“…laxiflora, also a population of about 100 specimens, lived in a different habitat -Mediterranean salt meadows (ass. Juncetum maritime-acuti) [47]. Besides these three orchid taxa, specimens of Serapias lingua and Serapias vomeracea, were also registered on this locality, with dozens of specimens.…”

During floristic investigations of Serbia, Montenegro and North Macedonia from 2011-2018, orchid specimens from the genus Anacamptis, possible hybrids, with characteristics intermediary to species already described for these countries, were discovered. These specimens, together with all potential parent species, were subjected to morphometric analysis in order to determine their hybrid status and characters that distinguished hybrids from parent taxa. Taxonomic studies have included the processing of quantitative and qualitative characters. A total of 60 characters were analyzed, of which 45 quantitative and 15 qualitative. Analysis of quantitative and qualitative characters included 82 specimens-60 parents and 22 hybrids. Statistical analyses included descriptive and discriminate statistics and multivariate analyses. Hybrid specimens in general had intermediate values of measured characters with different degrees of similarity with one of the parent species. On the other hand, they have higher mean values of some floral characters that may have an evolutionary potential. The possible taxonomic importance of hybrid characters is discussed. Results confirmed that the analyzed specimens are natural orchid hybrids (A. × parvifolia, A. × timbali and A. × gennarii) and represent new plant taxa for the flora of investigated countries.

“…No plant species found on the beach transect in our study. That proportion (34%) is higher than has been found in coastal dunes of Europe, where proportions of non-native species have been observed from 7% to 13% (see Carboni et al, 2010;Marcantonio et al, 2014;Del Vecchio et al, 2015;Stešević et al, 2017). Increases in species richness have been associated with moderate trampling (Westhoff, 1967;van der Maarel, 1971;Liddle & Greig-Smith, 1975), but with trampling eventually leading to vegetation degradation (van der Maarel, 1971).…”

Questions: Increases in all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use on dunes raises concerns about an ecosystem vital for coastal protection. We asked: with distance from trails, what are the effects of ATV use on (a) total, native, and non-native plant species richness and (b) presence and cover of the dune-stabilising plant Ammophila breviligulata? Specifically, how do (a) and (b) differ (1) between regions with and without ATV use; (2) with deeper ruts and increased distance from the ATV trail; and (3) between pioneer and shrub zones of dunes in each region?

“…This is mainly because the reduction of sediment discharge enhances coastal erosion and degradation of dune habitats (Mertzanis & Merzanis, 2013;Scapini, 2010;Tomaselli et al, 2011;Veronico et al, 2017). In addition, residential development and intense seaside tourism have altered the morphology of the coastal dunes and it is well documented that such interventions have negative impact both on the growth of herbaceous plants and the regeneration of coastal forests (Stešević et al, 2017). It is also known that any alteration of dune morphology leads to fragmentation of vegetation zonation and frequently causes the replacement or even the disappearance of the most common or sensitive plant communities (Fenu et al, 2012).…”

The vegetation developing on the coastal sand dunes and wetland of Schinias National Park, a Natura 2000 Site, was studied following the Braun-Blanquet method. Vegetation units were delimited using cluster analysis and by applying the fidelity measure; the phi-coefficient was used for the definition of diagnostic species. The vegetation types distinguished (twenty associations, two sub-associations and thirteen communities not assigned formal rank), which belong to 18 alliances, 16 orders and 12 classes, are discussed and presented in phytosociological tables. Among them Mathiolo tricuspidatae-Anthemidetum tomentosae, Pistacio lentisci-Pinetum halepensis pinetosum pineae, Puccinellio festuciformis-Aeluropetum litoralis cressetosum creticae and Tamaricetum tetrandrae are described for the first time. The vegetation types recognized in the study area are linked to twelve EUNIS habitat types, nine of which are related to 13 Annex I habitat types (Directive 92/43/EEC), and one to a habitat type of national interest (72A0). One Annex I habitat type occurring in the study area has scattered presence in the Natura 2000 network in Greece (1420), two are infrequent (2190, 2260), two are rare (2230, 2270) and three are priority habitat types (1150, 2250, 2270).
