“…In the western part of its distribution range, J. sabina grows in several isolated mountainous areas of the Mediterranean region and Central Europe. In Spain, the species can be found in the Iberian System, the Cantabrian Mountains, the Betic System and, albeit more scarcely, in the Pyrenees [5,6], in the Balkans-in the Dynarides, Šar Planina, the Rodopes, Rila Mountains and Kožuf [5,[7][8][9]. In the Apennine Peninsula, this juniper grows in the Central and Southern Apennines [10,11].…”

Weak Geographical Structure of Juniperus sabina (Cupressaceae) Morphology despite Its Discontinuous Range and Genetic Differentiation

In Europe, Juniperus sabina L. is a mountainous, rare species that creates small, scattered populations, suggesting their refugial nature. Recently, a new variety of this juniper, J. sabina var. balkanensis R. P. Adams et A. N. Tashev was described based on genetic studies. We expected morphological differentiation among isolated parts of the species range and between varieties, as was the case with other Mediterranean junipers. Cones, seeds and fragments of shoots from a total of 506 individuals were collected from 24 populations in Europe and for comparisons from three populations from Tian Shan. Almost all of the 16 analysed features significantly differentiated among populations and geographical regions as well as between the varieties, although most groups differed from others only in terms of a single feature. The thickness of cones, the width of shoots and the length of seeds were the most important features for differentiation. The geographical structure of the variation of J. sabina was weak, and comparative populations from Tian Shan were clustered with European populations, similar to the findings of a previous study on essential oils. We found slightly different patterns of variation of the two varieties of the species. The little intra-species differentiation could be the result of the long period of contact between nowadays distinct populations and their relatively late separation in the early Holocene.

“…Such information could help in putting in place monitoring schemes for both species, developing plans for managing protected areas and ecological networks, and ensuring in situ and ex situ conservation. Additionally, the data are important for making re-evaluations of the NATURA 2000-documents and the Croatian Red Book of Vascular Plants (Kremer et al, 2014).…”

New localities of two endemic, rare and floristically interesting species in the north-western Dinaric Mountains in Croatia are reported in the paper. Both species are statutorily strictly protected species in Croatia. Aquilegia kitaibelii Schott, as a rare, endemic species, is included in Appendix II of the Habitats Directive (NATURA 2000 Species) and in the IUCN list as a data deficient (DD) species. New localities of A. kitaibelii were found on Mt Obruč and the central and south sections of Mt Velebit, while new localities of Cardaminopsis croatica (Schott, Nyman et Kotschy) Jáv. were discovered on hills in the Gacka Region and the central section of Mt Velebit. In general, both species grow mainly from fissures on rocks together with other petrophilous plant species. It was also noted that A. kitaibelii grows on screes. In Gacka Region C. croatica grows in thermophilous habitats, that is, on rocks with different exposures, together with thermophilous sub-Mediterranean species and with some mountain species of common beech and silver fir forests. In the central section of Mt Velebit, C. croatica also grows in a thermophilous community of forest rocks as well as in anthropogenic habitats, like the edges of gravel roads. These observations suggest the ecological adaptability of this endemic species. žena su na širem području planinske skupine planine Obruč te na srednjem i južnom Velebitu, dok su novi lokaliteti hrvatske gušarke (Cardaminopsis croatica (Schott, Nyman et Kotschy) Jáv.) utvrđeni na području srednjeg Velebita i na padinama brežuljaka regije Gacke. Obje vrste na većini novih nalazišta rastu u pukotinama stijena zajedno s drugim petrofilnim vrstama, a Kitaibelov pakujac zabilježili smo i na točilima. Za hrvatsku gušarku posebno su zanimljiva nalazišta u regiji Gackoj, gdje raste na termofilnim stijenama različitih ekspozicija, u okruženju mješavine termofilnih submediteranskih vrsta i nekih brdskih vrsta bukovo-jelovih šuma. Uz Premužićevu stazu na srednjem Velebitu C. croatica se također pojavljuje u termofilnim zajednicama šumskih stijena. Opaženo je i da, osim stijena, hrvatska gušarka nastanjuje i sekundarna, antropogena staništa, kao što su rubovi šumskih cesta, što ukazuje na ekološku plastičnost ove endemične vrste.
