The present study aims to discriminate four semi-arid grassland habitats in a Mediterranean Natura 2000 site, Southern Italy, involving 6210/E1.263, 62A0/E1.55, 6220/E1.434 and X/E1.61-E1.C2-E1.C4 (according Annex I of the European Habitat Directive/EUropean Nature Information System (EUNIS) taxonomies). For this purpose, an intra-annual time-series 30 Sentinel-2 images, embedding phenology information, were investigated for 2018. methodology adopted was based on two-stage workflow employing...

Abstract The 92/43/EEC Habitats Directive is the main European Union legal tool concerning nature conservation. habitat types listed in Annex I to are phytosociology-based. It widely acknowledged that phytosociological analysis a crucial approach for habitats characterization and monitoring their conservation status. Based on bibliographic investigations new field survey campaigns, list of neglected by here presented described southern Italy. In this paper, 8 13 subtypes proposed. For each...

Abstract Aims We investigated the influence of anthropogenic boundaries on semi‐natural grassland plant communities in terms of: (1) depth and magnitude edge (2) changes community composition associated with boundary attributes. Location Alta Murgia, Puglia, southeast Italy. Methods Sampling sites were selected taking into account three attributes thought to be most important study area, i.e. adjacent land use, presence/absence stone wall at patch occurrence slope. Plant surveyed along 40‐m...

The ephemeral hygrophilous vegetation occurring in the temporary ponds of Apulia (southern Italy) weres studied following phytosociological approach. On base 153 relevés carried out during period 2015-2018, 19 associations were identified, which 16 described for first time. All belong to Isoeto-Nanojuncetea class. surveyed can be arranged two orders, such as Isoetetalia, including those with a winter-spring cycle and Nanocyperetalia, regarding summertime cycle. identified association has...

European semi-natural dry grasslands are among the most endangered terrestrial ecosystems, being recognised as habitats of community interest by EU Habitats Directive. The occurrence and preservation these depend on a combination anthropogenic natural factors, although little is known regarding role past land-use changes. Here, we investigated time since cultivation abandonment major driver grassland successional dynamics in Mediterranean agro-pastoral system Alta Murgia, southern Italy. By...

Conservation translocations are becoming common conservation practice, so there is an increasing need to understand the drivers of plant translocation performance through reviews cases at global and regional levels. The establishment Italian Database Plant Translocation (IDPlanT) provides opportunity review techniques used in 186 performed last 50 years heart Mediterranean Biodiversity Hotspot. We described information available IDPlanT these data identify outcomes. tested effect 15...
Abstract Orthopterans are well known to represent the majority of insect biomass in many grassland ecosystems. However, verification a relationship between traditional descriptors orthopteran assemblage structure and plant community patterns is not straightforward. We explore usefulness concept life forms provide insights on such ecosystem level relationship. For this purpose, thirty sample sites semi-natural calcareous grasslands were classified according relative proportion dominant...
The present study focuses on the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN or ConvNet) to classify a multi-seasonal dataset Sentinel-2 images discriminate four grassland habitats in “Murgia Alta” protected site. To this end, we compared two approaches differing only by first layer machinery, which, one case, is instantiated as fully-connected and, other results ConvNet equipped with kernels covering whole input (wide-kernel ConvNet). A patchwise approach, tessellating training reference data...
