The case study of SCI (Site of Community Importance) of “Monte Vigese” (IT4050013) was conducted to develop appropriate techniques for quantifying and analysing the landscape temporal pattern since 1807. The SCI is located in the Emilia-Romagna region (Northern Apennines, Italy) and covers 617 ha, within the basin of the Reno river. Elevation ranges from 495 to 1089 m, and the bioclimate has submediterranean features; the geological substrate consists mostly of sandstone and in some part clay. Vegetation includes prevailingly coppices where Castanea sativa is widespread. Methods were based on geographical landscape change analysis, using old cadastral maps (1807, 1924) and a recent phytosociological map. Maps were analyzed by a diachronic GIS. The database for this GIS is discussed in detail.

Abstract
The case study of SCI (Site of Community Importance) of “Monte Vigese” (IT4050013) was conducted to develop appropriate techniques for quantifying and analysing the landscape temporal pattern since 1807. The SCI is located in the Emilia-Romagna region (Northern Apennines, Italy) and covers 617 ha, within the basin of the Reno river. Elevation ranges from 495 to 1089 m, and the bioclimate has submediterranean features; the geological substrate consists mostly of sandstone and in some part clay. Vegetation includes prevailingly coppices where Castanea sativa is widespread. Methods were based on geographical landscape change analysis, using old cadastral maps (1807, 1924) and a recent phytosociological map. Maps were analyzed by a diachronic GIS. The database for this GIS is discussed in detail.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
