Actions managed in E.E.N.N.P.P. for the Artales Recovery Plan in Andalusia

One of the most prominent plant formations within the arid Mediterranean area of eastern Andalusia are the so-called artnals, characterised by the threatened flora species Maytenus senegalensis subsp. europaea and Ziziphus lotus, which due to special adaptation mechanisms are able to survive in very extreme conditions, characteristic that gives them a high ecological value. This work determines the area of distribution of the artos, estimating the number of individuals and densities of these species in our community, thus promoting the knowledge of these formations as a conservation measure.
