Comparison of the vascular flora of the Mediterranean Peninsulas on the basis of distribution mapping
Comparison of the vascular flora of the Mediterranean Peninsulas on the basis of distribution mapping
The overall distributions of the vascular plant floras of the Iberian, Apennine and Balkan Peninsulas are compared by using the data of 2023 indigenous species and subspecies from volumes 1-12 of Atlas Florae Europaeae. The floras of the peninsulas have clearly different overall distribution patterns. Some details of these patterns are discussed.
