at the tip of the branches with herbaceous, almost leafless flowering stems up to 40 cm long. The leaves are linear-lanceolate and often sickle-shaped, being broadest in the middle and hooded at the tip with three to five veins. The compound inflorescence consists of small umbels with three to eight rays. The species usually flowers between May and June. Interesting facts This species is considered to be a paleoendemic, which means that it was once much more widely distributed than today, and probably grew throughout the mountains of the Mediterra- nean when the region had a tropical climate. The plant reproduces from seeds only, a common characteristic of plants growing in such habitats.
