RICCARDO PRIMI is an academic who published a paper in 2020 entitled The dry grasslands of Abruzzo National Park, the oldest protected area in the Apennines (Central Ita. RICCARDO PRIMI published this work as part of a team: Cancellieri, Laura. Here is a description of this work: The,,Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park was established in 1923 and is considered a flagship conservation area in Italy. It includes large extensions of semi-natural grasslands, maintained by tradi-tional transhumant grazing for centuries. The patterns and drivers of grassland composition within the Park are still poorly investigated, and the scattered phytosociological data available were often based on relevés with varied and not precisely defined sizes. In order to provide for the first time a general overview of the Park's dry grasslands, we analysed a dataset of 87 relevés with a fixed size of 2 × 2 m, precisely delimited in the field and GPS-located. Specific research aims were: (1) to classify the vegetation plots into floristic-ecological types, support-ed by an analysis of mean.
