  • BGBM Annual Report 2017–2019
    NETWORKING FOR DIVERSITY Annual Report 2017 – 2019 2017 – BGBM BGBM Annual Report 2017 – 2019 Cover image: Research into global biodiversity and its significance for humanity is impossible without networks. The topic of networking can be understood in different ways: in the natural world, with the life processes within an organism – visible in the network of the veins of a leaf or in the genetic diversity in populations of plants – networking takes place by means of pollen, via pollinators or the wind. In the world of research, individual objects, such as a particular plant, are networked with the data obtained from them. Networking is also crucial if this data is to be effective as a knowledge base for solving global issues of the future: collaboration between scientific experts within and across disciplines and with stakeholders at regional, national and international level.

  • IN MEMORIAM Elli Stamatiadou
    PHYTOLOGIA BALCANICA 21 (2), Sofia, 2015 221 IN MEMORIAM Elli Stamatiadou (1933–2015) Elli Stamatiadou passed away on 1 May 2015 after a serious illness. She was the chief curatorial assistant of the Goulandris Natural History Museum, from 1965 to 2009 and the greatest contributor to the Muse- um’s botanical collections, both in quantity and outstanding quality. We can certainly state that in Greece she was one of the most visible and respected plant-collectors of her day. Elli was born on 1 April 1933 in the village of Apikia on the island of Andros in the northern Kiklades. After completing high school she moved to Athens with the plan of studying physical education at the University of Athens. However, marriage to Yiannis Stamatiadis in 1953 and work at the publishing house of Ioannis Passas (producer of the well-known “Helios” encyclopaedia) followed. In 1963 her husband, a qualified electrician, took part in the restoration and renovation of a large 19th century residence in Ki- fissia, north of Athens where he became director of technical services. This building eventually opened to the public as the Goulandris Natural History Museum, founded in 1964 by Angelos and Niki Goulandris. Fig. 1.

The old image above, with Executive Manager, colored glass bottles and delicate sealed test tubes sure does. Inside these containers, NordGen genetic diversity is stored in the shape of landrace wheat, wrinkly peas and patterned beans. Each seed has its own history, its own traits – its own superpowers. It is beautiful. But then again, genetic diversity has always been special and fascinating. Once you have worked within genetic resources, you most likely become a lifelong ambassador of this field. Like the authors contributing to this book. Genetic diversity in the crops we cultivate for food and feed is essential for our livelihood. It is the basic of new developments and innovation in horticulture and agriculture and today also important for life science and biotechnology. But modern agriculture, urbani- zation, climate change and altered land use are some of the factors leading to the urgent decline in genetic diversity. In the best of worlds, we could reverse this trend by preserving plant varieties in the wild, in situ. But the reality is another and without ex situ conservation of plant varieties in genebanks we know that even more diversity would be lost.

  • Fifty Years of Mapping the Balkan Flora for Atlas Florae Europaeae
    41 (2): (2017) 163-175 Review Article Fifty years of mapping the Balkan flora for Atlas Florae Europaeae Pertti Uotila Botany Unit, Finnish Museum of Natural History, P.O.Box 7, FI-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland ABSTRACT: Atlas Florae Europaeae (AFE), a programme for mapping the distribution of vascular plants in Europe, was launched in 1965 as a collaborative effort between European botanists. A historical review of the mapping for AFE in the Balkan countries, cited in the last volume (16) from 2013 as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic (F. Y. R.) of Macedonia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, and Turkey (European part), is presented and achievements and problems discussed. The special challenges facing mapping of the Balkan area during the past 50 years include the extremely rich flora, diverse and mountainous relief, political and economic difficulties, inaccessibility of available data, and scarcity of botanists contributing and collecting data for mapping. Keywords: Atlas Florae Europaeae, plant distribution, uneven botanical knowledge, Balkan countries Received: 07 August 2017 Revision accepted: 09 October 2017 UDC: 58:57.087.2(497) DOI: INTRODUCTION published maps of AFE and converting them to a database.

  • Lost and Found in the Greek Flora Strid
    Lost and found in the Greek flora Strid Lost and found in the Greek flora Arne Strid Göteborg Botanical Garden, Sweden Mediterranean-type ecosystems The five mediterranean-type areas in the world – the Mediterranean basin, California, central Chile, the south-western Cape of South Africa and south-western Australia – are well-known hotspots of plant species diversity and endemism. In very general terms they are characterised by a climate with hot dry summers and cool wet winters – the climate of olives groves, vineyards and citrus orchards. Most of the areas are mountainous with a great diversity of local climate, bedrock and soil. The native vegetation is generally dominated by evergreen, hard-leaved shrubs and feature a number of bulbous and tuberous plants. The northern hemisphere areas and the Mediterranean basin in particular have a high percentage of annuals, often associated with disturbed or manmade habitats. The floras are old in situ, and extensive speciation has taken place, resulting in a large number of local and regional endemics some of which can be classified as threatened or vulnerable. In South-west Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean area transformation of the natural landscape through agriculture and domestication of animals such as cattle, sheep and goats started at least 8,000 years ago. Great civilizations like the Minoan one in Crete developed some 4,000 years ago and by that time agriculture and animal husbandry was already well established. The long and gradual process up to the present day has had profound influences on the natural flora and vegetation, resulting in a complex small-scale mosaic of natural, semi-natural and manmade habitats.
