Abstract

An overview of the salt marsh vegetation of southeastern Sicily is here presented. On the basis of a total of 241 relevés, 8 classes and 32 plant communities have been identified, following the Braun-Blanquet phytosociological method. The salt marsh vegetation of southeastern Sicily is represented by aquatic communities of Ruppietea and Potamogetonetea, by helophytic communities of Phragmito-Magnocaricetea, by hygrophylous communities of Juncetea maritimi, by halophylous communities of Salicornietea fruticosae, by annual halo-nitrophylous communities of Saginetea maritimae, and finally by halophylous annual communities of Thero-Suaedetea splendentis. The plant communities belonging to Salicornietea fruticosae and Juncetea maritimi classes, were analysed through a numerical analysis (hierarchical clustering). The study also describes two new associations belonging to the Tamaricion africanae (Limbardo crithmoidis-Tamaricetum africanae) and Frankenion pulverulentae (Brizo minoris-Isolepidetum cernui) alliances.

Abstract

As part of researches undertaken on the aquatic and marsh vegetation of southern Italy, a study on the Aquila Lake, a small lake basin in southern Calabria near Rosarno (RC), is here presented. Overall, 86 phytosociological relevés were carried out. The phytosociological study allowed the identification of several aquatic and marsh phytocoenoses, many of which not yet known for the region. They are referable to the following 8 classes: Lemnetea minoris R. Tx. ex O. Bolòs & Masclans 1955, Potametea pectinati R.Tx. & Preising 1942, Phragmito australis-Magnocaricetea elatae Klika in Klika & Novák 1941, Agrostietea stoloniferae Oberdorfer 1983, Galio aparines-Urticetea dioicae Passarge ex Kopecký 1969, Molinio-Arrhenatheretea Tüxen 1937, Salici purpureae-Populetea nigrae Rivas-Martínez & Cantó ex Rivas-Martínez et al. 2001, Querco roboris-Fagetea sylvaticae Br.-Bl. & Vlieger in Vlieger 1937. A peculiar marsh vegetation is the Cladietum marisci Allorge 1922 ex Zobrist 1935 (habitat of Community interest, according to the EEC directive 43/92 - 7210 *Calcareous ferns with Cladium mariscus and species of the Caricion davallianae"). In the Aquila Lake, some rare aquatic plant communities highlight the importance of this biotope for biodiversity conservation. In particular, we found the pleustophytic associations Lemno-Spirodeletum polyrhizae Koch 1954, Lemno minoris-Hydrocharitetum morsus-ranae Passarge 1978 and the aquatic rooted vegetation of Nymphaeetum albae Vollm. 1947. Despite the heavy pressures on this area, the biotope harbours a well-differentiated and structured aquatic and marsh vegetation that allows the presence of a rich bird life, both sedentary and migratory. The area, privately owned, is not protected; hunting and fishing are practiced and water is pumped for irrigation with negative consequences on the integrity of the entire aquatic ecosystem. Because of its naturalistic peculiarities and its remarkable biodiversity, this biotope certainly deserves more attention and should be proposed as a protected area.

