Spatial-time variability and conservation relevance of plant communities in Mediterranean temporary wet habitats: A case study in Sardinia (Italy)
This research was undertaken with the aim of improving our knowledge of the floristic composition and spatial-temporal
dynamics of plant communities in Mediterranean temporary wet habitats, and to evaluate the diversity and conservation
relevance of their plant assemblages. Three different types of temporary wet habitats were monitored throughout the
growing season: large temporary ponds (lTPs), small temporary ponds (sTPs), and rock pools (RPs). lTPs presented a
small-scale zonation arranged in an inner, an intermediate, and a peripheral belt. A total of 98 species were recorded, of
which 40 were classified as temporary wet habitat (TWH) specialists and 24 as rare. Eight different groups of plant
assemblages were identified presenting space–time dynamics related to water-depth variations and flooding period. In terms
of diversity, the most relevant assemblages were located in the outer belt of the lTPs and in the sTPs. The mosaic of
different assemblages and their time-variability determined the presence of several types of habitats of community interest
according to the Habitat Directive. This wide heterogeneity should be taken into account to ensure that all types of TWHs
are considered in conservation programmes
