La flora de les cavitats càrstiques de les Balears: què en sabem?

The knowledge on the flora of the karst caves and shafts in the Balearic Islands is not well-consolidated and reliable data are known only about certain groups, such as bryophytes, pteridophytes and seed plants. However, gaps on the flora of almost all the Balearics except Mallorca are a reality. In...

Descrição
Resumo:The knowledge on the flora of the karst caves and shafts in the Balearic Islands is not well-consolidated and reliable data are known only about certain groups, such as bryophytes, pteridophytes and seed plants. However, gaps on the flora of almost all the Balearics except Mallorca are a reality. In general, the uniqueness of the cave flora in the archipelago is reflected as the presence of relict elements, whose presence at the surface is very rare or not detected until now. This fact highlights the conservative character of the shafts and caves with regard to the most mesophilic flora, very rare or extinct on the outside as a result of ancient climate changes natural or man-related, which has led to their presence in underground environments.
