Some notes on the flora of Sassarese (North-Western Sardinia) and its modifications in the last century in connection with changes in land use are here discussed. Although the study area was heavily urbanised, especially in the last few decades, and had a long history of agricultural and pastoral use, its flora is still very diversified and rich and this, somehow, is strictly related to the land use. However the disappearance of some taxa, especially from wet habitats (springs, watercourses, temporary wet areas, etc.) as Hydrophyte and Helophyte, is pointed out. Other taxa are strongly threatened because of habitat fragmentation or heavy changes in land use.
