This study accurately reconstructs the travel and collection itineraries of a trip through the Caucasus in 1890. The botanical importance of this journey is significant, with over 10,000 specimens collected, more than 1600 taxa identified, and over …

  • The amazing travels of a great naturalist to Sarawak (Malaysia)

    Open AccessDaniele Viciani, Lorella Dell’Olmo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2021

    Odoardo Beccari (1843–1920) is considered to be one of the more important Italian naturalists of the nineteenth century, in particular for his pioneering explorations of the Malaysian Archipelago. During this period, he collected many thousands of botanical, zoological and ethno-anthropological specimens which are now conserved in natural history museums. Based on this conserved material, hundreds of species new to science have been described. In…

  • The Floodplain Woods of Tuscany

    Open AccessMatilde Gennai, Stefano Carnicelli et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2020

    The contraction of lowland forests throughout Europe began in remote times and then intensified strongly with land reclamation by agriculture and urbanization during the first half of the last century. We present a map of the Floodplain Woods of Tuscany on a scale of 1:300,000 as a synthesis of that built at the scale of 1:10,000 and the methods used to obtain it. Nearly 90% of the patches contain habitats of concern to conservation, according to…

    Open AccessDaniele Viciani, Lorella Dell’Olmo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2017

    The Massaciuccoli Lake (northern Tuscany, Italy) Natura 2000 habitat map (1:10,000) was compiled from photo-interpretation and recent phytosociological studies, integrated by field surveys of the vegetation units. Conventional geographical information system procedures were used to select and manage spatial information. The following attributes were assigned to each map polygon: (i) vegetation type, (ii) habitat typology and (iii) percentage cove…

    The island of Elba (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy) Natura 2000 habitat map (1:25,000) and the CORINE Biotopes habitat map (1:25,000) were derived from the phytosociological map of Elba integrated with recent studies and field knowledge of the vegetation units. Conventional geographical information system queries were used to manage and select the spatial information. For each map polygon, the following attributes were assigned: (i) habitat typology a…