Abstract

In 2019 the 4th Report ex-Art. 17 on the conservation status (CS) of Annex I Habitats of the 92/43/EEC Directive was expected by every EU/28 country, with reference to the period 2013-18. In Italy, the process was in charge to the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA), on behalf of the Ministry for Environment, Land and Sea Protection (MATTM), with the scientific support of the Italian Botanical Society (SBI). A large group of thematic and territorial experts elaborated the available data concerning the 124 types of terrestrial and inland water Habitats present in Italy, 39 of which are represented by Forest Habitats (Group 9),. The main aim of the work was the evaluation of the overall CS of each Habitat by Biogeographic Region (Mediterranean, Continental and Alpine), for a total amount of 294 assessments. A high proportion of these (92, corresponding to 31% of the total) referred to Forest Habitats, including 20 marginal types for which the CS was not requested. The analysis was carried out at different scales: a) administrative territory, through the data contained in the ISPRA database, whose compilation was in charge to the Regions and Autonomous Provinces; b) Natura 2000 site, with the latest updates available (Standard Data Forms updated to 2018); c) national scale, implementing the distribution maps for each Habitat based on the European grid ETRS89-LAEA5210 (10x10 km2 mesh); d) Biogeographic Region, scale of the final assessment. Cartographic outcomes, associated databases and additional data used for the assessments will be available online on the ISPRA Portal as soon as the validation process by the European Commission will be completed. A dedicated archive named "HAB_IT" has been created in the national database "VegItaly" (1), managed by the Italian Society of Vegetation Science, where the phytosociological relevés representative of the various Annex I Habitats in Italy will be archived and freely accessible. An overview of the results regarding the Forest habitats is here provided, including a comparison with the outcomes of the former reporting cycle, the 3rd Report ex-Art. 17 (2). In several cases (e.g. 9120, 91L0), the distribution maps have been remarkably improved due to better knowledge and more fitful interpretation. The conservation status resulted as Favourable (FV) for 6,7%, Inadequate (U1) for 58,7% and Bad (U1) for 32,0% of the 72 assessed forest Habitat types. In no case there was an improvement of the conservation status, while in 6 cases a worsening of the conditions resulted from the data analysis, pointing out the Habitats types with a higher need of action. Similarly to other projects carried out as a team by the network of Annex I Habitat experts of the Italian Botanical Society and the Italian Society for Vegetation Science (e.g. 3, 4), this is another step in the direction of supporting the implementation of the 92/43/EEC "Habitat" Directive in Italy and Europe. On this ground, the high biodiversity of the Italian forest Habitats could be emphasized, however results pointed out that some rare or endemic types (e.g. Alnus cordata or Betula aetnensis-dominated forests) are still scarcely acknowledged by the most prominent EU conservation tools such as the Annex I to the "Habitat" Directive. 1) F.

Abstract

La classe Saginetea maritimae Westhoff, Leeuwen & Adriani 1962 include vegetazione pioniera caratterizzata da terofite, anche di piccola taglia, sub-alofile ed alo-nitrofile, a ciclo invernale-primaverile, di ambienti salmastri del litorale ma anche di aree calanchive interne, su substrati da sabbioso a limoso-sabbiosi ad argillosi. Negli ambienti litoranei questa vegetazione colonizza sia coste sabbiose, in particolare aree periodicamente inondate tipiche dei pantani costieri e di habitat retrodunali, sia coste rocciose, in corrispondenza di vaschette di corrosione o di micro-terrazzamenti. La classe comprende due ordini: Saginetalia maritimae Westhoff, Leeuwen & Adriani 1962, con areale che spazia dalle coste dell'Atlantico al bacino del Mediterraneo e legata ai macrobioclimi temperato e mediterraneo, e Frankenietalia pulverulentae Rivas-Mart. ex Castroviejo et Porta 1976, distribuita in Mediterraneo e Macaronesia e di macrobioclima mediterraneo. Ai sensi dell'Allegato I della Direttiva Europea 92/43/EEC (Direttiva "Habitat"), buona parte di queste queste comunità rientrano nell'habitat di interesse comunitario "Salicornia and other annuals colonizing mud and sand" (Natura 2000 code 1310). L'approccio fitosociologico ha un ruolo importante in termini di gestione ambientale e conservazione della biodiversità degli habitat in quanto, oltre alla possibilità di utilizzare i rilievi fitosociologici come fonte di informazione per la valutazione della diversità vegetale a diverse scale, va evidenziato che i principali sistemi di classificazione di habitat utilizzati in Unione Europea (EUNIS, Allegato I della Direttiva "Habitat") individuano la tassonomia fitosociologica come strumento diagnostico di riferimento per gli habitat stessi. La vegetazione della classe Saginetea maritimae della Puglia è stata in passato oggetto di indagini fitosociologiche da parte di alcuni autori anche se, ad oggi, manca un contributo unitario ed aggiornato per la regione. I rilievi di letteratura, insieme a nuovi dati recentemente acquisiti in campo, sono stati organizzati in un'unica matrice e quindi sottoposti ad analisi statistica multivariata, per mettere in evidenza le affinità e le differenze tra le diverse comunità e le correlazioni tra queste e i principali fattori ecologici che le interessano. Il presente contributo ha come obiettivo quello di fornire un quadro aggiornato sulla distribuzione delle diverse comunità vegetali individuate nella regione Puglia e sul loro inquadramento sintassonomico.

