1 Plant microreserves the site-based plant conservation and monitoring network
2 Major traits of the valencian flora vascular plant species; high endemism rate 65 exclusive endemics, 71 shared with neighbouring territories 225 endangered species; 84 Critically endangered High geographic scatter of plant species Small population size of some taxa Extremely localised occurrence, dispersed populations
3 Echium setabense <2.500 ind 5 populations Teucrium lepicephalum Verbascum fontqueri <2.000 ind 5 populations Silene diclinis <5.000 ind 9 populations
4 What is a Plant MicroReserve (PMR)? LIFE93 NAT/E/ ( ) & LIFE99 NAT/E/ Microrreservas are small land plots - < 20 ha of peak value in terms of species richness endemism or rarity, given over to long term monitoring and conservation of plant species and vegetation types This statutory protection figure was created by the Regional Government by means of a Decree in 1994 The legal frame confers PMRs a permanent status and provides strong protection to plants and substrate, while allowing traditional activities Its the only protection figure in the EU exclusively devoted to plant protection with a stron legal basis
5 Goals Scientific monitoring of target species ca. 600 taxa, 350 endemics and vegetation types to establish long term trends. Active management: ecological restoration, population reinforcements, creation of new populations of threatened species etc.
6 Private microreserves Private PMRs belong to private owners or townhalls. They can only be established on land designated as not for building. Owners and townhalls are given a one off indemnity in return for the permanent transfer of management rights Annual calls offer funds to carry out active management under the guidance of PMR technical staff Private PMRs allow the incorporation to the network of outstanding botanical sites Private PMRs involve society in plant conservation
7 Towards a comprehensive cover of rare endemic and threatened flora Stage LIFE NAT/E/ plots % endemics -40% threatened Stage LIFE NAT/E/ plots % endemics % threatened Stage (>2006) -FEOGA-FSE ->350 plots -100% endemics ->80% threatened
8 3170* temporary ponds 9560* endemic Juniperus woods Currently the best examples of the 18 priority habitats present in the Valencia region and 75 % of endemics are included in the network. The network exemplifies how small land plots can encompass a large share of the plant richness of a territory of high diversity, where small scale regional approaches to conservation are inescapable. 9580* Taxus baccata forests 9530* endemic black pine forests 1510* saline steppes
9 PMRs must not be seen as an alternative to large protected areas but as a complement PMRs allow closer monitoring of target species and actions tailored to the needs of particular species and vegetation types PMRS play a preemptive role PMRS have allowed the inventory of all the sites that contain the most threatened plants and habitats or areas of exceptional plant and habitat richness
10 Monitoring of flora and vegetation
11 Some common management practices...
12 Plant production strategy Current plant production projects: - acuatic flora (80 taxa) - scented plants (25 taxa) - rare endemic and endangered taxa (including in vitro) (70 taxa) - native flora with ornamental potential (50 taxa) - ferns (pteridophytes,15 taxa)
