1° International Meeting on the Amphi-Adriatic Flora and Vegetation
The Italian and the Balkan Peninsulas are two of the most important centres of plant diversity in the whole Europe.
Due to similar paleogeographic and paleoclimatic vicissitudes these two mountainous systems provided many sites that worked as refugia for the thermophilous flora and vegetation during the Quaternary glaciations.
For this reason, the Balkans and the Apennines exhibit a high rate of endemic plants and share a large number of amphi-Adriatic or trans-Adriatic taxa and syntaxa.
