Juniperus Phoenicea Ssp. Turbinata - Version 2015.2. Farjon, A. In The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, pages 16349692/0+. 2013.
abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] Juniperus phoenicea subsp. turbinata is widespread but scattered, and limited to the coast of the Mediterranean, where it often occurs in or close to urbanized coastal strips, where much of the habitat has been destroyed irreversibly. Rates of decline are not known, and it is uncertain if it has stopped, but it has probably slowed down. The area of occupancy is very likely small, and certainly under 2,000 km$^2$ so it would qualify for Vulnerable if decline was continuing. It is therefore assessed as Near Threatened until more information is available as it almost qualifies for a threatened listing under criterion B2ab(iii,v). [::Range Description] Mediterranean: France (Corsica and mainland coast), Greece, Italy (Sardinia, Sicily), Morocco, Portugal (Algarve, Estremadura), Spain (Baleares and mainland coast), Tunisia. The area of occupancy is estimated to less than 2,000 km2 and the subpopualtions are severely fragmented. [::Countries] Native: France (Corsica); Greece; Italy (Sardegna, Sicilia); Morocco; Portugal (Portugal (mainland)); Spain (Baleares, Spain (mainland)); Tunisia [::Population] Although widely distributed along the coasts of the Mediterranean, subpopulations are scattered and usually small. The overall population trend is unknown. [::Habitat and Ecology] This subspecies is restricted to littoral maritime habitats, on rocks or sand dunes. [::Use and Trade] There are no recorded uses of this subspecies. [::Major Threat(s)] The habitat of this subspecies is under threat from development, especially in coastal regions where there is extensive build-up for tourism, such as in southern Spain. This has undoubtedly led to a decline of subpopulations, although no rates are known as the loss has usually not been recorded. It is thought that although this loss of habitat is irreversible, the rate of building and laying out of golf courses, etc. has slowed down. This could mean that the decline has also slowed down or more or less stopped, but due to the widely distributed nature of localities, no overall view is available.
