“…One possible solution would be to apply to Italy the idea of Plant Micro-Reserves, originally defined by Laguna (2001aLaguna ( , 2001b and Laguna et al (2004) as small land plots (up to 20 ha) of peak value in terms of plant species' richness, endemism or rarity, given over to longterm monitoring and conservation of plant species and vegetation types. In fact, the protection of type localities was expressly mentioned among the goals proposed with the approval of some of the initial micro-reserves.…”

A B S T R A C TWe conducted a GIS spatial analysis with the aim of providing the first quantitative large-scale overview of the distribution patterns of 1536 type localities (loci classici) of 1216 Italian endemic vascular plants and their relationship with a set of descriptive variables. Whereas some variables were used to model the presence-absence distribution patterns of the type localities for the whole set of endemics as well as for the subset of narrow endemics, others (e.g., presence inside or outside protected areas and Italian Important Plant Areas) were considered with the purpose of assessing potential assets or risks for conservation.The largest number of type localities was found within the Mediterranean biogeographic region (1134),http://dx

“…Face à la situation écologique du Ghouffi et aux conséquences de l'anthropisation sur la dynamique des écosystèmes à forte valeur patrimoniale, la stratégie de conservation de type « micro-réserve » apparaît comme l'une des solutions à envisager sur le territoire (Laguna et al, 2004). En effet, les différences de spécificité des habitats impliquent de considérer la variabilité environnementale à une échelle spatiale restreinte dans la mise en oeuvre de plans de conservation adéquats.…”

“…En effet, les différences de spécificité des habitats impliquent de considérer la variabilité environnementale à une échelle spatiale restreinte dans la mise en oeuvre de plans de conservation adéquats. L'un des buts de ces réserves est de protéger les populations d'espèces endémiques et menacées, mais son principal objectif reste la conservation durable et la mise en valeur d'habitats naturels représentatifs (Laguna et al, 2004). Ainsi, ce système pourrait regrouper plusieurs micro-réserves correspondant aux différents écosystèmes de la région des gorges du Ghouffi : les habitats préforestiers et les matorrals à genévrier rouge surplombant le canyon, les habitats steppiques sur les glacis et versants de raccordement à alfa et à armoise blanche, l'habitat oasien dans les gorges contenant les palmeraies sur les terrasses de l'oued et la végétation des falaises.…”

“…Conservation figures such as 'plant micro-reserves' (cf. Laguna, 2001;Laguna & al., 2004) would be useful for that purpose, since they are small plots that require active management to maintain vegetation spots unchangeable along time, therefore avoiding community (and also species) successional replacement. This is especially relevant in the riparian vegetation, in which most species are found, including several threatened species.…”

Orchidaceae show a high diversity of species in Brazil, especially in the Atlantic Forest Biome. Over the course of a 12-month study in the State Park of Serra do Tabuleiro in Southern Brazil, collections were made of orchids occurring in areas of restinga and riparian vegetation. A total of 92 orchid species were registered, belonging to three subfamilies and 51 genera. Octomeria was the best represented genus with ten species. Among all collections, two species are new records for Santa Catarina state, and 20 species is reported for the first time in the studied region. Regarding to conservation, 17 species (19%) are currently included with different threat labellings in any of the red lists of threatened plant species of Brazil. Among the total of orchids registered, 55 species (59%) are characteristic holoepiphytes, 47 species (51%) are restricted to the Atlantic Forest, 77 species (84%) occur in the riparian vegetation, and only nine species (10%) are restricted to restinga vegetation. The remarkable richness of orchids found in the present study highlights the importance for conservation the studied forest remnants. The historical of environmental degradation of the restinga vegetation can be negatively influencing the current floristic composition of the orchid community.
