A comprehensive analysis of published records of terrestrial vascular plants reported from the Comino archipelago (Maltese Islands) since the mid-1800s and of plants recorded by us between 2008 and 2025 was combined to synthesise the first annotated and comprehensive checklist of vascular plants of Comino. A total of 328 observations were made, of which 78 are new records for Comino and two are recorded for the first time in the Maltese Islands. The flora consists of 490 vascular plant species. This study identifies and examines ecologically sensitive species on the Comino archipelago, including 58 strictly and legally protected species, 21 endemics, and several other plants that are red-listed as threatened species or are very rare in the Maltese Islands (e.g., Euphorbia peplis, Hornungia procumbens, and Malva setigera). Alien species are also reviewed, and 12 out of the 61 recorded species are declared invasive for Malta, but only a few are effectively invasive on Comino (e.g., Acacia saligna, Ailanthus altissima, and Oxalis pes-caprae). In addition, this account offers a concise yet comprehensive overview of Comino’s geology, natural habitats, climate, and anthropogenic history. More critically, it identifies the principal threats and pressures affecting the island, which have contributed, at least in part, to the disappearance of approximately 160 species previously recorded but not observed for several decades. As highlighted in previous studies, the persistent issue of over-tourism on Comino over the past 15–20 years warrants urgent attention, as the most recent reports indicate that some 10,000 visitors flock to the small beaches of the Blue Lagoon and Santa Marija Bay, which, as also demonstrated in this report, overwhelm and disturb this ecologically sensitive Natura 2000 archipelago.
Studying climate at fine spatial scales reveals critical differences between regional and local conditions. Quantifying and understanding the drivers of microclimate is essential for assessing climate change impacts. Microclimates can be colder or warmer than the macroclimate (i.e. buffering effect); but they can also deviate from macroclimatic trends, a phenomenon termed decoupling. We quantify spatial variations in both buffering and decoupling effects in a rugged Mediterranean landscape in south-eastern France in response to heterogeneous topography and vegetation structure. Based on 15 months of data, collected from a network of 60 microclimatic sensors deployed across 30 ha, we highlight fine scale spatial mosaics of contrasting buffering and decoupling effects that vary seasonally and depend on the microclimatic variable considered: maximum temperature (Tmax), vapor pressure deficit, or minimum temperature. Observations reveal large microclimatic contrasts within a few meters in terms of buffering (from -8.26°C to +10.77°C locally compared to macroclimate for Tmax in summer) and decoupling (from 0.35°C to 1.84°C increase locally for a 1°C increase in macroclimate, for Tmax in summer). Analyses further reveal that the main drivers of microclimate shift seasonally from topographic factors, particularly relative elevation and solar radiation, during the cold season, to vegetation characteristics, e.g. height, during the growing season. Although climatic conditions are often expected to vary linearly across space (e.g. cooling with altitude or latitude), heterogeneous landscapes may support mosaics of microclimates that can locally attenuate or amplify broad-scale climatic trends. However, while attenuation processes are relatively well documented in forest systems, both attenuation and amplification remain insufficiently quantified in complex terrains, limiting our ability to predict local ecosystem trajectories under climate change.
