New localities of the subendemic species Berberis croatica, Teucrium arduini and Micromeria croatica in the Dinaric Alps

New localities of three subendemic species (Berberis croatica, Teucrium arduini and Micromeria croatica) have been found in the Dinaric Alps. Berberis croatica was found at ten new locations, nine of them in Croatia and one in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Teucrium arduini was found on Mt Učka, Mt Velebit, Mt Biokovo and Mt Sniježnica, at nine new locations while Micromeria croatica was found at four new locations, only on Mt Velebit

Aquatic and Wetland Vegetation Along the Sava River

Diverse hydrological, climate, and soil conditions along the Sava River caused significant diversification of vegetation. Therefore, the objective of this chapter is to integrate and present all the available data on variability of the aquatic and riparian plant communities along the Sava River and its main tributaries as well as to identify the environmental factors, which are related to the distribution of different vegetation types. Special attention has been also paid on the detection of threats for rare and endangered plant species and fragile wetland ecosystems along the Sava River. Based on data review, syntaxonomic revision of aquatic and riparian vegetation based on common, pan-European databank is required. Ecological studies that involve inventory, monitoring, modeling, and prediction of changes in populations, ecological communities, and ecosystems require both georeferenced databases and computational tools for application of statistical methods.Milačič R, Ščančar J, Paunović M, editors.

Where does Sedum cepaea L. (Crassulaceae) – one of the rarest species of Croatian flora – really grow?

The distribution of Sedum cepaea in Croatia is limited to sciophilous or slightly heliophilous forest habitats in the zone dominated by Quercus petraea, developed on acidic types of soil above siliceous bedrock.We confirm a finding spot on Moslavačka gora and describe new localities on Zrinska gora (central Croatia). Two S. cepaea populations on Nikolino brdo [hill] in Topusko disappeared a century ago
