On the presence of Cryphaea lamyana, Rhynchostegium alopecuroides and Dyalitrichia mucronata in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula.

Key Points

The observation highlights localities rich in oceanic species, particularly in southern Iberia.
Key findings include the presence of Cryphaea lamyana and other moss species in unique habitats.
Analysis focuses on areas in the Mediterranean Iberia, particularly those linked to the Atlantic domain.
The findings suggest significant biodiversity challenges in the Iberian Peninsula's unique ecosystems.

Abstract

In the north of the Iberian Peninsula, there are extensiveáreas where the atlantic element is well represented. Theseáreas correspond mainly to the coast and surroundingsfrom western Pyrenees to northern Portugal, and arecomprised in the atlantic domain sensu Dupont (1962).Nevertheless, in the Mediterranean Iberia there aredisjunct localities rich in oceanic and even hyperatlanticspecies. The most relevant are found in the S.W. of Portugal and Campo de Gibraltar at the extreme south of Spain.
