dunes

Shifting dunes along the shoreline with Ammophila arenaria. The coverage rate of vegetation can reach the 50-70%.

Conservation Status Key Indicators:

Range: the habitat may be of areal (small extension), linear or point type

Structure and functions: vegetation coverage; area, shape, and connections among patches

Typical Species: Ammophila arenaria

grasslands

Semi-natural grasslands and scrubland facies on calcareous substrates. One of the richest and most present habitats, its existence is strongly connected with grazing.

Conservation Status Key Indicators:

Range: the habitat is of areal type

Structure and functions: vegetation coverage; area, shape, and connections among patches

Typical Species: target species at regional level (Important Orchid Sites)

forests

Apennine beech forests with Taxus and Iles. This habitat is characterized by a stratification of

different levels of vegetation at different heights.

Conservation Status Key Indicators:

Range: the habitat is of areal type

Structure and functions: vegetation coverage; size and distance among patches, dendritic parameters

Typical Species: Fagus sylvatica, Taxus baccata, Ilex aquifolium

screes

Alpine screes. Fixed and mobile screes with pioneering and persistent vegetation.

Conservation Status Key Indicators:

Range: the habitat may be of areal, much less frequently, linear or point type

Structure and functions: vegetation coverage; size and distance among patches; debris mobility

Typical Species: target species at regional level
