Wetlands lead, but all ecosystems matter: quantifying conservation priorities for plant communities in agricultural landscapes

Emanuele Fanfarillo, Giovanni Bacaro, Gianluigi Bacchetta, Simonetta Bagella et autres

Agricultural landscapes are mosaics of different ecosystem types, each hosting distinct plant communities. Despite the known role of ecosystem diversification in sustaining farmland biodiversity, quantitative large-scale assessments of how different plant communities contribute to overall biodiversity within these landscapes remain limited. Here, …

Pixels and Patterns in the Sand: Decoding Coastal Dune Habitats With Multi‐Resolution CNNs

Emilia Pafumi, Claudia Angiolini, Giovanni Bacaro, Leopoldo de Simone et autres

ABSTRACT Aims Mapping coastal dune habitats through remote sensing is crucial for biodiversity conservation, but it is challenging due to the small and fragmented nature of habitat patches relative to the spatial resolution of available imagery. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), by leveraging …

Taxonomic and functional variation of carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) diversity in pioneer black pine and secondary broad-leaved Karst forests

Giovanni Bacaro, Federica Fonda, Miris Castello, Fredrick Ojija et autres

Carabid beetles are widely used as bioindicators because they respond rapidly to changes in near-ground microclimate, litter and understory structure, and habitat continuity. In the Classical Karst of the North Adriatic region, forest management is shaped by two concurrent trajectories: the aging …

Three decades later: A resurvey of vegetation biodiversity in Italian coastal dunes

Simona Sarmati, Silvia Del Vecchio, Marta Gaia Sperandii, Manuele Bazzichetto et autres

Mediterranean coastal dunes have undergone substantial transformations over the last 70 years due to increasing anthropogenic pressure and environmental change. However, most studies on dune vegetation dynamics have been conducted at local scales, limiting our understanding of long-term plant diversity trends across …

Spatial analysis of plant diversity and habitats in Italian coastal dune ecosystems to identify conservation priorities

Emilia Pafumi

Coastal sand dune ecosystems support unique plant diversity and provide essential ecosystem services, yet they are among the most threatened ecosystems worldwide due to pressures from urbanization, tourism, invasive alien species and coastal erosion. Thus, effective prioritization of conservation efforts and robust …

Different control strategies of the invasive plant Arundo donax L. have taxon-specific effects on above- and belowground biodiversity

Emanuele Fanfarillo, Claudia Angiolini, Leopoldo de Simone, Giovanni Bacaro et autres

We assessed the short-term effects of different management strategies to control the invasive plant Arundo donax on biotic communities along a channelled stream in central Italy. We applied four treatments ordered by increasing management intensity: no management (C), one-cut per year (OC), …

Short-Term Effects of Minimum Tillage and Wood Distillate Addition on Plants and Springtails in an Olive Grove

Emanuele Fanfarillo, Claudia Angiolini, Claudio Capitani, Margherita De Pasquale Picciarelli et autres

Agricultural practices significantly influence agroecosystem biodiversity, driving a growing focus on the development of environmentally sustainable management strategies. Olive (Olea europaea L.) is one of the most widely cultivated tree crops in the Mediterranean basin and other regions with a Mediterranean climate. …

Mediterranean farmland ponds as unique habitats for plant diversity across different pondscapes

Silvia Cannucci, Emanuele Fanfarillo, Simona Maccherini, Rossano Bolpagni et autres

Abstract Wetlands are among the world’s most vulnerable ecosystems. Particularly in the Mediterranean region, farmland ponds are strongly influenced by the agricultural land use in their surroundings, though supporting unique biodiversity. This study aimed to highlight the patterns of farmland pond plant …

SALTISH: The SALt-affected vegeTatIon dataset of Tuscany coaStal Habitats, central Italy

Hamid Mohammad Gholizadeh, Gianmaria Bonari, Emilia Pafumi, Andrea Bertacchi et autres

Surveying vegetation is essential for documenting plant diversity, especially for coastal vegetation that results among the most threatened ecosystems globally. To support conservation and management programs, we developed the SALt-affected vegeTatIon dataset of Tuscany coaStal Habitats (SALTISH). This dataset comprises 734 newly …
