- W4206565362 abstract "Lebanon is a Mediterranean country that has a high plant diversity attributed to thousands of years of disturbances. During the 20th century, however, with more than half the population living along the Lebanese coast, one third of the coastal plant habitats were destroyed. The causes for such destruction include uncontrolled urban expansion and unregulated tourism development due to long-term political unrest, high real estate value, widespread littering, invasive species, and climate change. As a result, the persistence of Lebanese national and regional endemic coastal plant species is threatened. Examples of threatened species include national endemics such as Limonium postii , Limonium mouterdei , Matthiola crassifolia , and regional endemics such as Thymelaea hirsuta , Artemisia monosperma , and Retama raetam , Pancratium maritimum , in addition to annual species including Trifolium billardierei Spreng, Rumex occultans , Campanula sulphurea , Silene chaetodonta var. modesta , and Astragalus berytheus . Two national studies defined Important Plant Areas (IPAs) along the coast. This process however is not binding, it informs policy makers but may not lead to the conservation of defined areas. National efforts to conserve coastal plant habitats include the declaration of two coastal areas as nature reserves by the government, and the revival of the traditional Hima system of protection and its application in one coastal area by a national NGO. Additionally, research contributions have characterized floristic richness along the coast, proposed a new concept of botanic garden (ancillary botanic gardens) for ex-situ conservation, developed a tool to assess riparian habitats (RiHAT), and a new approach to identify urban green spaces that may serve as habitat analogs for plant species of conservation interest. During the 20th century, one third of the Lebanese coast was destroyed by urban expansion, tourism development, littering, invasive species, and climate change. The government of Lebanon established two coastal nature reserves, and a national NGO implemented a coastal Hima. National experts defined coastal Important Plant Areas (IPAs) to inform policy makers. Researchers characterized coastal floristic richness, proposed the establishment of ancillary botanic gardens for ex-situ conservation, developed a coastal riparian habitat assessment tool, and devised a method to identify urban green spaces that may be suitable as habitat analogs for plant species of conservation interest." @default.
