Protected areas are recognized as a crucial tool to mitigate ongoing trends of biodiversity loss. The effect different levels protection and their subsequent conservation efficiency remains, however, largely unexplored. To fill this gap, we present here an integrated approach that combines taxonomic analysis based on typical species evaluate habitat quality functional plant traits define structure functions. We focused shrubland habitats across in two biogeographical areas. found does not...
Habitat monitoring in Europe is regulated by Article 17 of the Habitats Directive, which suggests use typical species to habitat conservation status. Yet, Directive uses term “typical” but does not provide a definition, either for its reporting or impact assessments. To address issue, an online workshop was organized Italian Society Vegetation Science (SISV) shed light on diversity perspectives regarding different concepts species, and discuss possible implications habitat...

The ‘Habitats’ Directive (HD 92/43/EEC) is one of the primary legal tools aiming at conserving nature in Europe. Due to complex iter revise it, habitats listed Annex I have been seldom updated after HD adoption. Basing on already available information and expert knowledge, this paper presents a preliminary list relevant occurring Sardinia, not yet considered worth be placed I. Two new habitat proposals, for Italy, nine subtypes existing are here described. Most proposed limited distribution...

We present the dataset “SArdinian GRAsslands” (SAGRA), a collection of georeferenced vegetation surveys sourced from different areas Sardinia (Italy). SAGRA addresses geographic gap in current databases, as plots Sardinian grasslands are underrepresented. collected data projects and organized it within framework that allows for scalability to larger scales or integration into existing databases. The include three categories information: general, management, environmental. Overall, comprises...
Abstract Aims Mediterranean grasslands are semi‐natural ecosystems that have been affected by land‐use intensification and abandonment during the past decades. Adaptative multi‐paddock grazing regimes, where alternates with long periods of vegetation recovery, proposed as a more biodiversity‐friendly management compared continuous grazing. This study aimed to compare effect these two different regimes on set plant traits in mediterranean grassland over time. Location Central part Sardinia...

Within a practical course of cytotaxonomy organized in Pisa (Italy) on February 2024 by the Group for Floristics, Systematics and Evolution Italian Botanical Society, we tested whether using image analysis softwares possible biases are still introduced different observers. We conclude that observer bias selectively applies possibly overestimating length short arms karyotype. As consequence, parameters most sensitive to these errors CV CI CL , less degree M CA THL. To achieve more stable...
Within a practical course of cytotaxonomy organized in Pisa (Italy) on February 2024 by the Group for Floristics, Systematics and Evolution Italian Botanical Society, we tested whether relevant differences karyotype asymmetry structure occur four tetraploid European taxa from Paeonia sect.

Our results point towards homogeneous among studied species, with no statistically significant difference high overlap variation...
