Introduction
After two years as Associate Professor at the University of Valencia, I worked in the Environmental Council of the Valencian Regional Government between 1997 and 2001. There I was in charge of a LIFE-Nature project, involving the creation of the Plant Micro-Reserves Network in the Castellón province. Since 2002 I'm working as a freelance Environmental Consultant, and in collaboration as an External Researcher at the Valencia University Botanical Garden.

Its morphology and ecology are described and compared to those of the two taxa believed to be the closest to it, G. ramosa (Hegetschw.)...
The Valencian region, in eastern Spain, is home to ≈3050 vascular plant species, 68 of which are listed under the critically endangered IUCN category. To afford protection to our endangered, rare and endemic flora, a network of small (2–20 ha) statutory reserves has been created by the Regional Wildlife Service. These are termed “micro-reserves” an...

About the presence of Gentianella amarella (Gentianaceae) in Spain: a vindication of G. hispanica. Gentianella hispanica López Udias, Fabregat & Renob. was described in 2002 from populations in central Spain, but later, in the genus revision for the Iberian Peninsula published in 2012, it was regarded to be synonymous of G. amarella (L.) Börner, ar...
Background
Gene flow and polyploidy have been found to be important in Juniperus evolution. However, little evidence has been published elucidating the association of both phenomena in juniper taxa in the wild. Two main areas were studied in Spain (Eastern Iberian Range and Sierra de Baza) with both diploid and tetraploid taxa present in sympatry....

Endemismo ibérico con su centro de distribución en Teruel, cuyo área de ocupación es muy reducida. Forma pastizales más o menos densos en cubetas endorreicas de naturaleza salina. Sus hábitats se encuentran cada vez más amenazados, y a esto hay que añadir la muy baja variabilidad genética intra e interpoblacional.
Especie endémica de los altos de la Sierra de Javalambre (Teruel). Se consideran tres poblaciones, cada una de ellas fragmentada en núcleos de diverso tamaño, ocupando un área de distribución de 0,7 km2. Aunque cuenta con numerosos efectivos, el pastoreo intensivo dificulta su renovación.
La situación geográfica de la provincia de Teruel genera una gran variedad de ambientes que han favorecido la aparición de especies endémicas y el mantenimiento de otras que presentan distribuciones disyuntas, se encuentran en límite de área, o son raras dentro del contexto de Aragón y de la Península Ibérica. Muchas de estas especies presentan una...

The Valencian Community is home to approximately 3050 vascular plant species, of which 23 can be considered endangered relict species. Its distribution follows distinct geographical pattems that determine the disturbances to which different taxa are subject. In the studied species, rarity is inextricably linked to their evolutionary history, but hu...
