Plants are key elements of wetlands due to their evolutionary strategies for coping with life in a water-saturated environment, providing the basis for supporting nearly all wetland biota and habitat structure for other taxonomic groups. Sardinia, the second largest island of the Mediterranean Basin, hosts a great variety of wetlands, of which 16 are included in eight Ramsar sites. The 119 hydro- and hygrophilous vascular plant taxa from Sardinia represent the 42.6% and 37.9% of the number estimated for Italy and Europe, respectively. Moreover, around 30% of Sardinia’s bryological flora, which is made up of 498 taxa, is present in temporary ponds. An overview at regional scale considering algae is not available, to our knowledge, even though several specific studies have contributed to their knowledge. In order to find the most investigated research themes and wetland types, identify knowledge gaps and suggest recommendations for further research, we present a first attempt to outline the work that has been hitherto done on plants in lentic habitats in Sardinia. Three plant groups (algae, bryophytes and vascular plants), and five research themes (conservation, ecology, inventory, palaeobotany and taxonomy) were considered. After a literature review, we retained 202 papers published from 1960 to 2019. We found that studies on vascular plants, as plant group, were disproportionately more numerous, and inventories and ecology were the most investigated research themes. Although efforts have recently been made to fill these long-lasting gaps, there is a need for updating the existing information through innovative methods and integrative approaches.

植物是湿地的关键元素，因为它们在水饱和环境中应对生命的进化策略，为支持几乎所有湿地生物群和其他分类群的栖息地结构提供了基础。撒丁岛是地中海盆地的第二大岛，拥有种类繁多的湿地，其中 16 个位于八个拉姆萨尔湿地。来自撒丁岛的 119 种水生和吸湿维管植物类群分别占意大利和欧洲估计数量的 42.6% 和 37.9%。此外，撒丁岛由 498 个分类群组成的大约 30% 的苔藓植物群存在于临时池塘中。据我们所知，没有考虑到藻类的区域范围的概述，尽管一些具体的研究已经为他们的知识做出了贡献。为了找到研究最多的研究主题和湿地类型，确定知识差距并提出进一步研究的建议，我们首次尝试概述迄今为止对撒丁岛静水栖息地植物所做的工作。考虑了三个植物群（藻类、苔藓植物和维管植物）和五个研究主题（保护、生态、库存、古植物学和分类学）。在查阅文献后，我们保留了 1960 年至 2019 年发表的 202 篇论文。我们发现维管植物作为植物群的研究不成比例地更多，清单和生态学是研究最多的研究主题。尽管最近已努力填补这些长期存在的空白，但仍需要通过创新方法和综合方法更新现有信息。
