Demographic viability of a relict population of the critically endangered plant Borderea chouardii

Article Abstract:

An overview is presented on conservation efforts aimed at preserving Borderea chouardii, a Tertiary relict plant. Discussion addresses persistent or episodic disease, decrease or enhancement of plant recruitment, and population reduction. The impact of the plant's long life span versus its slow recovery capacity on conservation efforts is also examined.

Article Abstract:

A rotational grassland conservation management program is recommended to prevent further loss of steppe-like grasslands in the Transylvanian region of Romania. The program would maintain different seral stages and prevent succession to Pinus and mature forest.
