Note illustrative alla carta geomorfologica e della vegetazione dell’area della Rupe

A multi-scale approach to assess the impacts of roads on biodiversity and geomorphology.

Studio geoambientale dei Biotopi “Foci dell’Avisio”, “La Rupe” e “La Rocchetta” finalizzato alla Valutazione di Impatto Ambientale

Thematic cartography in a GIS (Geographic Information System) have been employed to assess the direct impact produced on geological, geomorphologic and vegetation settings by the construction of a new motorway between the town of Mezzolombardo (TN) and the snout of the Non Valley (Rocchetta area). geological, geomorphologic and vegetation maps have been created at a 1:5,000 scale and implemented in a GIS. The geological map concerns not only the Mesozoic substratum and the size of the rocky outcrops, but also the complex Quaternary deposits occurring in the area. Similarly, by adopting the polygonal units of the geomorphologic map, the main goal was a complete and continuous definition of t…