Abstract

The richness and uniqueness of the flora growing on gypsum substrates in Italy is known since the XIX century (Macchiati, 1888). Furthermore, the concept of plant gypsophily can be defined as the exclusiveness (or virtually exclusiveness) for living in gypsum outcropping rocks. Thus only those plant species, which show preference – or even exclusivity - for gypsum substrates, would be classified as gipsophilous (Mota et al., 2011). The main aim of this research has been the elaboration of a checklist of the Italian gypsophilous flora. The study was made possible through international collaboration between the "Mediterranea" University of Reggio Calabria (Italy) and the University of Almería (Spain). During the first step, an extensive literature review has been carried out in order to collect all available information about gypsophilous flora and to compile a preliminary list. Afterwards 18 regional botanists experts on Italian gypsum flora have been asked to rank the preference of these species for gypsum soils. Following the methodology proposed by Mota et al. (2009), the gypsophilous character of more than 100 plant species has been thus ranked on a scale ranging from 1 to 5 (with 5 representing for a total dependence on gypsum substrates). According to the obtained values, all the plant species, ranking between absolute or preferent gypsophytes, will figure in the final checklist of the gypsophytes of the whole Italian territory.

Abstract

Recent developments in machine learning have expanded data-driven modelling (DDM) capabilities, allowing artificial intelligence to infer the behaviour of a system by computing and exploiting correlations between observed variables within it. Machine learning algorithms may enable the use of increasingly available big data and assist applying ecosystem service models across scales, analysing and predicting the flows of these services to disaggregated beneficiaries. We use the Weka and ARIES software to produce two examples of DDM: firewood use in South Africa and biodiversity value in Sicily, respectively. Our South African example demonstrates that DDM (64 91% accuracy) can identify the areas where firewood use is within the top quartile with comparable accuracy as conventional modelling techniques (54 77% accuracy). The Sicilian example highlights how DDM can be made more accessible to decision makers, who show both capacity and willingness to engage with uncertainty information. Uncertainty estimates, produced as part of the DDM process, allow decision makers to determine what level of uncertainty is acceptable to them and to use their own expertise for potentially contentious decisions. We conclude that DDM has a clear role to play when modelling ecosystem services, helping produce interdisciplinary models and holistic solutions to complex socio-ecological issues. © 2018 The Authors

Abstract

GIS spatial analysis of three indicators (vegetation value, faunal richness and landscape heterogeneity) was used to detect and map High-Value Biodiversity Areas (HVBAs), estimate the coverage of biodiversity in the Sicilian protected areas network, and identify new priority areas that could improve long-term biodiversity conservation outcomes. Findings indicated that only 32% of HVBAs are currently covered by the protected areas network. Hotspot analysis revealed that a modest expansion (less than 1%) in the current extent of protected areas would include a disproportionate amount (56%) of biodiversity hotspots, and identified prioritized candidates HVBAs for designation of new protected areas. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

Abstract

A vegetation survey of the SCI IT9140002 - "Litorale Brindisino" (Apulia Region, Italy), with a focus on the coastal environments, along with vegetation and habitat maps, are here presented. The SCI is a coastal site characterized by dunes and salt marshes and, landwards, by garrigues, maquis and grasslands. The coastal belt is characterized by a highly fragmented landscape, because of anthropogenic pressures and coastal erosion. The vegetation was studied according to the phytosociological method and the survey led to the identification of 22 plant communities belonging to 11 syntaxonomic classes. Vegetation and habitat maps were digitized in ArcGis 10.2 from recent orthophotos in combination with topographical maps, at a scale of 1:5,000. The presence of several complex vegetation mosaics was highlighted.