Les colonies d’oiseaux marins nicheurs impactent la physico-chimie des sols ainsi que les communautés végétales sur les îles. Ces écosystèmes insulaires sont caractérisés par des plantes endémiques adaptées aux conditions stressantes (xéricité, salinité, sol superficiel, vent). Plusieurs études ont permis d’évaluer les effets de l’augmentation démographique d’oiseaux marins, mais peu ont réalisé un suivi sur le long terme en prenant en compte leur déclin après explosion démographique. L’objectif de la présente étude (sur 24 ans) a consisté à mesurer les changements physico-chimiques des sols, de la composition des communautés végétales en relation avec la diminution démographique des Goélands leucophées (Larus michahellis Naumann, 1840) sur les archipels insulaires du Frioul et de Riou (Marseille, France). Les enjeux conservatoires de ce contexte insulaire ont été analysés en caractérisant les types fonctionnels des plantes (formes de croissance de Raunkiaer et stratégies de vie de Grime) et en étudiant la variation des plantes à enjeu de conservation, puisque l’apport de nutriments et de polluants, tels que les éléments traces métalliques, via les goélands peut entraîner leur disparition. Pour cela, des analyses de sol (en 1997 et 2021) ainsi que des relevés floristiques (en 1997, 2008 et 2021) ont été réalisés sur 78 placettes permanentes situées sur neuf îles et sur le littoral continental du Parc national des Calanques. Depuis 1997, les teneurs en nitrogène et le pH ont augmenté, alors que le carbone organique ainsi que le rapport C/N ont diminué. En 2021, les mesures des concentrations en éléments traces révèlent des niveaux de contamination relativement faibles sur le continent et les archipels. De 2008 à 2021, les communautés végétales des îles ont été caractérisées par une augmentation du nombre de plantes rudérales. Le déclin des effectifs de Goélands leucophées n’a pas engendré de diminution des plantes tolérantes aux perturbations ni d’augmentation très significative de la flore à enjeu de conservation, mais a entraîné une augmentation des chamaephytes et du recouvrement total de la strate herbacée. Nos résultats suggèrent donc une rémanence des altérations des paramètres des sols ainsi que des communautés végétales toujours rudéralisées. Cependant, une résilience s’opère en termes de recouvrement de la strate herbacée lorsque la pression des goélands diminue.
Human practices and local governance effects on plant communities is a major question in socioecological sustainability. Pastoralists' practices are intricately linked to governance systems and to their social-ecological context. For example, spatial-temporal mobility arises as a means to cope with seasonal variability of forage mass. This mobility might deeply influence plant biodiversity in rangelands by changing the ratio of perennial and annual life-forms. This study focuses on the commonly governed high- altitude rangelands of Castril, Santiago and Pontones (CSP) in North-Eastern Andalusia (Spain). CSP are grounded on three pastoralist communities who have self-organized into three different governance systems, that of Castril, Santiago and Pontones, for the use of three contiguous rangelands through extensive and transhumant grazing. Pastoralists undertaking Short-Distance Transhumance (SDT) or Long-Distance Transhumance (LDT) arrive on the CSP summer rangelands in early May and June respectively. We aim to identify plant community types within CSP to unravel the effect of community-based governances found in these three commons and the impact of the different transhumance types (SDT vs. LDT) on the plant community structure and composition. For this, during spring 2022 and 2023, we carried out 72 vegetation transects (point-contact monitoring methodology) spread in Castril, Santiago and Pontones encompassing the transhumance modalities. Plant data were analyzed through a Non-metric MultiDimensional Scaling (NMDS) ordination based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index. NMDS results revealed variability within the plant community distinguishing between perennials and annuals which belong to different phytosociological classes. This variability was partially related to transhumance modalities with LDT areas showing high density of perennials, whereas SDT areas showing high density of annuals belonging to the Tuberarietea-guttatae phytosociological class. Our findings suggest that LDT areas may provide more forage mass than SDT areas during summer drought. (c) 2024 The Society for Range Management. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Timber production is one of the most important ecosystem services provided by hardwood forests, but clear-cutting causes severe soil disturbance. There is a current need to develop alternative forest management practices to clear-cutting in order to simultaneously promote timber production, preserve biodiversity and enhance forest health and economic value. Here, we experimentally manipulated a Quercus pubescens forest to evaluate the effects of a thinning gradient (i.e., partial tree removal) ranging from 25% to 75% basal area reduction and a logging residue retention (i.e., slash management) on ground-dwelling spider abundance and species richness. These two alternative management practices were compared with clear-cutting (100% basal area reduction) and logging residue exportation methods. In each treatment, we recorded soil temperature and moisture, understorey vegetation cover, richness and functional traits and mesologic factors describing habitat characteristics. We found clear-cutting had a stronger effect than thinning on the microclimatic conditions, i.e., higher temperatures, drier soils and reduced forest buffering capacity. The 25% thinning intensity was sufficient to drastically reduce both spider abundance and richness, but we did not find a more significant reduction when more intensive cutting was applied. This result suggests a threshold effect in the response of spiders to cutting. Significant changes in the functional diversity of understory plant communities in response to basal area were observed, along with strong effects on spider communities. Unexpectedly, slash retention appeared to have little or no effect on the forest microclimate, spider abundance and species richness. This work is intended for forest managers and policymakers and aims to contribute to the development of relevant practices that address current environmental and economic challenges. While our findings provide valuable insights into understudied forest management practices in Mediterranean climates, additional research is required, particularly through multi-seasonal and long-term spider sampling.
