The SISV support to the implementation of a national manual for monitoring the Habitats of the 92/43/EEC Directive in Italy.
2016
The 4th National Report ex Art. 17 of the 92/43/EEC Directive in Italy (period 2013-2018) will try to fill a number of gaps still affecting the former versions of the Italian Reports, where territorial data were still missing for large parts of the country and the assessment was mostly based on the use of the expert opinion. Similar inconsistencies also emerged in other European countries (State of nature in the EU, EEA 2015). In order to reach this aim, a nationally shared protocol for monitoring the vegetation-based Annex I Habitats is currently under development. The most prominent issues addressed by the ongoing project are: i) fixing standardized, updated and scientifically grounded me…
An overview of the Italian forest biodiversity and its conservation level, based on the first outcomes of the 4th Habitat Report ex-Art. 17
2019
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…
Hotspots of species richness, threat and endemism for terrestrial vertebrates in SW Europe
2011
The Mediterranean basin, and the Iberian Peninsula in particular, represent an outstanding “hotspot” of biological diversity with a long history of integration between natural ecosystems and human activities. Using deductive distribution models, and considering both Spain and Portugal, we downscaled traditional range maps for terrestrial vertebrates (amphibians, breeding birds, mammals and reptiles) to the finest possible resolution with the data at hand, and we identified hotspots based on three criteria: i) species richness; ii) vulnerability, and iii) endemism. We also provided a first evaluation of the conservation status of biodiversity hotspots based on these three criteria considerin…

Analisi dei cambiamenti dell’uso del suolo nei siti Natura 2000 “Bosco S. Adriano” e “Vendicari”
2008
Population and the economic activities increases, are the main and most important causes of the impoverishment of land and marine ecosystems of the planet. Within this context, the land use and vegetation cover data, and those on the transition between the different land use categories, are among the most required information necessary for the individuation of the sustainable management strategies of environmental and landscape resources. The same information is also necessary to control the efficacy of the environmental politics and the environmental integration instances of specific field politics (agriculture, industry, tourism, ect). In fact, one of the main themes is landscape transfor…
Trasformazioni del paesaggio e conservazione degli habitat nella zona umida di Vendicari (Sicilia)
2009
Il sito Natura 2000 “Vendicari” (ITA090002) si colloca in un più ampio sistema di zone umide costiere della Sicilia Sud-orientale. La particolarità di questi ambienti è legata alla presenza di lagune costiere e di formazioni vegetali che generalmente si trovano a contatto con esse. Questi ambienti costituiscono l’habitat per diverse specie, nonché esclusivi punti di sosta per molti uccelli migratori. Queste aree, un tempo più estese in Sicilia, durante il secolo scorso sono state sottoposte a disturbi e trasformazioni ambientali e paesaggistiche con conseguente riduzione della biodiversità. Le cause che hanno determinato maggiormente tali trasformazioni sono legate allo sfruttamento agricol…
