Forest Orchidaceae are important for European temperate forests, yet their distribution and abundance have so far interested limited research. In three pure or mixed silver fir stands in the Foreste Casentinesi National Park (NP) (Northern Apennines, Italy) we analysed how structural traits mature old-growth forests affected orchid communities terms of main genera, trophic strategy rarity NP. We established 20x60 m plots to quantify structure living dead tree communities, including a set...

Orchidaceae is one of the largest and most diverse families flowering plants in world but also threatened. Climate change a global driver plant distribution may be cause their disappearance some regions. Forest orchids are associated with specific biotic abiotic environmental factors, that influence local presence/absence. Changes these conditions can lead to significant differences species distribution. We studied three forest belonging different genera (Cephalanthera, Epipactis Limodorum)...

Soil erosion and hydrogeological risk are critical phenomena gaining increased recognition within the scientific community. Although these occurrences naturally occurring, human activities can exacerbate their impacts. For example, deforestation consistently amplifies soil erosion. This study examines two distinct forest management strategies aimed at addressing erosion: Banded Standards Method (BSM) Scattered (SSM). We conducted a field experiment in test areas located central Italy, with...