The WOODIV v1 database provided occurrences at 10 km spatial resolution, traits and phylogenetic data for all 210 species (and 35 subspecies, totalling 245 taxa) in the Euro-Mediterranean Basin. While this reliable and readily accessible database has been of crucial help to investigate macro-ecological and biodiversity conservation questions, important knowledge gaps remained. To fill these gaps, we present an updated and extended version of the WOODIV database. (i) Occurrence data were updated from sources already considered in v1, three additional sources and an intensive field work campaign in Italy where occurrence data were scarce in v1, allowing to highly increase spatial coverage and data completeness. (ii) Besides increasing taxonomic coverage of traits already considered in v1, the traits data set has been extended to 15 new functional traits encompassing morpho-anatomy, reproduction and phenology, using new traits measurements from the field and data compilation from botanical literature not available in other databases. (iii) Finally, a new time-calibrated phylogeny for all 210 tree species was built and made available.
Microrefugia, defined as small areas maintaining populations of species outside their range margins during environmental extremes, are increasingly recognized for their role in conserving species in the face of climate change. Understanding their microclimatic dynamics becomes crucial with global warming leading to severe temperature and precipitation changes. This study investigates the phenomenon of short-term climatic decoupling within microrefugia and its implications for plant persistence in the Mediterranean region of southeastern France. We focus on microrefugia's ability to climatically disconnect from macroclimatic trends, examining temperature and Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) dynamics in microrefugia, adjacent control plots, and weather stations. Our study encompasses both “normal” conditions and heatwave episodes to explore the role of microrefugia as thermal and moisture insulators during extreme events. Landscape attributes such as relative elevation, solar radiation, distance to streams, and vegetation height are investigated for their contribution to short-term decoupling. Our results demonstrate that microrefugia exhibit notable decoupling from macroclimatic trends. This effect is maintained during heatwaves, underscoring microrefugia's vital role in responding to climatic extremes. Importantly, microrefugia maintain lower VPD levels than their surroundings outside and during heatwaves, potentially mitigating water stress for plants. This study advances our understanding of microclimate dynamics within microrefugia and underscores their ecological importance for plant persistence in a changing climate. As heatwaves become more frequent and severe, our findings provide insights into the role of microrefugia in buffering but also decoupling against extreme climatic events and, more generally, against climate warming. This knowledge emphasizes the need to detect and protect existing microrefugia, as they can be integrated into conservation strategies and climate change adaptation plans.
Urban streams display consistent ecological symptoms that commonly express degraded biological, physical, and chemical conditions: the urban stream syndrome (USS). Changes linked to the USS result in consistent declines in the abundance and richness of algae, invertebrates, and riparian vegetation. In this paper, we assessed the impacts of extreme ionic pollution from an industrial effluent in an urban stream. We studied the community composition of benthic algae and benthic invertebrates and the indicator traits of riparian vegetation. The dominant pool of benthic algae, benthic invertebrates and riparian species were considered as euryece. However, ionic pollution impacted these three biotic compartments' communities, disrupting these tolerant species assemblages. Indeed, after the effluent, we observed the higher occurrence of conductivity-tolerant benthic taxa, like Nitzschia palea or Potamopyrgus antipodarum and plant species reflecting nitrogen and salt contents in soils. Providing insights into organisms’ responses and resistance to heavy ionic pollution, this study sheds light on how industrial environmental perturbations could alter the ecology of freshwater aquatic biodiversity and riparian vegetation.
