Resumo(s)
The littoral geomorphology of the
Porto Santo Island is of paramount
importance in the coastal phytocoenosis
assemblage: the southern part of the
island has an 8 km long sand beach with
littoral sandstone platforms in its eastern
extreme; sandstone or volcanic (mostly
trachits) sea cliffs predominate in the rest
of the island; in the northern part of the
island, near the airport, there is an
elevated dune (more than 150 m above
sea level), related to an ancient island tilt.
In the Porto Santo' s beach and cliff
ecosystems, we found four new
associations. All of them are finicolous
associations in the context of their
alliances, with low floristic diversity and
presided by small area endemics.
