Canopy closure and intensifying climate extremes drive understory species loss over 25 years of forest monitoring

Maura Francioni, Alessandro Bricca, Anna Andreetta, Giorgio Brunialti et autres

Forest plant diversity is threatened by global change, highlighting the importance of long-term monitoring to disentangle short-term fluctuations from directional changes of communities. We investigate changes in understory vascular plant communities over 25 years (1999-2023) in 31 Italian permanent ICP Forests plots …

Quality assurance and control in laboratories

Alfred Fürst, Anna Kowalska, Giorgio Brunialti, Nicholas Clarke et autres

Chemical analyses are an essential part of monitoring activities related to observations and measurements of nutrients and pollutants fluxes in forest ecosystems. The value of data collected under the framework of the ICP Forests programme depends to a great extent on the …

Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm.: The Multifaceted Suitability of the Lung Lichen to Monitor Forest Ecosystems

Sonia Ravera, Renato Benesperi, Elisabetta Bianchi, Giorgio Brunialti et autres

Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm. is a tripartite, broad-lobed foliose lichen usually found on bark and on epiphytic and epilithic mosses in humid forests. Currently, the species is threatened in most European countries because of its sensitivity to environmental alterations. In this paper, …

Natura 2000 network enhances the protection of rare epiphytic lichens: evidence from forest sites of Central Italy

Luisa Frati, Giorgio Brunialti

Abstract Although epiphytic lichens are widely adopted as environmental indicators, they are not yet included among the target species listed in Annex II of the Habitats Directive, to which the system of protected areas of the Natura 2000 network refers. In this …

Where are we now with European forest multi-taxon biodiversity and where can we head to?

Sabina Burrascano, Francesco Chianucci, Giovanni Trentanovi, Sebastian Kepfer‐Rojas et autres

The European biodiversity and forest strategies rely on forest sustainable management (SFM) to conserve forest biodiversity. However, current sustainability assessments hardly account for direct biodiversity indicators. We focused on forest multi-taxon biodiversity to: i) gather and map the existing information; ii) identify …

Recent Trends and Future Challenges for Lichen Biomonitoring in Forests

Luisa Frati, Giorgio Brunialti

Currently, forest ecosystems are often located in remote areas, far from direct sources of air pollution. Nonetheless, they may be affected by different types of atmospheric deposition, which can compromise their health and inner balance. Epiphytic lichens respond to air pollution and …

Microclimatic Alteration after Logging Affects the Growth of the Endangered Lichen Lobaria pulmonaria

Luca Di Nuzzo, Paolo Giordani, Renato Benesperi, Giorgio Brunialti et autres

Microclimatic conditions are important in determining lichen distribution at small scale, and may determine whether the species persist when the surrounding environmental conditions have drastically changed. This is the case with forest management, since a sudden variation of microclimatic conditions (increase of …

Testing an expanded set of sustainable forest management indicators in Mediterranean coppice area

Andrea Cutini, Marco Ferretti, Giada Bertini, Giorgio Brunialti et autres

Although coppice forests represent a significant part of the European forest area, especially across southern Countries, they received little attention within the Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) processes and scenarios, whose guidelines have been mainly designed to high forests and national scale. In …
