“…The location of renewal buds was an important character in our analyses since it was the first step of the cluster and in the PCA. The predominant presence of two biological types chamaephytes and phanerophytes, could be a strategy that confers to communities of plants the facility to survive and disperse because renewal buds are allocated in different places and heights (Cabezudo et al 2009). However, canopy densities were high in both ecosystems, showing that the morphology of plants is dwarfed due to the effect of the serpentine soil.…”

We studied a type of Californian ultramafic chaparral to determine functional groups which can help reduce the complexity of ecosystem management. The study was realized in McLaughlin Reserve, State of California, USA. We analysed the species of a serpentine plant association previously phytosociologically described in the area: Ceanotho albiflori-Quercetum duratae for their functional traits and functional groups. Traits per species were measured building a trait database. We used Principal Component Analysis to identify the combination of functional traits with major weight and a neighbor-joining clustering to define functional groups for this vegetation association. Our results indicated that the studied association is dominated by phanerophytes, with low degree of spinescence. Leaves were mainly malacophyllous with high degree of tomentosity, reduced size and a partial shedding of leaves was observed during summer. We considered six functional groups as the optimum number of clusters in a total of 18 species. The two first functional groups were composed of chamaephytes with brachyblasts and dolichoblasts with differences in the degree of tomentosity. The rest of the functional groups were composed of phanerophytes where the differences between them were based on traits in relation to the branches, leaf size and the horizontal development of the root system. The functional groups obtained show that this serpentine chaparral is composed of species with a wide range of functional traits. The study of other Mediterranean serpentine ecosystems in California and elsewhere could contribute to create new perspectives of functional ecology and help in the management of these valuable ecosystems.

“…In this locality, given its reputation as a noxious weed, it was immediately eradicated (Verloove & Reyes-Betancort 2011). Soon afterward, small but well-established populations were also observed in two localities in Vélez-Málaga, again in Spain (Cabezudo & al. 2009).…”

“…Although the species certainly has ornamental value, it apparently is not widely available throughout the horticultural trade (it is not mentioned, for instance, by Sánchez de Lorenzo Cáceres 2005). Its presence in Málaga, however, was associated with a local garden centre (Cabezudo & al. 2009 (Dimopoulos & al.…”

“…Native to regions extending from the southwestern United States to Chile and Argentina. In the Iberian Peninsula Hoffmannseggia glauca has been recorded before in the provinces of Alicante and Málaga (seeCabezudo et al, 2009 for an overview).A few plants were observed in November 2006 in the Palmetum, growing around the base of a palm. Given its reputation as an environmental weed, after its determination plants were eradicated (comm.…”