Abstract

This article illustrates the vegetation map of the SCI "Zone umide della Capitanata" (IT 9110005) a wetland area of South Italy (Apulia Region). The SCI "Zone Umide della Capitanata" is one of the most important Italian coastal wetlands and it covers about 14.000 ha, part of which is exploited for marine salt production. The site is characterized by a wetlands complex in coastal environment, with highly fragmented landscape because of anthropogenic activities (mainly herbaceous crops). This study aims at assessing presence and distribution of vegetation types that, despite strong human pressure, still maintain good natural habitat conditions. Thematic maps were digitized in ArcGis 10.2 from recent orthophotos in ombination with topographical maps (1:5.000). In case of fragmented areas, vegetation mosaics were adopted. The extent of complex vegetation mosaics is wider in those areas where anthropogenic activities are stronger.

Abstract

Aim: Object of this work was to compare different habitat and land cover classification schemes, applied to a specific coastal wetland landscape, with a defined thematic resolution level. Location and Methods: Study area is the SCI IT9110005, one of the most extensive wetlands of the Italian peninsula and one of the largest components of the Mediterranean wetland system, located in the Northeastern part of the Puglia Region (Southern Italy). The natural vegetation is represented mostly by halophytic scrub, reed thickets and by annual pioneer salt marsh communities. Natural and semi-natural landscape elements were described as phytosociological units and represented on a vegetation map at a 1:5,000 scale. Vegetation units were then reclassified in habitat types according to Annex I of the EEC 92/43 Directive and EUNIS habitat classification schemes and in land cover types according to different land cover schemes. For each scheme a thematic map was produced and, for each map, various landscape metrics were calculated. Results and Conclusions: The selection of a specific class scheme affects the spatial pattern of the derived landscapes and consequently the landscape metrics, especially at class level. The presence of various vegetation types and mosaics increases the complexity of the spatial pattern, which varies greatly according to the classification system considered, based on how the different types are aggregated. Our results confirm that the choice of specific classification schemes produces important effects on the spatial composition of the derived patch-mosaic landscape, and therefore can significantly affect the derived landscape metrics values.

