Abstract Aim Species–area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas, power best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes at finer spatial grains continuous vegetation. We asked which function describes small and explored how sampling methodology or the environment influence SAR shape. Location Palaearctic grasslands non‐forested habitats. Taxa Vascular plants, bryophytes lichens....
Despite the wide amount of scientific contributions published on alien plant species, their diffusion dynamics, and interactions with native taxa, it is increasingly difficult to slow down spreading negative impact habitats. Last recent years, in fact, a sharp rise number new taxa introduced Italy Europe has been recorded. The aim this work investigate most Italian territory order verify whether alarming trend still underway. Specimen collections and/or observations plants have performed as...
A single paragraph of about 200 words maximum. For research articles, abstracts should give a pertinent overview the work. We strongly encourage authors to use following style structured abstracts, but without headings: (1) Background: Place question addressed in broad context and highlight purpose study; (2) Methods: briefly describe main methods or treatments applied; (3) Results: summarize article’s findings; (4) Conclusions: indicate conclusions interpretations. The abstract be an...
Marketable yield is the main objective in tomato production, but fair values for quality parameters are also becoming very important. A research project was undertaken two years to assess impact of water-saving techniques on yield, fruit and water use efficiency (WUE) processing (cv. Pullrex) Mediterranean environment. Additionally, better understand how irrigation may affect traits, different statistical were applied results. Total reduced by 37% average both when half crop...
Summary We attempted to elucidate the roles of β‐diversity components and similarity in shaping L obaria pulmonaria lichen communities I talian forests provide scientific tools for improving their long‐term conservation. A total 20 sites were selected by stratified random sampling, including five chestnut forests, seven beech–silver fir eight oak distributed across 10 administrative regions taly. Site selection was based on a national data base all available records L. In each forest, four...
Despite the importance for scientific and conservation purposes, knowledge of Italian territory is far from exhaustive. New chorological data 87 vascular taxa regarding central-southern part Italy its two main islands (Sicilia Sardegna) are presented. Among these taxa, Epilobium nummularifolium, Metrosideros excelsa, Salvinia minima recorded as casual aliens first time in Europe (excluding Azores Madeira M. excelsa), while Cyclamen balearicum Polygala rupestris reported confirmed native...

Abstract Questions Semi‐natural grasslands in Southern Europe are biodiversity hotspots, yet their patterns of plant species richness less studied than Central Europe. In the Apennines (Italy), there large areas dry calcareous grasslands, across a steep gradient mean annual precipitation (from 650 to 1350 mm within c. 30 km). We asked: How do these compare other Palaearctic levels? and environmental predictors influence richness? Does this differ among taxonomic groups? Location Submontane...

The fragmentation of the natural habitat is a process that exponentially increasing worldwide and represents one biggest threats to biological diversity. Habitat destruction have major impact on landscapes may also affect ecosystems, populations, species. ongoing anthropogenic can result in loss for some species, creation others, reduced patch size, increased distance between patches, which lead local extinction. We analyzed effects size isolation lichens Quercus pubescens woods surrounding...

The growing focus on the protection and conservation of biodiversity has attracted attention to problem potential invasiveness alien species that escaped cultivation spread in various types habitats might replace native species. This would lead a loss have negative economic environmental repercussions. Mediterranean flora is particularly rich genera are characteristic different habitats, soil climatic conditions, can offer exciting opportunities for innovation floricultural industry. In this...
Muscari comosum is a widespread Mediterranean species with long use as food. The edible part the bitter bulb that has to be cooked. increasing value of bulbs, also due renewed cultural interest toward traditional foods and their benefits for health, claims enhance agricultural production. Surprisingly, no agronomic studies about best practice propagation exist. We tested whether how germination rate weight size after one growing season, were affected by sowing date (autumn–spring), condition...
In this contribution, new data concerning bryophytes, fungi and lichens of the Italian flora are presented. It includes records confirmations for bryophyte genera Campylopus , Paludella Tortula Conocephalum fungal Agonimia Buelliella Entorrhiza Filicupula Poronia Sporisorium lichen Cladonia Dibaeis Lasallia Rhizocarpon .
In Italy, the expansion of turfgrasses is limited by lack suitable species for cultivation in Mediterranean climate. With this view, Mi.Te.A.Med. (Turfgrass improvement climate) research project was developed with main purpose to find out and agronomically characterise native turfgrass Southern Central Italy compare them some commercial cultivars. During first step research, 11 sites from 6 regions were identified. these 24 ecotypes Cynodon dactylon L. (Pers.) collected their habitus,...
