Study Area Description
- Descriptor
-
The study area is located in the ‘Foresta del Cansiglio’, mainly in the Natura 2000 Site (IT3310006) in North-Eastern Italy. The reserve covers approximately 2,713 ha. The Cansiglio plateau is a typical karstic system, known as a polje (from Slavic languages “field”), which appears as a vast plain bordered by a crown of mountains with squared and very steep sides. The entire system emerges from the Venetian-Friulian plain, in the orographic unit of the South-Eastern Prealps. In the bottom of the Cansiglio plateau the Picea abies forest develops, while climbing along the rugged slope of the Friulian side the Fagus sylvatica forest mixed with Abies alba occurs, and, still proceeding upward until the subalpine plane is the terminal pure Fagus sylvatica forest.