In the context of global warming, a clear understanding of microrefugia-microsites enabling the survival of species populations outside their main range limits-is crucial. Several studies have identified forcing factors that are thought to favor the existence of microrefugia. However, there is a lack of evidence to conclude whether, and to what extent, the climate encountered within existing microrefugia differs from the surrounding climate. To investigate this, we adopt a "bottom-up" approach, linking marginal disconnected populations to microclimate. We used the southernmost disconnected and abyssal populations of the circumboreal herbaceous plant Oxalis acetosella in Southern France to study whether populations in sites matching the definition of "microrefugia" occur in particularly favorable climatic conditions compared to neighboring control plots located at distances of between 50 to 100 m. Temperatures were recorded in putative microrefugia and in neighboring plots for approximately 2 years to quantify their thermal offsets. Vascular plant inventories were carried out to test whether plant communities also reflect microclimatic offsets. We found that current microclimatic dynamics are genuinely at stake in microrefugia. Microrefugia climates are systematically colder compared to those found in neighboring control plots. This pattern was more noticeable during the summer months. Abyssal populations showed stronger offsets compared to neighboring plots than the putative microrefugia occurring at higher altitudes. Plant communities demonstrate this strong spatial climatic variability, even at such a microscale approach, as species compositions systematically differed between the two plots, with species more adapted to colder and moister conditions in microrefugia compared to the surrounding area.
Trees play a key role in the structure and function of many ecosystems worldwide. In the Mediterranean Basin, forests cover approximately 22% of the total land area hosting a large number of endemics (46 species). Despite its particularities and vulnerability, the biodiversity of Mediterranean trees is not well known at the taxonomic, spatial, functional, and genetic levels required for conservation applications. The WOODIV database fills this gap by providing reliable occurrences, four functional traits (plant height, seed mass, wood density, and specific leaf area), and sequences from three DNA-regions ( rbc L, mat K, and trn H- psb A), together with modelled occurrences and a phylogeny for all 210 Euro-Mediterranean tree species. We compiled, homogenized, and verified occurrence data from sparse datasets and collated them on an INSPIRE-compliant 10 × 10 km grid. We also gathered functional trait and genetic data, filling existing gaps where possible. The WOODIV database can benefit macroecological studies in the fields of conservation, biogeography, and community ecology.
Question Species of the genusCarpobrotus, or ice plant, are succulent mat-forming perennial herbs often introduced for soil stabilization. They are common in coastal environments and may thus threaten island biodiversity. While their effects are well known on soils, plant communities and associated fauna, the effects ofCarpobrotuscontrol on vegetation recovery are poorly documented. The aim of the paper is to describe plant community trajectories afterCarpobrotusremoval. Location Bagaud: a 58-ha Mediterranean island, southern France. Methods Carpobrotusand its litter were removed in 2011-2012. Follow-up controls of germinations and resprouts were carried out from then on. Plant communities were surveyed every year two years before and seven years afterCarpobrotusremoval: on two ca. 0.5-ha sites (one coastal and one inland) and in three native plant communities used as potential references. Differences in resprouts, vegetation parameters, and Bray-Curtis similarity indices between years were tested. Plant community dynamics was studied through a non-metric multidimensional scaling and two recovery indices. Results The removal ofCarpobrotusand its litter led to the recovery of diverse native plant communities. To preventCarpobrotusreturn and ensure success, follow-up controls were necessary for a period of at least seven years, but the amount of work decreased with time. The plant community recovering on the coastal site quickly reached a composition and structure similar to that of non-invaded coastal vegetation, although some slow-growing native species remain underrepresented (e.g.,Crithmum maritimumandLimonium pseudominutum). The plant community recovering on the inland site was still very different from the surrounding matorral vegetation because of its slow colonization dynamics, particularly in the presence of competitive herbaceous species. Conclusion Both sites now provide diverse native plant communities with a more diversified composition and structure (plant heights, litter, bare ground patches) than the plant communities which used to be associated withCarpobrotusmats.
