TL;DR: In this article, the flora peculiar to the dolomites of the Baetic Ranges, one of the richest territories in Europe as far as flora is concerned, is described.

TL;DR: Using the checklist of the Iberian gypsophilous flora, a wide data base with records of distribution arranged into 10 × 10 km UTM grids is collected and a series of parameters are reckoned in order to determine the priority level of the flora for preservation purposes.

TL;DR: The relationship between plants and the different types of rocks has been known at least since the sixteenth century when Caesalpino linked the existence of the endemic Alyssum bertolonii to the Italian serpentines as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A new methodology combining the concepts of endemicity and threat in order to provide an objective and highly accurate selection of protected areas is defined in this article, which is a new method to recognize areas of endemism which combines the results yielded by NDM program, based on the optimality criterion, and those obtained using MARXAN software, designed to ensure the representation of species in the management of biodiversity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether the Network of Natural Protected Areas of Andalusia, extended with the SCIs, is sufficient to safeguard the plant biodiversity, represented in this case by the threatened vascular flora.
