	Biodiversity Hotspots - Succulent Karoo - Overview (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Succulent Karoo of South Africa and Namibia boasts the richest succulent flora on earth, as well as remarkable endemism in plants, with 69 percent as endemics.
		The Succulent Karoo, which consists primarily of winter rainfall desert, is one of only two hotspots that are entirely arid (the other is the newly recognized Horn of Africa).
		Stem succulents are also found here (around 140 species), as are seasonal bulbs and annuals that display magnificent spring blooms in the open spaces between the shrubs, particularly during the spring in the Namaqualand.

	Succulent plant Summary
		The general characteristic of plants that have evolved succulence is the presence of large parenchyma cells in leaves or stems (and occasionally in roots) that serve the purpose of water storage.
		Succulent plants, or succulents, are plants that store water in their enlarged fleshy leaves, stems, or roots.
		Succulence is a feature due to convergent evolution and is not necessarily an indication of genetic relationship.

	What is a succulent? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This describes the concept well, a succulent is a plant of which one or more of its organs (leaves, stem, roots) has developed the capability to store water.
		More precisely, a succulent can be defined as a plant that stores water in its tissues as a mechanism to survive periods of drought in the growing phase as well as the dormant phase (and not only in the dormant phase, like cormous and bulbous plants, which are not classified as succulents).
		This unique quality is the factor which stimulate the world-wide interest in succulents, firstly because this adaption resulted in fascinating and at times even bizarre growth forms, secondly because it makes it possible to transplant (and transport) even mature plants fairly easily.

		Succulents may be described as plants which are adapted to store water in their leaves, branches or stem bases in order to be able to survive long periods without water.
		The South African Aloe and Succulent Society was founded in 1963 when a few succulent enthusiasts realised that Southern Africa's succulent richness and the wide interest in the plants necessitated a society having as its aims the conservation of these plants and the making available of both information on succulents and the plants themselves.

	Definition of a Succulent
		The authors recognized a subcategory of xerophytic succulents, which excludes halophytic succulents (salt-tolerant plants that often grow in saline wetlands) and most geophytes (plants with their perennating organs below ground, e.g., potato, Jatropha macrorhiza, and most plants that are colloquially called "bulbs" in horticulture).
		The succulent tissues of halophytes and of most geophytes serve functions other than to support growth when soil moisture is unavailable.
		The growthform of tescalama (desert rock fig, Ficus petiolaris palmeri) is intermediate between a woody tree and a stem succulent.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Succulent Karoo (AT1322)
		The Succulent Karoo ecoregion has been called the world’s most extraordinary desert, a designation that has earned it a place as the world’s only biodiversity "hotspot" that is entirely arid.
		If you were to cross the Succulent Karoo in late winter or in spring, you would find yourself in the middle of a desert painted with shades of magenta, indigo, and yellow.
		As overgrazing, mining, and the illegal harvesting of succulents for horticulture threaten the region, endemic plants are quickly becoming endangered.

	Ecosystem Profile: Succulent Karoo
		The rich biodiversity of the Succulent Karoo hotspot is due to an extensive and complex array of habitat types derived from topographical and climatic diversity in the region's rugged mountains, semi-arid shrublands and coastal dunes.
		However, to ensure that the Succulent Karoo is conserved and that the SKEP 20-year vision and targets are achieved, it is important to focus the initial CEPF investment on areas and actions that will catalyze the greatest impact now and in the long term.
		The Succulent Karoo is one of the biological wonders of the world, with unrivaled levels of diversity and endemism for an arid area.
