Abstract

The EVSItalia Database HABITAT OF ITALY (GIVD ID EU-DIT-018) contains 5,441 releves (including 2,422 taxon names). 58% of the releves come from the scientific literature; the remaining 42% have been collected by the authors during several field campaigns carried out between 2001 and 2011. Phytosociological investigation followed the methods described by Westhoff and van der Maarel and Braun-Blanquet. The location of the releves was selected in relation to the homogeneity of the physical features, vegetation structure and species distribution. According to these criteria different kinds of habitats were sampled in the Italian territory: sand dunes, wetlands, woodlands, shrublands and grassland (from the coast to the Alpine belt) etc. The main focus of the database is to collect and store bibliographic releves of Italian forest vegetation. The database was created using TURBOVEG.
