Results of a phytosociological study on the wood on the sandstone bedrock are here presented. The studied area is located in the southern part of Marche Region, Ascoli Piceno Province, under the influence of temperate climate (lower/higher mesotemperate and lower supratemperate bioclimatic belts). The vegetation study has been performed throught 119 phytosociological relevés. All data were submitted to multivariate statistical analysis. The phytosociology analysis has permitted to characterize 6 associations, whereof 2 news: Erico arboreae-Quercetum pubescentis ericetosum arboreae and Hieracio murori-Ostryetum carpinifoliae hieracietosum murori. Chorological and synecological datas were described in the paper, compared to the corresponding associations of the limestones bedrock of the neighbouring area.

Community assembly processes along a sub-Mediterranean elevation gradient: analyzing the interdependence of trait community weighted mean and functional diversity

While they have been often used separately to infer assembly processes, their covariation can actually provide useful insights into the prevalence of a particular assembly process over the other. We propose a framework where positive or negative covariation of these indices can be related to different assembly processes along an environmental gradient. We tested this framework in grassland communities along elevation gradient in Central Apennines by collecting species cover and traits of the most abundant species and calculating the effect size CWM and FD. We performed major axis regression for each effect size of CWM-FD relationship for different belts along the elevation gradient. The observation that Plant Height showed a positive CWM-FD relationship only under more stressful conditions indicates that there may be a tendency towards habitat filtering. Seed Mass showing positive covariation in each belt may indicate the presence of both habitat filtering and limiting similarity acting with different intensity depending on the environmental stress level.

Assessment of climate change effects on mountain ecosystems through a cross-site analysis in the Alps and Apennines

Science of The Total Environment, 2018

Mountain ecosystems are sensitive and reliable indicators of climate change. Long-term studies ma... more Mountain ecosystems are sensitive and reliable indicators of climate change. Long-term studies may be extremely useful in assessing the responses of high-elevation ecosystems to climate change and other anthropogenic drivers from a broad ecological perspective. Mountain research sites within the LTER (Long-Term Ecosystem Research) network are representative of various types of ecosystems and span a wide bioclimatic and elevational range. Here, we present a synthesis and a review of the main results from long-term ecological studies in mountain ecosystems at 20 LTER sites in Italy, Switzerland and Austria covering in most cases more than two decades of observations. We analyzed a set of key climate parameters, such as temperature and snow cover duration, in relation to vascular species composition, plant traits, abundance patterns, pedoclimate, nutrient dynamics in soils and water, phenology and composition of freshwater biota. The overall results highlight the rapid response of mountain ecosystems to climate change, with site-specific characteristics and rates. As temperatures increased, vegetation cover in alpine and subalpine summits increased as well. Years with limited snow cover duration caused an increase in soil temperature and microbial biomass during the growing season. Effects on freshwater ecosystems were also observed, in terms of increases in solutes, decreases in nitrates and changes in plankton phenology and benthos communities. This work highlights the importance of comparing and integrating long-term ecological data collected in different ecosystems, both terrestrial and freshwater, for a more comprehensive overview of the ecological effects of climate change. Nevertheless, there is a need for (i) adopting co-located monitoring site networks to improve our ability to obtain sound results from cross-site analysis, (ii) carrying out further studies, in particular short-term analyses with fine spatial and temporal resolutions to improve our understanding of responses to extreme events, and (ii) increasing comparability and standardizing protocols across networks to clarify local patterns from global patterns.

It includes permanent plots where long term ecological monitoring is carried out. They are distributed in the three geographical sectors of Apennines: Northern Apennines: the permanent plots are placed between the timberline zone and the alpine belt (1800-2120 m); they are included into the worldwide network of GLORIA project (GLObal Research Initiative in Alpine ecosystems). Other permanent plots are devoted to the monitoring of snow cover and of the populations of vascular plants at extinction risk. Central Apennines: the oldest permanent plots are located at G...

With the aim to provide useful aspects for the planning and management of the regional diversity, a complete list of 61 taxa, including an additional list of all the accounted records and distributional maps of the pteridological knowledge, has been presented. The considered pteridological flora is constituted by 2 very common taxa (CC), 22 common taxa (C), 8 less common taxa (LC), 3 rare taxa (R), 7 very rare taxa (RR) and 6 taxa reported as doubtful (D). Moreover, 8 taxa are not recently confirmed (NC), 2 are extincted (EX) and 3 are counted out (NP) of the regional pteridological flora. The Fucino plain and the hill and rural sectors of the Pescara and Chieti provinces have been reported as geographical lacks of pteridological knowledges. Instead, Laga Mountains have been evaluated as regional pteridological high-interest site, due to the presence of an high percentage of rare and very rare pteridological taxa.
