Myricaria germanica in quattro bacini idrografici alpini dell’Italia nord-orientale

Myricaria germanica in four alpine river basins of north-eastern Italy
The article provides a picture, updated to 2017, of the presence, abundance, distribution and characteristics of the populations of Myricaria germanica in northeastern Italy in 146 sites distributed in four watersheds (Adige, Brenta, Piave, Tagliamento), subject to different levels of natural and anthropogenic disturbance, but comparable in terms of climate, geology and biogeography. It describes the influence of human activities on river geomorphology and its interactions with M. germanica scrub (habitat Natura 2000 3230), assessing its current threats and future prospects.