Abstract

Il Sito di Importanza Comunitaria (SIC IT9140002) "Litorale Brindisino" si estende tra i territori di Ostuni e Fasano (BR) per un totale di 7256 ettari, includendo area terrestre ed area marina. La fascia costiera è caratterizzata da un esteso cordone dunale e da un vasto sistema di aree umide retrostanti. L'entroterra è caratterizzato da oliveti plurisecolari e seminativi, e da incisioni perpendicolari alla linea di costa localmente dette "lame". L'area del SIC "Litorale Brindisino" è stata oggetto di approfonditi studi floristici (Mele et al., 2007) che hanno la presenza di 621 taxa subgenerici, nonché la presenza di numerose specie endemiche, rare o minacciate. Nel periodo compreso tra il 2007 ed il 2013 sono stati effettuati numerosi sopralluoghi in campo e rilievi fitosociologici (georeferiti con gps), per l'identificazione delle associazioni vegetali secondo il metodo di Zurigo-Montpellier. Le indagini hanno permesso di individuare diverse associazioni, molte delle quali ben differenziate sotto il profilo floristico e fisionomico-strutturale e riferibili alle classi: Potametea pectinati, Crithmo maritimi-Staticetea, Sarcocornietea fruticosae, Thero-Suadetea splendentis, Juncetea maritimi, Phragmito australis-Magnocaricetea elatae, Cakiletea maritimae, Euphorbio paraliae-Ammophiletea australis, Quercetea ilicis, Cisto cretici-Micromerietea julianae, Lygeo sparti-Stipetea tenacissimae, Tuberarietea guttatae, Asplenietea trichomanis. Per l'analisi territoriale sono state usate ortofoto georeferite e la Nuova Carta Tecnica Regionale (CTR) 1:5000 della Regione Puglia (SIT-Puglia, http://www.sit.puglia.it/), sulla base delle quali è stato implementato un GIS (con software ArcGis 10.2). I dati raccolti in campo sono stati usati per la definizione e la validazione della carta della vegetazione. Dall'analisi cartografica emerge che le aree coltivate coprono il 50% circa dell'intero territorio del SIC. Per quanto riguarda invece le aree naturali, le formazioni maggiormente estese sono le garighe (5,8%) e le praterie (circa l'11 %). Lungo la fascia costiera si riscontrano numerose associazioni vegetali tipiche di questi ambienti, ma con distribuzione frammentaria e superfici piuttosto ridotte. Infatti l'erosione costiera ha causato un forte rimaneggiamento delle comunità del cordone dunale, con una "compressione" delle fasce di vegetazione tipiche della duna. Anche la parte umida presenta un pattern piuttosto complesso, con numerosi mosaici di vegetazione. Sono stati individuati 13 habitat comunitari che ricoprono circa il 30,5% della superficie complessiva del SIC. Gli habitat più estesi sono: 6220* - "Percorsi sub-steppici di graminacee e piante annue dei Thero-Brachypodietea" (10,76%), 2260 - "Dune con vegetazione di sclerofille dei Cisto-Lavanduletea" (8,62%), 2250* - "Dune costiere con Juniperus spp." (4,68%) e 1420 - "Praterie e fruticeti alofili mediterranei e termo-atlantici (Sarcocornietea fruticosae) (2,8%).

Abstract

Habitats are effective indicators of biodiversity. Remote sensing data and techniques are of great utility for their long-term monitoring. Habitat maps can be derived from land cover (LC) maps through rules obtained from expert knowledge and integrated within situdata. Spatial (vegetation pattern) and temporal (phenology and water seasonality) relationships were explored and documented to infer reliable rules for LC (according to the Food and Agricultural Organization Land Cover Classification System (FAO-LCCS) taxonomy) to habitat (Annex I to the 92/43 EEC Directive and EUNIS) class translation. A coastal site in southern Italy was considered as study site for the definition and validation of such rules. Phenological data of the plant communities were collected on the basis of vegetation plots randomly distributed within the study site. Water seasonality was extracted from periodical observation of the water surface. Vegetation pattern was analyzed by means of vegetation survey along transects. The potentiality of rules, based on this specific expert knowledge, was tested in an experimental setting for habitat mapping. The overall accuracy of the habitat map was 75.1%. Such a result supports the usefulness of prior expert knowledge for habitat mapping from LCCS classes and disambiguation on one-to-many relations between LC/LU and habitat types.

The aim of the present study was the biometrical comparison and ecological analysis of six populations ofJuniperus phoeniceacomplex from the western part of the species' geographic range, each represented by about 30 individuals. This is the first study to include the Sicilian population ofJ. turbinatasensu stricto. Seven features of the cones and seeds, two of the shoots and leaves and eight ratios were used to describe the individuals and populations which were then compared using statistical methods. Four of the analysed populations (representatives ofJ. turbinatas.s.) are closely related to each other. The two other populations representingJ. phoeniceas.s. appear to be much more variable but on the whole the two taxa treated at a species level seem to be quite distinct from each other. It was also noted that there are two quite different ecologies of these species: the first is typical of the thermomediterranean belt which is only found at high altitudes in the mountains of north Africa, and the second circumscribed to the meso- or supramediterranean belt of western Spain, France and northwestern Italy. In many parts of its coastal distribution,Juniperus turbinatais endangered due to the construction of summer resorts and therefore actions to protect this species are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this paper, the results of a study on the ecology, floristic composition and spatial assemblages of temporary limestone rock pool plant communities of a central Mediterranean area (S Sicily, the Maltese Islands and Lampedusa) are presented. A total of 76 temporary pools were studied, distributed between the infra-mediterranean and thermo-mediterranean bioclimatic belt. For each temporary rock pools, the floristic composition and cover of the species were determined using standard relevé methods. Moreover, for 50 of these pools, pH, conductivity, soil depth, water-level, altitude and floristic richness and diversity index were assessed. The plant communities were analysed using unweighted pair group method using arithmetic averages and Euclidean distance classification and ordination methods such as canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). A total of four plant communities with specific floristic composition were established, each one with a different dominant species:Callitriche truncata;Elatine gussonei;Tillaea vaillantiiandLythrum hyssopifolia. According to the CCA, the spatial patterns of plant communities follow an ecological gradient related to water level and depth/size of the rock pools: these are the main ecological features affecting the distribution of the plant communities of rock pools. In addition, floristic richness and diversity index showed a slight increase in trend from temporary pools submerged for long periods towards pools submerged for short periods.

