Noves dades sobre la distribució i l’estat de conservació de la falguera «Dryopteris filix-mas» (Dryopteridaceae) a les illes Balears

A rare fern, Dryopteris filix-mas, is critically endangered in the Balearic Islands, with its only known population in Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana. This study reveals that the species survives in a single location on the island, where it is represented by just one vegetative specimen. Researchers analyzed available data on distribution, demographics, and ecology to assess its conservation status, highlighting factors contributing to its extreme rarity. The findings underscore the urgent need for targeted conservation efforts to prevent the loss of this threatened species.