Aims Aeolian islands form an active volcanic archipelago. By using updated vascular plant checklists for islands and islets, we tested four hypotheses: (i) Island species-area relationship (ISAR) of alien species has lower c- and higher z-values than native species, (ii) islands with active volcanoes have lower species richness than expected for native and alien species, (iii) ISAR of native species shows lower c- and higher z-values than ISARs of Mediterranean land bridge archipelagos and (iv) species richness of smaller islets is independent of area. Location Aeolian Archipelago, Mediterranean Basin. Taxon Vascular plants, identified and named according to the Flora of Italy (Pignatti et al., 2017-2019). Methods Checklists of native and alien plant species were obtained for eight islands and 24 islets. ISARs were fitted by the Arrhenius power function (S=c center dot Az) and used to test the first two hypotheses. The third hypothesis was tested by comparing ISAR of Aeolian Archipelago to those from other central and eastern Mediterranean archipelagos. The fourth hypothesis was tested by fitting models defining the presence and limit of the small-island effect. Results The checklists included 894 species-749 native and 145 alien. ISARs fitted well for native and alien species and resulted in typical values of c and z parameters. The first and second hypotheses were supported by model fitting. The third hypothesis was not confirmed by the comparison of the ISAR of the Aeolian Archipelago with other archipelagos. The small-island effect predicted by the fourth hypothesis was supported using S versus LogA for both native and alien species, while for native species it was supported also using the log transformation of the Arrhenius model. Main conclusions We reported a first comprehensive analysis of plant species richness in the unique Aeolian Archipelago, verifying typical ISARs, no peculiarity with respect to land bridge archipelagos and a somewhat unclear signal for the small-island effect.

Dry grasslands of the Northwestern Mediterranean Basin are seminatural species‐rich ecosystems, composed of many annual species and some structuring perennial species. As these grasslands have been used as rangelands for centuries, human management (grazing; fire regimes) is one of their main ecological and evolutionary drivers, along with the Mediterranean climate. Despite EU conservation policy, damage to such grasslands still occurs and efficient ecological restoration is needed. This article reviews restoration constraints, effective techniques, and research perspectives for restoring them in the light of their ecological characteristics. Major restoration constraints specifically include (1) a poor contribution of the internal (seed bank) and external (seed rain) species pools, and (2) low establishment of some perennial species. The latter may be the result of the low seed quantity or quality of perennial species, stochastic or extended droughts, high soil nutrient content that may lead to competition (e.g. between weed and target species), inappropriate grazing management or fire regimes leading to shrub encroachment, or the death of target species seedlings in early stages of restoration. Successful restoration techniques include seeding, transplanting, hay transfer, and timely soil transfer, all of which have to be adapted to regional plant phenology and to local Mediterranean climate. They must be combined with appropriate grazing or fire management. Their success may depend on years with particular rainfall amounts or patterns or on particular target plant species. We discuss research perspectives contributing to a better understanding of seed dispersal, seedling recruitment, and soil processes and suggest the benefits of using ecosystem engineer species.
Adopting a multifaceted approach of biodiversity is believed to capture different aspects of the ecosystem functioning and it is thus advised for conservation prioritisation, especially for anthropogenic ecosystems but this key topic has never been conducted for the Mediterranean tree assemblages, despite their ecological importance. We explored how the multi-faceted diversity of woody plant assemblages, as measured by taxonomic (TD), functional (FD) and phylogenetic (PD) diversities, are distributed over space in the French part of the Mediterranean biome, and to which extend they are spatially correlated to each other, in order to understand whether one facet can be used as a proxy for another, especially for conservation management purposes. We analysed data from 5885 plots over the study area. We estimated several FD types by considering separately (i) regeneration, (ii) morphology traits (iii) modalities on species ecological properties, and finally (iv) considering all traits together. We used the Rao quadratic entropy to estimate the TD, FD and PD diversity facets. We tested for the links and spatial correlation (congruence) levels among these facets, using simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) models and partial Mantel tests. Spatial structure varied among diversity facets and spatial autocorrelation patterns were identified for all diversity indices from 30 to 50 km distances. We observed a functional convergence and a phylogenetic divergence within tree assemblages comparing to the ones expected given the regional species pool, indicating that even in tree communities with functional similarities, phylogenetic diversity may be high. PD was zero to slightly congruent to FD, regardless the type of functional traits considered. The highest SAR slope (=0.3) and partial Mantel test (=0.2) were revealed between the PD and the FD based on species morphological traits, but still remained considerably low. Each one of the diversity indicators reflected a different tree community spatial pattern. Functional diversity patterns varied according to the type of traits considered. Using only taxonomic indices may be misleading for responding to Mediterranean tree assemblages conservation needs and additional information about the species phylogeny and functional responses to disturbance pressures should be considered in large scale analyses.
