“…Since bryophytes have been shown to be good indicators of other taxonomic groups (Sérgio et al 2000), this exercise may also provide protection for other important areas for biodiversity. Moreover, implementation of actions not restricted to administrative boundaries and with a wider geographical viewpoint will be important for a better knowledge of the evolution of threatened status (Rossi et al 2014), as for endemic bryophytes approached throughout all Mediterranean.…”

Knowledge of bryophyte diversity can be an important tool for identifying overall biodiversity hotspots. The distribution of red-listed species is an essential data for biodiversity conservation actions, and the assessment of species' response to climate change scenarios is also a key tool in future conservation strategies. In this study, we examine the response of four phytogeographic assemblages of all Portuguese red-listed bryophytes whose distributions are well documented in Portugal. The red-listed species were selected based on their vulnerability as listed in the new Atlas and Red Data book of Portuguese bryophytes according to the IUCN criteria. The main purpose of this study is to develop predictive distributions of threatened bryophytes grouped according to phytogeographic trends aiming to conserve this bryoflora in future. This is achieved by the identification of relationships between specimens' distributions and environmental ecologically meaningful data, which is known to influence different phytogeographic assemblages. Significant differences were found in all distribution models based on future climate scenarios. Several variables play a vital role in the species' distribution models in present and future environmental conditions.

Contribution to the knowledge of the Bryophyte Flora of the Vatican City State: The Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo (Rome, Italy)

For the first time, the bryoflora of the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo (Vatican City State) has been studied. Research led to the identification of 87 bryophytes (1 hornworts, 15 liverworts and 71 mosses), among which one liverwort and six moss species are new reports for the Lazio Region. Zygodon forsteri, epiphyte species considered Vulnerable in Europe, Anthoceros agrestis and other species rare for Italy, were found in the study area. In addition, the life-form of each species was taken into consideration, in order to compare with the ecological and climatic characteristics of the territory examined. The study contributes to the knowledge of a territory of the Vatican City State that until now had been almost unexplored from the bryological point of view and provides important information for the realization and definition of the European and Mediterranean Red List of Bryophytes.

Are Red Lists really useful for plant conservation? The New Red List of the Italian Flora in the perspective of national conservation policies

Abstract: "The New Red List of the Italian Flora" includes all the Italian policy species and other species of known conservation concerns for a total of 400 taxa, 65% of which are threatened with extinction. The Red List is based on a huge georeferenced data-set useful for conservation purposes
