Short description:
The Plants of Mediterranean temporary pools: do we know enough for their conservation? / Bagella, Simonetta; Grillas, Patrick; Rhazi, Laila. - (2015), pp. 18-18. (Intervento presentato al convegno International symposium of Mediterranean temporary ponds: book of abstracts).
abstract:
Mediterranean wetlands combine high conservation value and intense pressure from human activities and climate change. Temporary pools, which are important habitats for
biodiversity in the Mediterranean region, are particularly exposed to destruction following their small size and depth. They show high species richness including many rare and specialized species, as well as high beta and gamma diversity resulting from the range of environmental conditions they encompass.
