FLORA AND FAUNA

• In this power point we will deal with the flora
  and fauna of Ibiza, the island where we live. As
  it is an island, Ibiza has a different
  biodiversity from Spain.

OUR FLORA

• The diversity of the flora in Ibiza is due to the
  weather and the number of species (there are more
  than 1000). All the plants are adapted to the
  Mediterranean weather whose characteristics are
  mild temperature, drought, rain only in sprint
  and autumn and coincidence between the dry season
  and the warm season, that is the reason why our
  plants have to bear a strong drought.
• The main adaptations of the plants to bear the
  drought are
• They have small, hard leaves sometimes they are
  curved to avoid the loss of water.
• The roots are really long.

4
Pinus halepensis

• The pine tree is the most characteristic species
  in our landscape, that is why our island (Eivissa
  and Formentera) are cold Pine Islands.

5
Juniperus phoenicea i Pistacea lentiscus

• Other plants we can see in our forests are for
  example, Phoenicean Juniper (image above) and
  the Pistacea (image below).

Posidonea oceanica

• The Posidonia oceanica (The Mediterranean
  Posidonia). An aquatic plant that leaves rooted
  in the marine depths, up to 40 metres below,
  forming authentic prairies. It forms a net of
  rhizomes covered by fibres, which are very slow
  growing and are found beneath the marine
  sediment. From these rhizomes emerge sheaths of
  long leaves, up to 50 cm in length, with parallel
  margins and rounded apex. The leaves are often
  covered with small invertebrates and epiphytic
  algae. The flowers are hard to see, as they are
  made up of small spicules situated upon a large
  peduncle. When they fructify, the resulting berry
  resembles an olive, which can be found along the
  beach surf line, along with remnants of leaves,
  rhizomes and fibrous balls from this plant.
