All geographical data were plotted using ArcGis v. 10 (ESRI, Redlands, USA). The distribution information was used to compute Extent of Occurrence and Area of Occupancy of each species, following the IUCN guidelines for applying 2011 Formica Grande di Grosseto x 1240 criterion B (IUCN, ). Extent of Occurrence was obtained by delimiting a polygon that encompassed all the known localities of a taxon. For species that occurred on several islands (e.g. Linaria capraria) the polygon was computed /EEC). with the exclusion of the sea areas between islands (IUCN, 43 / 2011). Area of Occupancy was calculated by overlaying a 92 2 4 km Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid on the maps and summing the areas in which each species was located.

  • Plants and Climate Change in Europe
    Strasbourg, 2 September 2009 T-PVS/Inf (2009) 9 [Inf09e_2009.doc] CONVENTION ON THE CONSERVATION OF EUROPEAN WILDLIFE AND NATURAL HABITATS Standing Committee 29th meeting Bern, 23-26 November 2009 __________ THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON PLANT SPECIES IN EUROPE FINAL VERSION Report prepared by Professor Vernon Heywood School of Biological Sciences, University of Reading With contributions by Dr Alastair Culham This document will not be distributed at the meeting. 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.
