Title: OUR FLORA AND FAUNA


1
OUR FLORA AND FAUNA
  • IES SA COLOMINA, IBIZA

2
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.
