В целях учета и мониторинга коллекционных фондов проводится картирование видов и образцов растений на экспозициях ГБС РАН. Картирование - универсальный метод изучения, наблюдения и объективного контроля за процессами натурализации, спонтанного распространения интродуцированных видов в пространственном и ценотическом плане. В статье изложены методические подходы к организации картирования видов растений на экспозиции природной флоры., In order to record and monitor collection funds, mapping of plant species and specimens is carried out at the expositions of the MBG RAS. Mapping is a universal method of studying, observing and objectively controlling the processes of naturalization, spontaneous distribution of introduced species in spatial and cenotic terms. Methodological approaches to the organization of mapping plant species at the natural flora exposition are presented in the article.

The results of a project for the identification of species-specific monitoring protocols for the Italian plant species protected under the Habitats Directive (Annexes II/IV/V) are presented. The project led to the development of 118 monitoring factsheets, providing an operational guidance for 107 vascular taxa, 10 bryophytes and 1 lichen taxon. Each factsheet includes information on the species (distribution, biology, ecology, conservation status, threats, etc.) and the description of field methodologies for the detection of the two main reporting parameters, i.e. population size and habitat quality. Practical information to plan field activities are also given. Protocols were designed to address the requirements of the European reporting system with the aim to standardize future monitoring activities, optimize efforts at national scale and overcome some current problems related to data heterogeneity and discrepancies from the EC standards. More than 60 botanists collaborated to identify the best practices and to design an operational field survey format through several stages of discussion and sharing. The protocols, developed by ISPRA and Scientific Societies and shared with the Italian institutions responsible for the Directive application, were published in a dedicated National handbook. The work provides a first uniform technical basis for future national monitoring plans.
