Editorial on the Research Topic Overcoming the Global Climate Crisis: Solutions to Minimize the Loss of Mediterranean Plants
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Mediterranean-climate regions are home to significant levels of plant diversity and endemism that are challenged by the threats of the modern world: habitat loss and fragmentation, high human population growth, and overexploitation of natural resources. Because of the fast rate of changes occurring in its ecosystems, many plants are threatened, and the trend is to worsen throughout the century (Muñoz-Rodríguez et al., 2016; Habel et al., 2019; Abeli et al., 2021). By 2100, this area will experience the highest biodiversity loss of all terrestrial biomes (Sala et al., 2000). In this context, and with the Damocles sword of climate change, it is urgent to explore new perspectives to prevent and reduce the loss of Mediterranean plants
