Notulae to the Italian flora of algae, bryophytes, fungi and lichens: 7
In this contribution, new data concerning algae, bryophytes, fungi, and lichens of the Italian flora are presented. It includes new records and confirmations for the algae genus Chara, the bryophyte genera Cephalozia, Conardia, Conocephalum, Didymodon, Sphagnum, Tetraplodon, and Tortula, the fungal genera Endophyllum, Gymnosporangium, Microbotryum, Phragmidium, and Pluteus, and the lichen genera Candelariella, Cladonia, Flavoplaca, Lichenothelia, Peltigera, Placolecis, Rinodina, Scytinium, and Solenopsora

New national and regional bryophyte records, 52
Marchantia paleacea is a new species for the Umbria Region and is rare in central and southern Italy.
This record is in a Site of Community Importance (SCI) IT5220017 and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) of the Natura 2000 EU-wide network due to the presence of the 7220* âPetrifying springs with tufa formation (Cratoneurion)â Annexe I priority habitat. The particular environment, with a gorge and waterfall, created a very special microclimate that allowed the establishment of interesting liverworts and mosses
First overview on the 4th Annex I Habitats Report in Italy: methods, criticality, results and future prospects
Like all the other EU/28 countries, in 2019 Italy developed the 4th Italian Report
ex-Art. 17 on the conservation status of the Habitats of Annex I to the 92/43/EEC
Directive. Institutional referent of the process, on behalf of the Ministry for
Environment, Land and Sea Protection (MATTM), was the Italian Institute for
Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA) with the scientific support of the
Italian Botanical Society (SBI). A huge working group composed of thematic and
territorial experts was formed with the task to collect, analyse, validate the data
resulting from Annex I Habitat monitoring in Italy for the period 2013-2018, whose
collection is in charge to the regional administrations. Data on 124 types of terrestrial
and inland water Habitats present in Italy have been processed in order to assess their
overall conservation status in the Biogeographic Regions of occurrence. The carried out
activity led to the compilation of 278 assessment sheets. The work included a critical
analysis of the data and a broad scientific confrontation aimed at finding
methodologically robust solutions to fill the gaps. The work was structured so as to
guarantee the traceability of the information and to allow the collection of "gray"
literature and scientific articles, phytosociological surveys and unpublished material of
the specialists, composing a substantial pool of data useful for starting a long-term
process to support the next reporting cycles. Cartographic outcomes, associated
databases and additional data used for the assessments will be available online on the
ISPRA Portal as soon as the validation process by the European Commission will be
completed. A freely accessible online archive of phytosociological surveys
representative of the various Annex I Habitats in Italy is being set up within the national
"VegItaly" database, managed by the Italian Society of Vegetation Science, by way of a
dedicated archive named "HAB_IT". Such a long-term vision, oriented to the storage
and enhancement of knowledge, represents an important innovative aspect and a
significant progress towards the construction of an effective monitoring system for the
conservation of Annex I Habitats in Italy

Il supporto della SISV alla realizzazione di un manuale nazionale per il monitoraggio degli habitat della Direttiva 92/43/EEC in Italia.
A partire dall'entrata in vigore della Direttiva 92/43/EEC, la sorveglianza dello stato di conservazione degli habitat elencati nell'Allegato I ed il relativo monitoraggio periodico a intervalli di sei anni sono diventati un obbligo per tutti i paesi membri dell'UE, in base a quanto previsto negli Articoli 11 e 17. Nel 2011 Ăš stato pubblicato un documento che fornisce le linee guida di riferimento europee per il monitoraggio di habitat e specie (Evans & Arvela 2011). Su questa base metodologica, la SocietĂ Italiana di Scienza della Vegetazione (SISV), avvalendosi di un ampio gruppo di soci esperti, ha avviato un dibattito interno su principi, criteri, parametri e strumenti per il monitoraggio degli habitat di Allegato I e dei tipi di vegetazione in essi rappresentati. Il progetto Ăš stato promosso dal Ministero dell'Ambiente e della Tutela del Territorio e del Mare e coordinato dall'Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale, e si trova al momento in una fase prossima alla conclusione. A partire dalla documentazione giĂ prodotta a livello nazionale per gli habitat italiani (Biondi et al., 2009, 2012, 2014; Genovesi et al., 2014), diversi aspetti critici sono stati esaminati attraverso una discussione scientifica ampiamente condivisa. In particolare, sono stati affrontati: gli aspetti legati alla scelta di strumenti adeguati per valutare i parametri area, struttura e funzione, prospettive future; il concetto di "specie tipica"; i metodi di campionamento habitat-specifici appropriati. Il protocollo sviluppato si pone come uno strumento pratico ed efficace, scientificamente valido e in linea con gli standard metodologici internazionali. Il suo utilizzo permetterĂ una raccolta armonizzata di dati su scala nazionale, rendendo possibile una valutazione comparata dello stato di conservazione di ciascun habitat