Abstract

This study is aimed at (1) producing a complete and updated inventory of the endemic vascular flora of Peloritani Mountains, (2) defining the geographical limits of Peloritani, regarded here as a biogeographical district and (3) highlighting possible paleogeographic connections with other Mediterranean lands. The heterogeneity analysis of the endemic flora was performed by means of contingency tables, through the χ2test. The endemic flora of this area consists of 129 specific and infraspecifictaxa, of which 15 are restricted to the Peloritani Mountains. The analysis of habitats revealed that endemic taxa are most abundant on cliffs, rangelands, woods and garrigues. A large number of surveyedtaxaare endemic to central-southern Italy and Sicily, while the number of endemictaxain common with Calabria, Etna and Aeolian Islands turned out to be rather low, in spite of the geographical proximity. The endemic flora of Peloritani allows to emphasize palaeogeographical relationships not only with the neighbouring Mediterranean territories, but also with currently remote ones, such as southern Spain, Sardinia and Corsica. The phytogeographical framework substantiates the hypothesis that the Peloritani floristic district coincides with the limit given to Peloritani Mountains by structural geologists.

Abstract

A comparative analysis of the riparian vegetation dominated by Alnus glutinosa in Italy and Tyrrhenian islands, based on literature data and unpublished relevés, is presented. A total of 456 phytosociological relevés were processed. For the definition of plant communities and alliances, hierarchical clustering was performed by using Bray-Curtis coefficient and Detrended Correspondence Analysis ordination methods. Identification of diagnostic species of the vegetation units was performed by means of the phi fidelity index. Quantum GIS software version 3.6 was used for the interpolation of the bioclimatic variables and A. glutinosa communities. Overall, a total of 18 A. glutinosa-riparian wood communities were distinguished for Italy and Tyrrhenian islands, of which two new associations and one new subassassociation are described. The classification of the relevés showed two main vegetation groups: the first one including the plant communities of the Osmundo-Alnion alliance, and the other including the vegetation of the Ligustro vulgaris-Alnion glutinosae alliance. This latest includes the riparian meso-thermophilous communities of central and northern Italy. Within the Osmundo-Alnion alliance, two subgroups can be recognized: the first one includes the thermophilous communities of the Hyperico hircini-Alnenion glutinosae sub-alliance, mainly spread in the Tyrrhenian islands, while the second group includes the mesophilous communities attributed to the new suballiance Struthioptero-Alnenion glutinosae, widespread in central Italy and the Corsican mountains. The present paper provides the first comprehensive and exhaustive scheme of the A. glutinosa riparian woodlands diversity in Italy and Corsica.

