Can we protect threatened Scottish arctic-alpine higher plants?
TL;DR: The threatened arctic-alpine plants in Scotland are described from the results of a comprehensive survey carried out between 1990 and 1996 which attempted to record all populations as mentioned in this paper, and the factors affecting the survival of populations of these species are indicated along with the legal measures available for their protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of regeneration studies to the successful conservation management of Scottish rare plants
TL;DR: Maintaining successful regeneration is clearly essential to the conservation management of threatened plants and some of the considerations necessary to determine whether regeneration is successful are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

T.C.G. Rich,G.M. Kay,Chris Sydes +2 more
TL;DR: Ajuga pyramidalis is a polycarpic, perennial herb which is variable in flowering and population size as mentioned in this paper and grows mainly on circum-neutral soils (pH 4.9-6.9) in open grassland and heathland, and upland rock ledges.
Journal ArticleDOI
A morphometric analysis of Scottish Athyrium distentifolium: a contribution to the BAP
TL;DR: A morphometric analysis was used on the range of characters used to define this variety of Athyrium distentifolium and showed that it can be clearly differentiated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Promoting survival prospects of rare plants
TL;DR: There might be a danger that overprotecting some habitats, by trying to maintain constant ideal management prescriptions, might be putting some species at risk, and conservation managers can resolve the apparent conflicts between management for different species by ensuring environmental variation in space and time.
