Island Flora Research and Conservation
About Program
The island flora team gathers and analyses data on eastern Aegean vegetation, including rare plant species. By collecting and analysing data on plant diversity throughout the year as well as threats to Aegean island plant life, Archipelagos will be able to design and implement effective flora conservation strategies. Project activities include:
• Monitoring vegetation species on Samos, Ikaria and the north Dodecanese islands and islets by gathering habitat information using transect surveys
• Completing database indicating distinct habitats as well as common vegetation species at specific transects
• Collecting data on rare flora using transect surveys
• Completing database indicating abundance and locations of alpine and coastal rare flora species
