Abstract Trait‐based ecology has already revealed main independent axes of trait variation defining spaces that summarize plant adaptive strategies, but often ignoring intraspecific variability (ITV). By using empirical ITV‐level data for two dimensions leaf form and function 167 species across five habitat types (coastal dunes, forests, grasslands, heathlands, wetlands) in the Italian peninsula, we found ITV: (i) rotated define space; (ii) increased variance explained by these (iii)...
Abstract Aim Species–area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas, power best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes at finer spatial grains continuous vegetation. We asked which function describes small and explored how sampling methodology or the environment influence SAR shape. Location Palaearctic grasslands non‐forested habitats. Taxa Vascular plants, bryophytes lichens....
Abstract Increasing urbanization worldwide calls for more sustainable urban development. Simultaneously, the global biodiversity crisis accentuates need of fostering within cities. Policies supporting nature conservation to understand people's acceptance biodiversity‐friendly greenspace management. We surveyed than 2,000 people in 19 European cities about their attitudes toward near‐natural grassland management public greenspaces, and related responses nine sociocultural parameters. Results...
Abstract Aims Understanding fine‐grain diversity patterns across large spatial extents is fundamental for macroecological research and biodiversity conservation. Using the GrassPlot database, we provide benchmarks of richness values Palaearctic open habitats vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens complete vegetation (i.e., sum former three groups). Location biogeographic realm. Methods We used 126,524 plots eight standard grain sizes from database: 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 1,000 m...
These days, when December is unusually mild outside, I do not exclude the possibility that for some of you field season still continuing, but most it already over.However, this a reason to sleep in warm hole, as cute animal depicted on cover issue.This time managing data -samplings, collections, photographs.Moreover, very good take stock outgoing year and make plans next year.2019 was full events EDGG.One such event Eurasian Grassland Conference (EGC), organized jointly by our members from...
Summary The inventory of microorganisms responsible for biological deterioration ancient paintings has become an integral part restoration activities. Here, the microbial agent rosy discoloration on medieval frescoes in Crypt Original Sin (Matera, Italy) was investigated by a combination microscopic, molecular and spectroscopic approaches. bacterial community from three rosy‐discoloured painting sites characterized 16S rRNA gene‐based techniques. eubacterial population prevalently composed...
Abstract Questions Which environmental factors influence fine‐grain beta diversity of vegetation and do they vary among taxonomic groups? Location Palaearctic biogeographic realm. Methods We extracted 4,654 nested‐plot series with at least four different grain sizes between 0.0001 m² 1,024 from the GrassPlot database, covering a wide range grassland other open habitat types. derived extensive structural information for these series. For each groups (vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens,...
Grasslands are widespread elements of urban greenspace providing recreational, psychological and aesthetic benefits to city residents. Two grassland types contrasting management dominate greenspaces: frequently mown, species-poor short-cut lawns less intensively managed, near-natural tall-grass meadows. The higher conservation value meadows makes interventions such as converting into a promising tool for biodiversity conservation. societal success interventions, however, depends on...
Dear members of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group, We present you new issue EDGG Bulletin, in which will find detailed announcements two annual events our group -the Conference, be held Sulmona (Italy) from 4 to 8 June and Field Workshop inneralpine dry valleys, Austria 6 13 July. hope that they attract your attention a place for them upcoming field season. Additionally, can report last Workshop, took Italy, with photo diary. You learn about project on grassland management
In this contribution, new data concerning the distribution of native vascular flora in Italy are presented. It includes records, confirmations and status changes to Italian administrative regions for taxa genera Acer , Alchemilla Andrachne Bromus Clinopodium Colchicum Damasonium Erodium Festuca Hieracium Hyparrhenia Ipomoea Linaria Lolium Narcissus Ranunculus Sisymbrium Stipa Valerianella Vicia Zannichellia . New combinations genus Ziziphora ( Z.sardoa Z.corsica ) subspecies Ulmusminor...
In the Mediterranean region, majority of watercourses have undergone hydrogeomorphic alterations, mainly due to flow regulation such as damming. Despite this, few investigations analyzing dam impact on upstream river vegetation exist. this study, we analyzed temporal changes occurring along Tiber River in Nazzano (Rome), a consequence construction 1956. We examined which communities are more sensitive anthropic alteration ecosystem. An evaluation how and with what timing these varied their...
Defining and understanding the long-term social ecological evolution of rural cultural landscapes can provide insights into complex dynamics landscape environment changes. Land cover changes (LCCs) in Mediterranean-type ecosystems are mainly due to human-induced transformations. Multi-scale spatial analysis useful information interpretation LCCs data contribute identifying underlying drivers change. In present study, we analyze eight diachronic land maps perform statistical assessments human...
In this contribution, new data concerning the distribution of vascular flora alien to Italy are presented. It includes records, and confirmations for or Italian administrative regions taxa in genera Albizia , Anredera Bougainvillea Cardamine Cenchrus Cephalaria Ceratochloa Cytisus Datura Delosperma Euonymus Freesia Hylotelephium Lantana Musa Physalis Rotala Styphnolobium Trachycarpus Tradescantia . Nomenclature updates, published elsewhere, corrections provided as supplementary material.
Silvicultural management plays a major role in shaping understory diversity through its action on stand structure. In many parts of Europe, recent socioeconomic changes have led to the progressive abandonment coppicing favor high forest (HF) management. order examine how this change impacts species, we compared old coppice-with-standards and HF stands terms structural features richness composition, also taking into account diagnostic species pool habitat. Since systems for coppices HFs...

Abstract Questions Semi‐natural grasslands in Southern Europe are biodiversity hotspots, yet their patterns of plant species richness less studied than Central Europe. In the Apennines (Italy), there large areas dry calcareous grasslands, across a steep gradient mean annual precipitation (from 650 to 1350 mm within c. 30 km). We asked: How do these compare other Palaearctic levels? and environmental predictors influence richness? Does this differ among taxonomic groups? Location Submontane...
