Abstract

A synthesis map (scale of 1: 300,000) of the Monti Sibillini group (Central Italy), which represents contemporaneously the principal environmental and vegetation characteristics of the territory studied, is presented. This map of the potential vegetation also contains phytosociological (vegetation typology), ecological (environmental system and altitudinal belt) and phytogeographic information (chorology of the associations), and so constitutes an objective foundation for dividing the territory in ecological-environmental terms and for identifying environmental units necessary for landscape planning.