Among Mediterranean trees, “ Juniperus turbinata” remains a little-known taxon. Described in 1844 (J. turbinata Guss.) it was ignored in many floras and checklists until very recently despite the fact that since the 1980s morphology and phytochemistry studies have confirmed its taxonomic individuality. The conclusions of recent molecular studies also point in this direction. The present work specifies its chorology by country or geographical sectors, allowing an updated world distribution map. Another map illustrates the distribution of the other two taxa in this group (“ J. phoenicea” and “ J. canariensis”). Aspects concerning karyology, reproductive biology and biological interactions are discussed, as well as its ecology : we thus present a summary table of the main phytosociological groups up to the level of alliance in which this taxon is characteristic or in which it just fits. Another focus concerns threats and conservation. Finally, a discussion on the complex taxonomy of red junipers (J. phoenicea sensu lato) allows us to justify our taxonomic treatment for the taxa of this group. Three subspecies (subsp.) are recognized here, a new nomenclatural combination is proposed and an identification key of infraspecific taxa is provided. Thus, Juniperus phoenicea L. subsp. turbinata (Guss.) Nyman should be considered as a remarkable circum-Mediterranean taxon often endangered or declining in its range which stretches along the Mediterranean coast from southern Portugal and Morocco to the eastern Mediterranean (large islands included), including the high continental mountains of North Africa, then ending to Middle-East in Saudi Arabia. Various pictures illustrate this juniper in different landscapes, ecological and geographical situations.
Background Tree species represent 20% of the vascular plant species worldwide and they play a crucial role in the global functioning of the biosphere. The Mediterranean Basin is one of the 36 world biodiversity hotspots, and it is estimated that forests covered 82% of the landscape before the first human impacts, thousands of years ago. However, the spatial distribution of the Mediterranean biodiversity is still imperfectly known, and a focus on tree species constitutes a key issue for understanding forest functioning and develop conservation strategies. Methods We provide the first comprehensive checklist of all native tree taxa (species and subspecies) present in the Mediterranean-European region (from Portugal to Cyprus). We identified some cases of woody species difficult to categorize as trees that we further called “cryptic trees”. We collected the occurrences of tree taxa by “administrative regions”, i.e. country or large island, and by biogeographical provinces. We studied the species-area relationship, and evaluated the conservation issues for threatened taxa following IUCN criteria. Results We identified 245 tree taxa that included 210 species and 35 subspecies, belonging to 33 families and 64 genera. It included 46 endemic tree taxa (30 species and 16 subspecies), mainly distributed within a single biogeographical unit. The countries with the highest tree richness are Greece (146 taxa), Italy (133), Albania (122), Spain (155), Macedonia (116), and Croatia (110). The species-area relationship clearly discriminated the richest central-eastern (Balkans) and northern (Alpine and Cevenno-Pyrenean) biogeographical provinces, against the five western provinces in the Iberian Peninsula. We identified 44 unrecognized “cryptic trees”, representing 21% of the total trees. Among the 245 taxa identified, 19 are considered to be threatened (15 CR + EN + VU) or near threatened (4 NT) by IUCN. Conclusions The Mediterranean-European region includes an unsuspectedly high number of tree taxa, almost 200 tree taxa more than in the central European region. This tree diversity is not distributed evenly and culminates in the central-eastern part of the Mediterranean region, whereas some large Tyrrhenian islands shelter several narrow endemic tree taxa. Few taxa are recognized as threatened in the IUCN Red list, and the vulnerability of these species is probably underestimated.
