Nature Conservation 18: 31–48. doi: 10.3897/ natureconservation.6.5205 Abstract Currently, we are experiencing biodiversity loss on different spatial scales. One of the best studied taxo- nomic groups in decline is the butterflies. Here, we review evidence for such declines using five systematic studies from southern Sweden that compare old butterfly surveys with the current situation. Additionally, we provide data on butterfly and burnet moth extinctions in the region’s counties. In some local areas, half of the butterfly fauna has been lost during the last 60–100 years. -
Lowland Calcareous Grassland Creation And
BPG LOWLAND CALCAREOUS GRASSLAND NOTE 18 Best Practice Guidance Creation and management in for Land Regeneration land regeneration (Photo: © Tim O’Hare Associates) Frank Ashwood Introduction Calcareous grasslands are characterised by species-rich grass and herb communities which grow on shallow, lime-rich soils (Figure 1). UK biodiversity legislation recognises both upland and lowland calcareous grasslands and that these are of principal importance in England (Natural England, 2010), Scotland (Anon, 2013), Wales (Wales Biodiversity Partnership, 2008) and Northern Ireland (Department of the Environment Northern Ireland and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, 2011). This guidance note focuses on the lowland types. Current estimates suggest that up to 30 000 ha of lowland calcareous grassland remain in the UK, following significant decreases of about 13 000 ha in the area of this habitat between 1990 and 2007 (Natural Environment Research Council, 2009). Major concentrations are found on the chalk downs of Wiltshire, Dorset, Kent and Figure 1 Chalk downland flora Sussex, with other significant areas in the Chilterns, Mendips and Cotswolds, and (Photo: © Natural England/Chris Gomersall) along the limestone outcrops and coastal cliffs of north and south Wales. Only small areas are found in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Losses are mostly due to agricultural improvement and reductions in traditional grazing management practices. While natural calcareous grasslands typically develop on dry valley slopes, semi-natural calcareous grasslands can develop in areas disturbed by human activities, including on exposed rock in disused chalk and limestone workings, along road verges and railway cuttings, and on post-industrial land (JNCC, 2011). The establishment of calcareous grassland on reclaimed land is contributing to UK national conservation targets for this priority habitat (e.g. -

INTRODUCCIÓN. Se encuadra esta aportación a caballo entre un catálogo floristico técnico y una obra divulgativa. Por un lado se pretende hacer referencia a la ecología, distribución y estatus de las plantas herborizadas y catalogadas en el Subbético cordobés desde 1990, que fueron sistemáticas entre los años 1994-1997; por otro lado, acercar esa larga lista de plantas al público en general, mediante la divulgación de aspectos ecológicos, biológicos o de uso humano que puedan despertar el interés del lector. Debido, en parte, al esfuerzo relativo que requiere un objetivo de este tipo, rogarnos discul- pe las incorrecciones de índole técnica el público iniciado en la botánica; como disculpe el ávido profano una posible falta de información de interés.

Maritime Alps Summer 2013 Wildlife Tour Report Botanical Birdwatching
Maritime Alps Satyrs and the Ancient King A Greentours Tour Report 16th to 23rd July 2013 Led by Paul Cardy and Stefano Doglio Daily Accounts and Systematic Lists written by Paul Cardy The third of the Greentours summer Alpine trilogy, following on from The Dolomites and Slovenia, was an excellent week in the western Alps, on both the French and Italian sides of the glorious Maritime Alps. Even after more than a decade of leading tours here, and living just to the north in the Cottian Alps, the area still holds some surprises. Plant highlights this year included Lilium pomponium, Allium narcissiflorum, and Saxifraga callosa all in fine flower, the latter locally abundant cascading from cliffs and walls. Special were the endemic Micromeria marginata, the beautiful endemic Viola valderia, and many of the local speciality Nigritella corneliana. New for the tour this year were Orobanche salviae, Phyteuma globulariifolium, Knautia mollis, Achillea tomentosa, Gentiana brachyphylla, and Leuzea conifera. It was also a very good season for butterflies, not quite reaching the lofty heights of 2012’s 124 species, but we recorded approaching 100 species, many in large numbers. The first five nights were spent at a small pleasant family run hotel in the Valdeblore hamlet of La Bolline, a fine location, well situated for all excursions, and with a small grocery and a bakery just along the street where I could do the daily picnic shopping whilst Stefano looked after the group at breakfast. For the last two nights of the tour we moved to the other side of Mercantour National Park, and the hamlet of Casterino, which allowed easy access into the Italian Alpi Maritime, a superbly productive area. -

Several studies have focused on the effects of these plantations on agricultural production. Prior scholarship reveals that shelterbelts enhance the diversity of bird and insect communities but generally fail to consider herbaceous cover. Our study aimed to describe the herbaceous vegetation in shelterbelts of different origins, tree species composition, and land management. We investigated surveys in four agricultural landscapes of North West Hungary, where the intensity of the landscape transformation is different. The diversity and species composition of the herbaceous vegetation were analyzed, including plant sociology and forest affinity. Our results highlight the importance of landscape history in herbaceous flora. Shelterbelts planted on cultivated without an immediate connection to former woody vegetation soil are not appropriate for Citation: Szigeti, N.; Berki, I.; Vityi, the appearance of forest-related herbaceous species, regardless of tree species composition or the A.; Rasran, L.

(Scarlet pimpernel or Burnet saxifrage), a newly introduced species, was found from Baekyakyi oreum (a parasitic cone or cinder cone) in Seogwipo, Jejudo Island. This species is native to Europe and western Asia and is reported as a widely invasive species around the world. Pimpinella saxifraga is dis- tinguished from other related Korean taxa by leaves that are pinnately compound with 3?7 pairs of segments, which vary from simple, ovate, to 2-pinnatisect, with linear lobes. The vernacular name of “Baek-yak-yi-cham-na-mul” was assigned after the name of the cinder cone where it was initially discovered. We provide descriptions of the morpho- logical characters, photographs and a key to allied taxa in Korea. The geographical origin and introduction routes are unknown, but it is highly likely that it was introduced as fodder given its high nutritious value for sheep and cattle or as a medicinal herb. This species invades commonly grasslands and woodlands and prefers dry, well-drained, and cal- careous soils. The distribution of this species was analyzed by searching extensively in surrounding Baekyakyi oreum and adjacent cinder cones, but no other populations were observed. -

We studied how soil 26 conditioning by the invasive alien Lupinus nootkatensis affected the seedling growth of co- 1 27 occurring native plant species in coastal dunes, and whether responses to lupin-conditioned 28 soil could be explained by fertilisation effects interacting with specific ecological strategies of 29 the native dune species. Seedling performance of dune species was compared in a greenhouse 30 experiment using field-collected soil from within or outside coastal lupin stands. In associated 31 experiments, we quantified the response to nutrient supply of each species and tested how 32 addition of specific nutrients affected growth of the native grass Festuca arundinacea in 33 control and lupin-conditioned soil. -
