Anthropogenic biodiversity decline threatens the functioning of ecosystems and many benefits they provide to humanity1. As well as causing species losses in directly affected locations, human influence might also reduce relatively unmodified vegetation if far-reaching anthropogenic effects trigger local extinctions hinder recolonization. Here we show that plant diversity is globally negatively related level activity surrounding region. Impoverishment natural was evident only when considered...
Abstract Plant diversity is critical to ensure the future of humanity, as it provides essential ecosystem services and functioning. As recent estimates showed that animal-mediated pollination crucial for reproduction approximately 90% flowering plants, playing an role in maintaining biodiversity agricultural productivity, effort preserve plants cannot be disjoined from pollinator conservation initiatives. Despite their importance, pollinators have experienced alarming declines. The LIFE 4...
Badlands are peculiar geomorphological formations shaping landscapes of high ecological and cultural value. In the last decades, land reclamation for agricultural purposes ceasing traditional use, such as sheep grazing, led to their decline in extent many areas. To quantify changes badland-related plant communities, we resurveyed badland vegetation a site Crete Senesi (Siena, central Italy) after 16 years (2006-2022), using 48 quasi-permanent plots by means uni multivariate analysis...
In this contribution, new data concerning the distribution of native vascular flora in Italy are presented. It includes records, confirmations, exclusions, and status changes to Italian administrative regions. Nomenclatural updates, published elsewhere, corrigenda provided as Suppl. material 1.
The Herbarium Apenninicum (international code: APP), hosted in the Floristic Research Center of Apennines (Abruzzo, central Italy), is approximately composed about 80,000 specimens vascular plants; 66,352 them are mounted with data labels and entered a database. from Abruzzo administrative region (central Italy) correspond to more than half collection (57.8% specimens), while immediately afterwards, other neighboring provinces Italy follow. Outside Italy, most represented areas Morocco...
Cross-taxon congruence, i.e., using certain taxonomic groups as surrogates for others, is receiving growing interest since it may allow decreasing efforts in biodiversity studies. In this work, we investigated the patterns of cross-taxon congruence species richness and composition between communities bryophytes, lichens, vascular plants different biancana grasslands a Special Area Conservation (SAC) central Italy. We recorded presence abundance 16 plots 1 × m size analyzed data Procrustes...
