The Dolichens database: the lichen biota of the Dolomites

“… Study area of the project. The core area (dark orange) is wider than the SOIUSA definition (black line, Marazzi 2005 ). It includes all the 9 UNESCO systems (purple) and it extends southward to the Prealps including the Little Dolomites as well, retracing the historical definition (dotted black line, Bosellini 1989 ).…”

“…Description : The Dolichens system hosts georeferenced occurrence records of lichens in the Dolomites, from the 19 th century onwards. The geographical delimitation of the Dolomites region was, however, not simple, since several contrasting definitions exist ( Bentivoglio and De Simoni 1980 ; Bosellini 1989 ; Marazzi 2005 ; Messner and Tappeiner 2010 ). In this study, a core area was selected (Fig.…”

“…In this study, a core area was selected (Fig. 1 ), which is wider than the most common geographical definition for the Dolomites provided by the Partition of the Alps and the SOIUSA ( Marazzi 2005 ). It spans an area of 11,735 km 2 , encompassing the territories surrounding the 9 UNESCO systems ( Messner and Tappeiner 2010 ), thereby incorporating the Friulian and Brenta Dolomites, extending southward to the Venetian and Carnic Prealps, in order for us to be able to include the area of the “Little Dolomites” ( Bosellini 1989 ) as well.…”
