In this contribution, new data concerning the distribution of vascular flora alien to Italy are presented. It includes records, confirmations, and status changes for or Italian administrative regions taxa in genera Abies , Actinidia Aloe Amaryllis Anredera Arctotheca Bidens Cardiospermum Celosia Commelina Cotoneaster Cyclamen Eclipta Euphorbia Grevillea Hedera Hibiscus Impatiens Juglans Kalanchoe Koelreuteria Lindernia Melinis Myriophyllum Nandina Nicotiana Oenothera Oxalis Parthenocissus...
The census of the loci classici 1,227 native, non-endemic vascular plants described from Italy is here presented and described. effective place publication accepted names, basionyms homotypic synonyms were identified critically verified. geographic information on was excerpted protologues, as well typification for taxa before 1 January 1958. names without a holotype are 1,165. For 591 lecto- or neo-typification available in literature, while 572 currently still need type designation. ten...
Abstract Question Remote sensing is a fundamental tool to monitor biodiversity and spectral diversity may represent proxy for different facets such as taxonomic (TD) functional (FD). We used fine‐resolution multispectral imagery explore (SD) patterns across spatial scales (i.e., plot, transect, area), assess SD relationships with TD FD along an environmental gradient. Location Coastal sand dune, Viareggio, Italy (“Migliarino–San Rossore–Massaciuccoli” Regional Park, 43°83′ N, 10°25′ E)....

In recent years, essential oils (EOs) have received interest due to their antibacterial properties. Accordingly, the present study aimed investigate effectiveness of EOs obtained from seven species Salvia on three strains Listeria monocytogenes (two serotyped wild and one ATCC strain), a bacterium able contaminate food products cause foodborne disease in humans. The analysed were cultivated at Botanic Garden Museum University Pisa, air-dried aerial parts subjected hydrodistillation using...
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...
IDPlanT is the Italian Database of Plant Translocation, an initiative Nature Conservation Working Group Botanical Society. currently includes 185 plant translocations. The establishment a national database on translocation key step forward in data sharing and techniques improvement this field conservation.Supplemental for article available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/11263504.2021.1985004 .
Scientific research is the main driver to push forward and disseminate botanical knowledge. Despite many institutions having this fundamental aim as a core activity, of them do not have complete set facilities, expertise, staff, resources cover all steps involved in study, management, conservation, popularization plant diversity. Accordingly, we propose workflow formalizing cooperation between garden center, focused on study endemic species. Specifically, was implemented PLANTSEED Lab...

Floristic inventories are crucial for research in botany, but they still conducted following a purposive approach. To overcome this limitation and move towards next generation floristics, we propose workflow, which integrates novel methods tools (a) Species-Area Relationship, (b) floristic cartography, (c) sampling algorithms.
Botanical gardens are dynamic systems of high scientific, ecological, cultural, and historical value. They irreplaceable places to cultivate, manage, study, preserve tree diversity. One the ongoing biggest challenges worldwide in managing preserving trees is climate change, which exposes specimens more stressful severe environmental conditions, causing an increase mortality. In our research, we aimed assess future change impact on collection Botanic Garden Pisa order outline expected...
We present an updated list of the vascular flora occurring in Cerbaie hills (Tuscany), a site high naturalistic interest. The is based on literature survey and field studies carried out years 2010–2022. host 1,107 specific subspecific taxa (including 100 naturalized aliens), 32 casual aliens 10 hybrid taxa. Two are new for Tuscany: Carex oedipostyla Thalictrum simplex subsp. galioides; 330 study area. Concerning old records, 344 have been confirmed, while 47 were not albeit considered...
Isolated populations are usually subject to low fitness and reduced genetic diversity, both of which may negatively affect their survival adaptive potential. Hence, these issues cannot be neglected when planning conservation actions for isolated populations. The Italian population Cistus laurifolius subsp. is extremely isolated. Furthermore, it affected by fragmentation, being constituted a single larger subpopulation, surrounded three much smaller subpopulations, few hundred metres...

Summary Remote sensing is a fundamental tool to monitor biodiversity over large spatial extents. However, it still not clear whether spectral diversity (SD - variation of response across set pixels) may represent fast and reliable proxy for different facets such as taxonomic (TD) functional (FD) scales. We used fine resolution (3 cm) multispectral imagery on coastal dune communities in Italy explore SD patterns scales assess relationships with TD FD along the environmental gradient. measured...
