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 archaeological sites, plants can be a risk for monument conservation. However, in these refugium plant biodiversity is often detected, such as the UNESCO site Etruscan necropolis of “Monterozzi” Tarquinia, which still holds Special Protection Area bats. this site, we previously evaluated positive and negative effects vascular on conservation hypogeal tombs. To contribute assessing role sites supporting diversity interpreting its bioindication values nature conservation, analyse relevant...
This study provides pioneering research on the vegetation of archaeological areas in Iran to enhance its naturalistic and bioindication values by selecting Pasargadae World Heritage Site (WHS). Vegetation surveys were carried out different homogeneous habitats, analyzing plant communities through statistical elaboration, syntaxonomic role, mapping, enhancement plants with conservation interest. In an ecological approach, included analysis recent climate changes human interventions...
Plant colonization on archaeological structures is limited by the substrate conditions of stone surfaces. Despite its relevance for ecological studies and management plans sites, knowledge monuments (e.g., stones, microhabitats, microsites), which could be suitable sites plant establishment, an underestimated topic. Here, we aim to identify preference plants in colonizing surfaces as a first step evaluating biodeterioration risk. We selected Pasargadae World Heritage Site (WHS) variety...
Abstract Assessing the performance of spontaneous plants in abandoned quarries under future environmental scenarios is important for successful restoration practises. Air warming one most relevant ongoing climatic changes Mediterranean. We tested effects increasing temperature on germination five species spontaneously colonising sectors a Carrara marble quarry (Tuscany, central Italy). selected plant with different widths their distribution range, from local endemic to invasive alien:...
Abstract Sorghum halepense is a synanthropic tall grass distributed worldwide from tropical to temperate zones, and it often considered an invasive alien. It perennial, rhizomatous plant that tends form dense stands derived vegetative sexual propagation. Despite roadside communities dominated by are very common in southern Europe, their phytosociological aspects scarcely studied. In this work, we present the results of vegetation survey peninsular Italy, carried out means method. total, 73...
