NOMINATION OF THE DOLOMITES FOR INSCRIPTION ON THE WORLD NATURAL HERITAGE LIST UNESCO the great floristic and vegetal value of the Dolomites sites includes the following point: 96 Biodiversity. Above all on the southern massifs, not only is the number of species very high per surface unit (floristic wealth), but there are also vegetal communities that are endemic and exclusive to these massifs, the survival of which is partly due to the glaciations that have conserved important elements of Tertiary origin. The major biological wealth of the outer chain is above all confirmed as regards the many invertebrate groups. The vascular floristic heritage of the Dolomites area includes about 2,400 species. Excluding the valley floor areas and those outside the nominated area, the number is reduced to about 1,700, which is equivalent to that of the entire British Isles. In the territory of the Parco Nazionale Dolomiti Bellunesi alone about 1,350 species have been recorded, which is a very high number indeed, equal to about 25% of the entire heritage of the nation including islands. The Alps are an important biogeographical region with high specific biodiversity and biocenosis (an ecoregion also recognized by the WWF and the site of a centre of plant diversity - see Smith G., J. Jakubowska. 2000. A global overview of protected areas on the world heritage list of particular importance for biodiversity. UNEP, WCMC, WH, IUCN. Cambridge, UK ). Endemism. The massifs of the southeastern sector in particular are the richest, also qualitatively, in endemic species of great interest, since they contain species that have survived from pre-glacial times. The value of this area is affected by the important influence of both the refugial Arctic-Al pine species that arrived during the Quaternary glaciations, and the species gravitating from the east (Dinaric, Illyrian, Pontic, Steppe) that arrived in the warmer and/or drier post-glacial periods. Associations and habitats. The Dolomiti Bellunesi, for example, have no less than 55 forest type units, representing more than 50% of the whole Veneto Region including the plain. In all the sites proposed, habitats of Community interest are to be found, and some of the sites contain many habitats considered as priorities by Annex 1 to the Habitat Directive 92/43/EEC. Ecosystem dynamics in progress. One factor worthy of note, involved in the more interesting ecosystem dynamics, is the abandon or diminished use of the high pastures, where progressive acidification of the upper layers of soil can be observed. Cypripedium calceolus.
NOMINATION OF THE DOLOMITES FOR INSCRIPTION ON THE WORLD NATURAL HERITAGE LIST UNESCO 97 In addition, within the nominated properties, the following vascular species are on the “IUCN Global red list”: Eryngium alpinum (V), Arenaria huteri, Rhizobotrya alpina, Sempervivum dolomiticum, Saxifraga facchinii, Cytisus emeriflorus, Campanula morettiana, Physoplexis comosa, Artemisia nitida (R), Gladiolus palustris, Knautia persicina (I). And in the Bern Convention there are: Campanula morettiana, Physoplexis comosa, Cypripedium calceolus, Primula spectabilis, Eryngium alpinum. Moreover, it should also be taken into consideration that a number of endemic species that have recently been discovered, for example Primula recubariensis (Piccole Dolomiti) and Pinguicula poldinii (Dolomiti Friulane, Vette di Feltre), have not officially been classified based on their extinction risk vulnerability. In conclusion, the present-day flora and plant legacy is the result of a complex historical and geological succession of events and human farming activities. The recent and profound changes display intensive dynamics and a good capacity to meet the impact of weather changes as well as the intrinsic fragility of several habitats. The emergence of protected areas (national and regional parks, biotopes, SICs and oases…) should represent a valid support for organizing a network that can actively and passively protect the most significant realms. It would not be enough if there wasn’t also a system of ecological corridors and planning was done with appropriate tools. As part of a plan to protect biodiversity, the Dolomite region, whose nomination as a natural world heritage - is being proposed to UNESCO, represents an especially privileged experimental territory. Abandonment of the mountains, accentuated in the past few decades, carries risks not only for the populations of the valley floor, but also in terms of conservation of peculiar eco-systems that have made the Dolomite landscape famous.
