گیاهان با تقاضای پایین آب برای محوطه سازی و کشت کشاورزی: بررسی با توجه به گونه های محلی اپیروس/یونان و آپولیا/ایتالیا

Italy and Greece host a rich diversity of vascular plants. Among local plants some are more resistant to drought than others, a characteristic associated with their genetic structure. An extensive literature review regarding drought resistant local plants of SE Italy and NW Greece that can be used in the framework of agricultural cultivations and landscaping, is presented in this paper. As a result, classification tables containing 47 representative species of local flora fully adapted to xerothermic conditions and 9 species of xerothermic distinguished for their good probability to present low-water demands and yet profitable options for growers, have been created.
