Vegetation survey and plant landscape mapping of the SCI IT9140002 "Litorale Brindisino" (Puglia, Southern Italy)

Abstract

A vegetation survey of the SCI IT9140002 - "Litorale Brindisino" (Apulia Region, Italy), with a focus on the coastal environments, along with vegetationand habitat maps, are here presented. The SCI is a coastal site characterized by dunes and salt marshes and, landwards, by garrigues, maquis andgrasslands. The coastal belt is characterized by a highly fragmented landscape, because of anthropogenic pressures and coastal erosion. The vegetationwas studied according to the phytosociological method and the survey led to the identification of 22 plant communities belonging to 11 syntaxonomicclasses. Vegetation and habitat maps were digitized in ArcGis 10.2 from recent orthophotos in combination with topographical maps, at a scale of1:5,000. The presence of several complex vegetation mosaics was highlighted.
