As there is an urgent need to protect rapidly declining global diversity, it important identify methods quickly estimate the diversity and heterogeneity of a region effectively implement monitoring conservation plans. The combination remotely sensed field-collected data, under paradigm Spectral Variation Hypothesis (SVH), represents one most promising approaches boost large-scale reliable biodiversity practices. Here, potential SVH capture information on plant at fine scale in ecological...
In this contribution, new data concerning the distribution of vascular flora alien to Italy are presented. It includes records, confirmations, exclusions, and status changes for or Italian administrative regions. Nomenclatural updates published elsewhere provided as Suppl. material 1.
Biological invasions are deemed to be the second most important global driver of biodiversity loss, right behind habitat destruction and fragmentation. In this study, we aimed at testing if community invasibility, defined as vulnerability invasion a community, could associated with characteristics given habitat, described by composition structure its native species. Based on probabilistic sampling alien flora occurring in temperate wetland Lake Doberdò (Friuli Venezia Giulia region, NE...
The Japanese Rose (Rosa rugosa) is a perennial shrub belonging to the family Rosaceae. It was introduced in Europe from East Asia as an ornamental plant XIX century and now considered invasive species, especially northern Europe, colonising Atlantic Baltic coastal dune habitats threatening local biodiversity. However, little known about its presence invasion patterns Mediterranean area. In Italy, R. rugosa has been classified naturalised just few observations have recorded North Adriatic...
In intensively used and human-modified landscapes, biodiversity is often confined to remnants of natural habitats. Thus, identifying ecological networks (ENs) necessary connect these patches maintain high levels biodiversity, not only for conservation but also the effective management landscape, required. However, ENs are defined without a clear a-priori evaluation their seldom even monitored after establishment. The objective this study was determine adequate number replicates effectively...
