Habitat conservation prioritization: A floristic approach applied to a Mediterranean wetland network

摘要: AbstractThe importance of plant communities for conservation purposes is recognized in their inclusion the “Habitat Directive” (92/43 EEC), that relates habitat types to community syntaxonomic units. However, definitions Habitat Directive lead several inaccuracies local characterization. Several wetland (and corresponding habitats), rare Mediterranean basin, are not included Directive. This study proposes criteria assessing habitats. It deals with at alliance level, as promising units setting priorities. The principle considered drivers values distribution and abundance species interest fidelity a community. Multivariate methods were used, quantitative floristic index priority was created. procedure applied ...
