In the present article, the proposal of a new suballiance, Lavandulo lui-sieri-Cistenion albidi, is presented, constituted by chamaephytic and nanophanerophytic communities in eroded decarbonated soils derived from limestones (leptosols, chromic luvisols and cambisols) in the dry to lower hyperhumid, thermo-mesomediterranean biocli-matic levels. It is distributed throughout the western Iberian Peninsula in the Coastal Lusi-tan-Andalusian and Lusitan-Extremadurean biogeographical territories. It is positioned in the Ulici argentei-Cistion ladaniferi, Lavanduletalia stoechadis, Cisto-Lavanduletea. The new associations Anthyllido maurae-Ulicetum jussiaei, Sedo albi-Cistetum crispi and Thymetum congesti are also described. The multivariate analysis confirmed the segregation of this new suballiance, as well as the new associations.

Plant Biosystems - An International Journal Dealing with all Aspects of Plant Biology

This study proposes a bioclimatic characterization and a new biogeographic division for the Antarctic territories up to the province level following the criteria and models of Rivas-Martínez et al. The Antarctic Kingdom comprises the continent of Antarctica, the surrounding ice-covered Antarctic islands, and the associated cold oceanic islands and archipelagos. It has two biogeographic regions: the Antarctic Region and the Subantarctic Insular Region. The Antarctic Region includes the entire pergelid Antarctic continent and the surrounding islands and archipelagos, and is characterized by upper suprapolar hyperoceanic and oceanic or Polar pergelid bioclimates on the coasts. The region has been divided into three pr6ovinces: Maritime Antarctica, West Antarctica and East Antarctica. The Subantarctic Insular Region comprises the circumantarctic islands and archipelagos that are widespread at the southern tip of the planet’s most important oceans, mostly in the subtemperate latitudinal zone inside or not far from the Antarctic Convergence. Bioclimatically, all insular subantarctic territories (excluding the South-American Tierra de Fuego, Terra Magellanica and large islands) are characterized by thermo-suprapolar and semipolar antarctic hyperoceanic bioclimates on the coasts. Four provinces – Falklandian-South Georgian, Kerguelenian, Macquarian and Aucklandian-Campbellian – have been recognized in this region. All these units are characterized by floristic bioindicators.

According to criteria and proposals of S. Rivas-Martínez, S. Rivas-Sáenz and A. Penas (Glob Geobot 1(1):1–634, 2011a) with which they established a world bioclimatic classification system, two macrobioclimates (Temperate and Mediterranean), eight bioclimates (temperate hyperoceanic, temperate oceanic, temperate xeric, mediterranean pluviseasonal-oceanic, mediterranean pluviseasonal-continental, mediterranean xeric-oceanic and mediterranean desertic-oceanic), two bioclimatic variants (steppic and submediterranean), 11 thermotypes (thermotemperate, mesotemperate, supratemperate, orotemperate, cryorotemperate, inframediterraean, thermomediterranean, mesomediterranean, supramediterranean, oromediterranean and cryoromediterraean) and seven ombrotypes (arid, semiarid, dry, subhumid, humid, hyperhumid and ultrahyperhumid) are recognized in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. In addition to this, six types of continentality (euhyperoceanic, subhyperoceanic, semihyperoceanic, euoceanic, semicontinental and subcontinental) are also recognized. Furthermore, relationships between potential natural vegetation (sigmeta, geosigmeta, permasigmata, minorisigmeta and geopermasigmeta) and the bioclimatic units existing in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands are set.

... Se aprecia una notable evolución, desde las primeras aproximaciones publicadas, en las que no son muchas las variables empleadas, hasta la complejidad de sus últimos trabajos en los que se incorporan numerosos factores climáticos determinantes para la vegetación (Izco, 2021). Efectivamente, en la obra por excelencia que recoge el nuevo sistema de clasificación bioclimática de la Tierra , así como en sus últimas actualizaciones (Rivas-Martínez et al., 2017a;Rivas-Martínez et al., 2021), son un total de 25 (entre parámetros e índices bioclimáticos), los que con mayor frecuencia se utilizan para realizar diagnosis bioclimáticas.

... Juniperus badia (H. Gay) Rivas Mart., Molero Mesa, Marfil & G. Benítez is a drought-tolerant species (Willson et al., 2008;Jovellar et al., 2013) restricted to Spain, Portugal and north Africa on both acid and basic hard substrates (Amaral-Franco, 1986;Rivas-Martínez et al., 2020;Cano-Ortiz et al., 2021;Gutiérrez-Larruscain et al., 2024). The forest formations that this species structures in central Iberia have been considered permanent communities with a marked edaphoxerophilous character, which is imposed by the rocky substrate caused by soil loss (Sánchez-Mata, 1999;Cano et al., 2007Cano et al., , 2019 Cano et al. 2019(Sánchez-Mata, 1989, 1999Rivas-Martínez et al., 2011;Cano et al., 2019;López-Sáez, 2023); and, ii) the mesomediterranean formations of Montes de Toledo and Sierra de San Vicente mountain areas (Talavera district, Oretana Range and Tajo sector, Lusitania and Extremadura subprovince, West Iberian Mediterranean province), corresponding to the association Pistacio terebinthi-Juniperetum badiae Cano et al. 2007nom. ...

... As a basis for the diversity of the class Festucetea indigestae, the syntaxonomical proposal by Rivas-Martínez et al. (2001) and Rivas-Martínez (2002) was followed, which was adapted with subsequent corrections in nomenclature terms. This proposal has been extended with new associations: Armerio ciliatae-Festucetum summilusitanae (Teesdaliopsio-Luzulion caespitosae) (Pulgar & Izco 2007), Diantho langeani-Festucetum summilusitanae Monteiro-Henriques et al. in J.C. Costa et al. 2012 andMinuartio juressi-Festucetum summilusitanae (Meireles et al. in J.C. Costa et al. 2012), both of the alliance Hieracio castellani-Plantaginion radicatae and Festucetum actiophytae (Saginion merinoi) (Izco & Rivas-Martínez, 2018). The analysis did not include either the association Arenario querioidis-Sedetum brevifolii Honrado et al. in J.C. Costa et al. (2012), based on a single inventory and a poor floristic definition, or the alliance Festucion duriotaganae, proposed by Capelo et al. (1998). ...

... In Europe, the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands have been classified as "hotspots for climate change", as they are areas sensitive to its impacts [10]. The complex orography and the influence of various air and water masses generate a high climatic diversity in the Iberian Peninsula, giving rise to numerous plant communities, some of which are endemic [11,12]. For their part, the Balearic Islands, due to their insular nature and variety of microclimates, also possess great taxonomic and phylogenetic biodiversity, highlighting their mountainous regions [13,14]. ...

... On the other hand, seasonality effects on parasitoid communities have been poorly studied, and there is little information on the interaction of such factor with local or landscape parameters and its influence on community turnover (but see Alignier et al. 2014;de Paz et al. 2023ade Paz et al. , 2022Haas-Renninger et al. 2024;Möller et al. 2020). However, seasonality has been shown to be particularly important in Mediterranean studies, where ecosystems undergo dramatic changes over time and the availability of floral resources and hosts changes rapidly throughout the season (Rivas-Martínez et al. 2017;Rosas-Ramos et al. 2022;Stamou et al. 2004). ...

According to phytosociological and symphytosociological models of vegetation succession, a secondary forest undergoes tree replacement and upward plant dynamics towards a climax stage within the vegetation series. This concept is supported by Cano-Ortiz et al. (2015) [13], Rivas-Martínez et al.
