Ecological and Syntaxonomic Analysis of the Communities of Glebionis coronaria ...
Cano, Eusebio; Cano-Ortiz, Ana; Quinto-Canas, Ricardo; Piñar Fuentes, Carlos; Meireles, Catarina; Raposo, Mauro; Pinto-Gomes, Carlos; Laface, ValentinaNitrophilous communities dominated by Glebionis coronaria and Glebionis discolor in the European Mediterranean area were studied. The nomenclature was corrected according to the current taxonomy, following the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (ICPN). The statistical analysis revealed six new associations and one subassociation, with four in Spain, one in Greece, and one in Italy. Additionall...
Prunus lusitanica L.: An Endangered Plant Species Relict in the Central Region ...
Raposo, Mauro; Nunes, Leonel; Quinto-Canas, Ricardo; del Río, Sara; Vázquez-Pardo, Francisco; Galveis, Ana; Pinto-Gomes, CarlosPrunus lusitanica L. is a paleotropical relic species with an Ibero-Maghrebian distribution, which is presently considered as an endangered species, recognized by the Natura 2000 Network (92/43/EEC) as a priority habitat for conservation in Europe. The mountains in the Portuguese mainland central region offer the best location for this species to occur. The main objective of this study is to measure the current...
Cork Oak Vegetation Series of Southwestern Iberian Peninsula: Diversity and Eco...
Quinto-Canas, Ricardo; Cano-Ortiz, Ana; Raposo, Mauro; Piñar Fuentes, José Carlos; Cano, Eusébio; Barbosa, Neuza; Pinto-Gomes, CarlosCurrently, the occurrence of thermophile cork oak communities is becoming exceptionally rare, which can be attributed to the long-lasting impact of human agroforestry and grazing land-use practices. In this work we identified the thermophilous cork oak vegetation series of southwestern of the Iberian Peninsula and present an overview of ecologic factors and processes controlling the diversity of plant communiti...
Priority tree and shrubs for use in Landscape Architecture based on the dynamic...
Raposo, Mauro; Pinto-Gomes, Carlos; Quinto-Canas, RicardoThe reduction of the native forests coverage in mainland Portugal increased in the past centuries, leading to a marked decrease in biodiversity in general, especially on typical species of mature forest environments. However, urban biodiversity seems to resist more effectively than rural to disturbances due to the lower incidence of fires, as well as to agriculture expansion. Thus, in this work, we analyzed the...
Impact of Grass Cover Management with Herbicides on Biodiversity, Soil Cover an...
Piñar Fuentes, José; Leiva, Felipe; Cano-Ortiz, Ana; Musarella, Carmelo; Quinto-Canas, Ricardo; Pinto-Gomes, Carlos; Cano, EusebioIn the present work, we studied the effect of herbicide use on extensive olive grove cultivation. To carry out this study, we analysed the effect that herbicide use had on biodiversity, vegetation cover and soil water content. For this purpose, 96 vegetation and soil sampling points were first taken, then georeferenced, and for each sampling point, several bioclimatic variables were interpolated. We concluded t...

Forest and Arborescent Scrub Habitats of Special Interest for SCIs in Central S...
Cano-Ortiz, Ana; Musarella, Carmelo; Piñar Fuentes, José; Quinto-Canas, Ricardo; Pinto-Gomes, Carlos; Spampinato, Giovanni; Hussein Ighbareyeh, JehadThe habitat of the several territories in Ciudad Real (Castilla-La Mancha, Spain) are studued through the and mapping (scale 1:10.000) and vegetation analysis. The distribution and surface of the habitat presents in the Sites of Community Interest (SCIs), as well as pressures, threats, trends, and state of conservation are described. These site contributes significantly to the maintenance or restoration at a fa...
Taxonomy, Ecology and Distribution of Juniperus oxycedrus L. Group in the Medit...
Cano-Ortiz, Ana; Spampinato, Giovanni; Piñar Fuentes, José; Pinto-Gomes, Carlos; Quinto-Canas, Ricardo; Cano, EusebioSeveral studies have been conducted in the past to clarify various aspects of species in the genus Juniperus L. One critical group is Juniperus oxycedrus L., especially from the taxonomical point of view. For this reason, we have studied the ecology, taxonomy and distribution of the taxa in the J. oxycedrus group. From an ecological and distribution standpoint, in this work we use the ombroedaphoxeric index (Io...
Endemic Hemicryptophyte Grasslands of the High Mountains of the Caribbean
Cano-Ortiz, Ana; Quinto-Canas, Ricardo; Piñar Fuentes, José; Río, Sara del; Pinto-Gomes, Carlos; Cano, EusebioAlthough there are numerous studies on the floristic composition of the Andean and Car-ibbean grasslands, there are limited information from a phytosociological point of view. This work therefore aims to highlight the differences in this important vegetation type in these two biodiver-sity hotspots to gain a better understanding of their floristic and vegetational richness. The floristic composition of Andean g...
