Abstract

In this contribution, the conservation status assessment of two vascular plants according to IUCN categories and criteria are presented. It includes the assessment of Genista nuragica Bacch., Brullo & Giusso and Jacobaea incana (L.) Veldkamp at global level.

Highlights

  • Habitat and ecology: Genista nuragica grows on Mesozoic limestones at an elevation of 1250–1310 m a.s.l., on windy ridges characterized by lithosoils and Mediterranean pluviseasonal oceanic bioclimate with a lower supramediterranean thermotype and lower humid ombrotype according to the Rivas-Martínez classification (Bacchetta et al 2009)

  • It is a member of orophilous dwarf shrub plant communities characterized by the occurrence of some endemic taxa, such as Anthyllis hermanniae L. subsp. ichnusae Brullo & Giusso, Helianthemum morisianum Bertol., and Sesleria barbaricina Arrigoni (Bacchetta et al 2020)

  • No significant threats were observed for this species, Genista nuragica could be affected in the near future by the effects of the ongoing climate change, such as extreme weather events, or the monitoring of population trends could prove the presence of a decline of this species
