“…In this paper we analyzed distribution and threatened status for some boreo-montane species determined as rare in the territory of Serbia, but still not protected by any document (Vukojičić et al 2014). According to Hodgson (1986) species are considered to be rare if occur in less than 5% of the grid squares.…”

“…For estimation of the threatened status of analyzed species on the territory of Serbia, IUCN criteria and categories, version 3.1 (IUCN 2012b) were used. According to Vukojičić et al (2014) thirteen rare species in Serbia so far have not been protected by any national document. Threatened status of these rare species estimated on the basis of IUCN criteria, indicate that 10 of them (included in CR, EN and VU categories) should be protected by national low.…”

“…However, although the significant part of this flora has been already protected by national and/or international documents, certain number of them remains unprotected. Namely, previous analyses (Vukojičić et al 2014) showed that 13 rare boreo-montane species in Serbia have not been protected by any international lists (Bilz et al 2011, IUCN 2012a, the Red Data Book of Flora of Serbia 1 (Stevanović 1999) or national legislation (SGRS 2010(SGRS -2011, with no change even in the latest international lists (IUCN 2015). This fact was the signal for the further investigation and estimation of the threatened status for those potentially endangered species that should result in some form of protection.…”

“…Boreo-montane flora presents specific group of disjunctly distributed plant species, with the northern part of its range within the taiga region, while the southern part is mainly restricted to the mountains of central and southern Europe (Vukojičić et al 2014). Due to habitat specificity and their endangerment, the great number of boreo-montane species is protected by European and national legislation.…”

“…Due to habitat specificity and their endangerment, the great number of boreo-montane species is protected by European and national legislation. According to Vukojičić et al (2014), 19% of the analyzed boreo-montane species are classified as threatened by the IUCN list (IUCN 2012a) and the European Red List (Bilz et al 2011), and as threatened or extinct by the Red Book of the Flora of Serbia (Stevanović 1999). In addition, rare species analysis has shown that 84% or 52 analyzed boreo-montane species in Serbia are considered to be rare.…”

Abstract. Due to disjunct distribution and habitat specificity, boreo-montane species are particularly vulnerable to the declining in area and population size. Although great proportion of these species has been already included, certain number of rare species among them so far has not been protected by any national or international document. This paper reviews the distribution and conservation status of 13 rare boreo-montane taxa not covered by any act of protection yet. For each species, the IUCN threatened status in Serbia is given; on the basis of these estimates it is proposed for 10 of them to be included in further acts of protection.

The alpine scrubs and dwarf heaths of the Balkan Peninsula - an exceptional center of floristic richness and endemism

Alpine scrubs (Roso pendulinae-Pinetea mugo) and dwarf heaths (Loiseleurio procumbentis-Vaccinietea) are an exceptional assemblage of rich floristic units which contribute significantly to the overall diversity on the Balkan Peninsula. The main edificators of these types of habitats are mostly glacial relicts. Additionally, they are of the arctic, alpine, and boreal distribution types, which further emphasises their importance from the conservation point of view. We investigated their taxonomic richness, endemism, patterns of spatial distribution and diversification in the central Balkans as well as their coenotic composition using a comprehensive dataset (15,609 species occurrence data). The analyses were conducted at three hierarchical levels taking into account the ecological and geographic diversity of the alpine scrubs and dwarf heaths in the study area. The results obtained showed that in the alpine scrubs and dwarf heaths of the central Balkans 902 taxa (829 species and 73 subspecies) had been recorded, and that the proportion of endemics in these habitats is extremely high (ca. 22%). Our results further showed that in 180 randomly selected plots of medium size (? 10 and < 100 m2), the registered regional floristic richness for the unique sample size was 527 species, placing the alpine region of the Balkan Peninsula in second place among the richest alpine regions in the world. Moreover, significant regional differences in species composition were observed within the research area, with floristic richness and diversity increasing from north to south.
