TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive extinction assessment for endemic vascular plants under the full responsibility of a single country is presented, which would provide an important step towards the prioritization and conservation of threatened endemic flora at Italian, European, and Mediterranean level.

TL;DR: It is suggested that soil pH greatly affects the growth and development of A. artemisiifolia and indicates that it may have a role in limiting the distribution and hazardousness of this plant.

TL;DR: The Ambrosia species represent one of the most problematic groups of invasive weeds around the world because of the ease with which they are introduced and spread in new countries, their generalist ecological requirements, and functional traits facilitate their invasion and subsequent naturalization in new areas.

TL;DR: The conservation status of Italian policy species is assessed, based on the IUCN categories and criteria, to evaluate the effectiveness of existing protection measures at the national level, indicating that the protection measures for policy species are inadequate.

TL;DR: In recent years, there is an increased awareness of the crucial role of plants in ecosystem functioning and in providing ecos... as mentioned in this paper, which is the case in many parts of the world.
