Species richness is a fundamental property of biodiversity patterns and properly expressed by the species–area relationship (SAR), namely increase in number species with area. Here, we studied explored respect to vascular plant Italy compared among Italian administrative regions. Concerning entire flora (native alien), best-performing formula Arrhenius’ Power function: S = c Az. The constants this function are 241.2 z 0.281. concerning just native (c 245.2 0.263) alien 10.1 0.404) as well....

The online platform "Wikiplantbase #Toscana" provides a framework where the full set of georeferenced floristic records Tuscany (central Italy) can be entered, stored, updated and freely accessed through Internet. As 5 January 2015, database stores 67,360 records, referable to 3578 accepted specific subspecific taxa. Most are based on published data (80.6% total), then by herbarium specimens (15.1%) unpublished field (3.8%); account only for 0.5% stored data. At present, most represented...
A comprehensive checklist of the Tuscan woody flora providing sub-regional details is presented. This comprises 412 taxa, which 264 are native and 148 non-native. Nine taxa new for region were found, eleven excluded from regional flora. The belong to 109 genera 53 families. Rosaceae family richest in with Rosa being genus highest number species. On provincial level, province Grosseto followed by provinces Lucca Florence. lowest was documented Pistoia Prato. With regard non-native flora, can...

Insufficient attention has been devoted to inter-population and inter-individual variability of CSR strategy. Hence, we selected Bellevalia webbiana as a case study for answering the following questions: (1) is there significant intraspecific in leaf traits determining parameters, even narrow endemic species with relatively homogeneous habitat? (2) If yes, does this provide strategy variation? For five populations, calculated C, S, R parameters using area, fresh weight, dry weight 10...

Biodiversity studies traditionally use species as their analysis unit. However, observed biodiversity is not necessarily an indicator of significant and therefore, should be used alone, particularly when the results will employed for conservation planning. Here, we examine pteridophyte diversity in Tuscany using 4668 geo-referenced records stored Wikiplantbase #Toscana calculating standard richness measures phylogenetic indices; addition, assessed environmental predictors each metric....

The herbarium digitization process is an essential first step in transforming the vast amount of data associated with a physical specimen into flexible digital formats. In this framework, Herbarium University Pisa (international code PI), at end 2018 started focusing on one its most relevant collections: Michele Guadagno (1878–1930). This scholar studied flora and vegetation different areas southern Italy, building large including specimens collected by himself, plus many obtained through...