Abstract

A synthetic and updated overview about the vascular flora and vegetation of the Island of Capo Passero (SE-Sicily) is provided. These data issue from two series of field surveys—the first carried out between 1997 and 2000, and the second between 2005 and 2019 and mostly focused on refining and implementing vegetation data. The current islet’s flora consists of 269 taxa, of which 149 (58%) are annual plants. The Mediterranean species are largely prevailing, 108 (40%) of which have a strictly Mediterranean biogeographical status. The comparison with a species list published in 1919 and updated in 1957 suggest that, despite the overall prevalence of anemochorous taxa, the vertebrate fauna represents an important vector for the plant colonization of the island, while the immigration of myrmechocorous taxa does not compensate the extinction rate. As many as 202 phytosociological relevés, 191 of which issue from original recent field surveys, enabled identifying 12 different plant communities. The comparison with a vegetation map published in 1965 suggests a strong reduction in dune habitats (2120 and 2210 according to EU ‘Habitats’ Directive 92/43), as well as a deep disruption in the succession typical of the local psammophilous vegetation series. In order to preserve rare, endangered and protected plant species (such as Aeluropus lagopoides, Cichorium spinosum, Limonium hyblaeum, L. syracusanum, Poterium spinosum, Senecio pygmaeus and Spergularia heldreichii) and to stop the ongoing habitat degradation, urgent and effective conservation measures should be adopted for this tiny, yet precious islet.

Abstract

Aims: i) To disentangle the global patterns of native and alien plant diversity on coastal sand dune ecosystems across habitats and floristic kingdoms, ii) to determine the main drivers of variation in species richness in native and alien species in these endangered ecosystems, and iii) to test for an interaction between spatial scale and native‐alien richness patterns, as predicted by the invasion paradox. Location: Global. Methods: We collated a dataset of 14,841 vegetation plots in coastal sand dune ecosystems from around the world. Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) and Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) were used to assess the patterns and main ecological determinants underlying native and alien species richness. Variation partitioning revealed the relative importance of environmental and anthropogenic variables. Results: GLMs revealed strong differences among both habitats and floristic kingdoms in the number of native and alien species. Specifically, native species richness increased along the sea‐inland gradient and was higher in the Cape and Paleotropical kingdoms. In contrast, alien species richness was relatively similar across habitats and kingdoms, though some differences were detected. There were strong differences between the drivers of native and alien richness; anthropogenic factors such as Gross Domestic Product were positively associated with alien richness whereas native richness was more strongly related to environmental factors. Furthermore, we found a weak support for an invasion paradox effect. Conclusions: Our results revealed the complexity of causal processes underpinning coastal sand dune plant biodiversity and highlight the importance of considering native and alien species separately. Recognition of these differences while researching variation in biodiversity patterns and processes at multiple spatial scales will lead to a better mechanistic understanding of the causes of invasion worldwide, and in coastal ecosystems in particular, allowing the development of more focused control and management measures.

Abstract

Coastal dunes are among habitats with the worst conservation status on a global, European and national scale. Monitoring and reporting are of strategic importance to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of Habitats Directive and to preserve the unique biodiversity heritage of the Italian dunes. In this study we show main results of the 4th National Report with specific reference to the macro-habitat “Coastal Sand Dunes and Inland Dunes”, highlighting its updated current conservation status at the national and Biogeographical level. A comprehensive Working Group of territorial experts collected, updated, validated and integrated the data available for 11 Annex I Habitats, distributed in the Alpine, Continental and Mediterranean Biogeographical Regions. The conservation status was evaluated through the following criteria: geographic range, surface area, structure, functions, pressures, threats, conservation measures and prospects. Results highlighted the dramatically bad conservation status of Italian dune Habitats: the overall assessment reported 88% of habitats in bad conservation status and the remaining 12% is in inadequate conditions. Results showed a generalised threat and a worrying conservation status both on herbaceous and wooded communities, in particular in some relevant habitats, such as the shifting dunes. Main pressures and threats were linked to residential, commercial and industrial activities, as well as alien species. Although some of the changes in distribution and trends are probably deriving from more accurate and updated data, the alarming conservation status of Italian sand dunes requires a better knowledge of pressures and threats for further management actions and monitoring plans, inside and outside protected areas.
