“…Natura 2000 habitats have been monitored and examined from different perspective for example conservation priority [9], historical database [10] and conservation status [11]. Recently both microwave [12] and optical [13] data sets are used for monitoring of Natura 2000 habitats on flat terrain.…”

The exploitation of X-band imagery is currently being used in the field of agriculture for the discrimination of crop types and is also recently addressed for challenging tasks such as surface roughness and soil moisture retrieval. We investigated the potential of multi-temporal COSMO-SkyMed data for the monitoring of Natura 2000 habitats in alpine region. Short revisit time of currently available VHR synthetic aperture radar instruments (like TerraSAR-X, COSMO-SkyMed etc.) and their all-weather (day/ night) image acquisition capability provides an additional advantage of continuous monitoring of nature conservation sites in particular which are small in size. Preliminary analysis of VV and VH signals indicates a predominant effect of attenuation with respect to the volume contribution as expected in case of X-band for the reduced penetration capabilities in the canopy. Significant changes in the VV signals are mainly ascribed to grazing/mowing event which reduces the canopy layer and then the signal attenuation. The final results are in agreement with the ancillary data (Normalized Vegetation Index (NDVI)) and management rule record for Natura 2000 habitats present in the alpine region.

t r a c tOptimizing the multiple uses of land represents a challenge for today's governments and land managers.In particular, protected area planning should satisfy the demand for multiple land uses, while offering optimal protection of our natural resources. The present research aims at providing park's managers, as well as other stakeholders and decision makers, with a scientifically sound and practical approach to zoning protection levels and supporting the strategic planning phase in nature conservation. This paper thus proposes and tests the development of an indicators-based spatial Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis for a complex territorial system with exceptional multiple values. As a result, key conservation priorities and warning spots are identified to support the subsequent decision-making phase. The innovative value of the research stems not only from the integrated methodological approach based on the combination between spatial analysis, indicators systems and the traditional SWOT analysis, but also from the contextual characteristics and physical extension of the area under investigation. Moreover, the integrated and innovative framework proposed in the paper has also international significance, thanks to the possibility of replicating the research strategy and methodological approach in other contexts.

“…Every species plays a distinct role in the functioning and maintenance of ecological systems as main providers of resources on which human development depends (Xing et al, 2009, Tisdell, 2011, Schetke et al, 2012, the preservation of biodiversity being essential for the survival of all forms of life, including benthic macroinvertebrates as an indisputable trophic link (Azrina et al, 2006;Yoshimura, 2008;Arthington et al, 2010;Ohl et al, 2010). Beginning with 1992, the European Union has launched the network of nature conservation Natura 2000 in order not only to protect the natural environment but also to preserve the natural richness in the long term (Marcer et al, 2010;Velázquez et al, 2010). The DPSIR framework (Drivers -Pressure -State -Impact -Response) stands for an appropriate framework towards this direction.…”

Key-words:caddisflies, biodiversity, Natura 2000, DPSIR, RomaniaThe implementation of some strategies such as DPSIR framework may lead to a better coordination at both local and national level with a view to maintaining biodiversity and quality of water bodies. The different sensibility of the benthic macroinvertebrates has been used in determining the manner in which these communities are being influenced by the socioeconomic development, in the end modifying the biodiversity. The present study aims at presenting a list concerning the different species of caddisflies identified in the larva phase in Natura 2000 site Lower Gorge of Mureş river, to draw attention on existing threats regarding the quality of aquatic ecosystems based on the indentified caddisflies species and also to propose a series of conservation measures considered essential to the sustainable development of socio-ecological complexes in the target area. The sample collecting points were represented by 13 stations used to identify the caddisflies species in the larva phase. There were identified 20 species included in a number of 7 families. The most frequent species were Hydropsyche instabilis and Hydropsyche fulvipes (qualitative samples), and Hydropsyche instabilis, Hydropsyche fulvipes and Ecclisopteryx madida (quantitative samples), respectively. RÉSUMÉLe rôle du cadre conceptuel DPSIR : une étude de cas concernant les menaces et les mesures de conservation pour les trichoptères en Roumanie Mots-clés :trichoptères, biodiversité, Natura 2000, DPSIR, RoumanieLa mise en oeuvre de certaines stratégies telles que le cadre DPSIR peut conduire à une meilleure coordination au niveau local et national en vue de préserver la biodiversité et la qualité des masses d'eau. La sensibilité variable des macroinvertébrés benthiques a été utilisée pour déterminer la manière dont ces communautés sont influencées par le développement socioéconomique, modifiant finalement la biodiversité. La présente étude vise à pré-senter une liste concernant les différentes espèces de trichoptères identifiés en phase larvaire dans le site Natura 2000 de la partie inférieure des gorges de la rivière Mures, pour attirer l'attention sur les menaces existantes concernant la qualité des écosystèmes aquatiques en fonction des espèces de trichoptères repérées et également de proposer une série de mesures de conservation considérées comme essentielles pour le développement durable des complexes socio-écologiques dans la zone cible.
