A contribution to the knowledge of the vascular flora of the continental carbonate formations situated on the Central Eastern margins of the Campidano plain (Southern Sardinia)
The Authors report on results of floristic research carried out on some of the continental carbonate formations situated in Southern Sardinia, in which 291 taxonomic units were found, included in 63 families and 204 genera. This report also highlights problems existing for the conservation of flora in a territory where grazing, brush fires and in particular quarrying activity and archaeological excavations limit and/or prevent the development of vegetation cover. Analysis of flora has furthermore shown the predominance of species with stress-tolerant (SR) and competitive-ruderal (CR) strategy
