First occurrence for the following species was recorded: Helleborus dumetorum from the Cserhát Hills, Lunaria annua from the Mátra Mts. and Dryopteris affinis from the Bükk Mts. Ranunculus aquatilis was found again in the Bükk Mts., where it had been collected more than 100 years ago, and Rubus saxatilis was found for the fourth time in the Zemplén Mts. © 2023 Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Debrecen.

AB - Microrefugia are often located within topographically complex regions where stable environmental conditions prevail. Most of the studies concerning the distributions of climate change-sensitive species have emphasized the dominance of cold air pooling over other environmental factors, such as resource availability. There is a shortage of information on the relationships among topography-related microsite diversity, microclimate, resource availability, and species composition in microrefugia. To fill this knowledge gap, we studied the effects of microclimatic conditions and soil resources on plant species occurrence within and adjacent to 30 large topographic depressions (i.e., dolines) in two distant karst regions. Our results showed that both microclimate and soil resource availability may play a key role in maintaining climate change-sensitive species and biodiversity in dolines; therefore, they may simultaneously act as climate and resource microrefugia. Establishing climate-smart conservation priorities and strategies is required to maintain or increase the refugial capacity of such safe havens.

The relatively low temperature tolerance measured in default state (non energised thylakoids at full turgor) in the samples was inadequate to survive the thermal conditions of the original habitat. This was also manifested in the temperature sensitivity of optimal quantum yield (Fv/Fm) measured in dark-adapted state. The temperature dependence of the steady-state level of fluorescence, measured in light-adapted state, indicated a moderate decrease in heat sensitivity of PS II which was further enhanced by moderate water deficit. Moreover, a considerable water loss extremely increased the thermal stability of PS II in both dark and light-adapted states. Temperature dependence of the different quenching parameters suggests that in light-adapted state, the secondary effects of low lumen pH may protect against both temperature stress and water loss: i.e., it is likely that protection against the effects of light, temperature, and water deficit can be partly based on common bases. At very high temperatures the thermal damage of the oxygen-evolving complex is unlikely to be avoided, however, under continuous actinic light, the variable fluorescence (Fm’-Fs=AF) was partially recovered even above the critical temperature values of the Fs-T curves. This indicates the partial restoration of the electron donation of the PS II reaction centres by alternative electron donors. These changes in heat tolerance play a significant role to tolerate the effects of daily changing of the ecological factors in the habitat and it has a pronounced ecological significance and partly explains the survival of the examined crusts even under extreme semi-desert conditions.

Using the GrassPlot database, we provide benchmarks of fine-grain richness values of Palaearctic open habitats for vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens and complete vegetation (i.e., the sum of the former three groups). Location Palaearctic biogeographic realm. Methods We used 126,524 plots of eight standard grain sizes from the GrassPlot database: 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 and 1,000 m(2) and calculated the mean richness and standard deviations, as well as maximum, minimum, median, and first and third quartiles for each combination of grain size, taxonomic group, biome, region, vegetation type and phytosociological class. Results Patterns of plant diversity in vegetation types and biomes differ across grain sizes and taxonomic groups. Overall, secondary (mostly semi-natural) grasslands and natural grasslands are the richest vegetation type. The open-access file "GrassPlot Diversity Benchmarks" and the web tool "GrassPlot Diversity Explorer" are now available online () and provide more insights into species richness patterns in the Palaearctic open habitats. Conclusions The GrassPlot Diversity Benchmarks provide high-quality data on species richness in open habitat types across the Palaearctic. These benchmark data can be used in vegetation ecology, macroecology, biodiversity conservation and data quality checking. While the amount of data in the underlying GrassPlot database and their spatial coverage are smaller than in other extensive vegetation-plot databases, species recordings in GrassPlot are on average more complete, making it a valuable complementary data source in macroecology.
