The Castelporziano Presidential Estate, a State Nature Reserve of roughly 6,000 hectares covered by natural forests, with over 30 years of field data collection is a precious data hub that might contribute to better understand the effects of Climate Change abiotic and biotic-related stress on natural vegetation and, eventually, to their ecosystem services provision. This research presents on-going studies on plant-environment...

Aim Land use and land cover (LULC) change is the main driver of biodiversity loss, causing habitat loss and fragmentation that hinders species movement and negatively impacts populations. While habitat fragments are structurally disconnected, functional connectivity can still occur depending on the species' dispersal abilities. Incorporating landscape connectivity into restoration planning helps identify strategic areas signif...
