Climate change and agricultural intensification are threatening the Endangered Tulipa cypria Stapf ex Turrill
Many rare or endemic plant species survival in the world are at-risk by climate change and anthropogenic activities (agricultural and/or settlement developments). The habitats of rare plant species are decreasing and habitat fragmentation is increasing.
One of the most important endemic plant species for the island of Cyprus is Tulipa cypria. To understand the ecology of T. cypria and its threats, field censuses were made in 17 different locations in 2015 and in 2023, and tests were conducted on the temperature-dependent germination biology of seeds collected from the field. The T. cypria population has declined dramatically in recent years, due to to agricultural intensification. Climate change, especially long, hot and dry seasons, is likely to harm germination and bulb development of remaining plants. This research highlights the need to take urgent, island-wide measures to conserve the remaining populations of T. cypria.
期刊介绍:
The Journal for Nature Conservation addresses concepts, methods and techniques for nature conservation. This international and interdisciplinary journal encourages collaboration between scientists and practitioners, including the integration of biodiversity issues with social and economic concepts. Therefore, conceptual, technical and methodological papers, as well as reviews, research papers, and short communications are welcomed from a wide range of disciplines, including theoretical ecology, landscape ecology, restoration ecology, ecological modelling, and others, provided that there is a clear connection and immediate relevance to nature conservation.
Manuscripts without any immediate conservation context, such as inventories, distribution modelling, genetic studies, animal behaviour, plant physiology, will not be considered for this journal; though such data may be useful for conservationists and managers in the future, this is outside of the current scope of the journal.
