Piani di gestione dei SIC della Comunità Montana Alto Chiascio – Umbria: il caso studio del SIC Monti Maggio e Nero (IT5210014)

To preserve habitats and species of community interest, the European Commission issued 93/43/EEC "Habitat" Directive, that instituted Natura 2000 european ecological network. To preserve the sites belonging to this network the directive provides, among the other conservation measures, the editing of management plans. An example of implementation of a management plan from a geobotanical point of view is here presented for the SCI "Monti Maggio e Nero" (Umbria-Marches Apennines-Italy). A phytosociological analysis, necessary to edit a vegetation map and a Habitats of community interest map, was carried out. To analyze and synthesize the main aspects concerning habitats conservation and to give indications aimed at management of the site, four matixes were carried out: list of Habitats of community interest; synthesis of general analyses about habitats; characterization of menace factors and impact evaluation; main menaces and management analysis.
