1. Assessing Eco-Physiological Patterns of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle and Differences with Native Vegetation Using Copernicus Satellite Data on a Mediterranean Island

Authors: F. Marzialetti, V. Lozano, A. GroรŸe-Stoltenberg, L. Podda, G. Brundu
Journal: Ecological Informatics, 2025 (Open Access)
DOI/Link: Link not available

Summary:
This study uses high-resolution Copernicus satellite data to evaluate the eco-physiological behavior of the invasive tree Ailanthus altissima compared to native vegetation on a Mediterranean island. The research highlights significant differences in vegetation indices, phenological traits, and water-use patterns. The findings provide critical insight into the invasive potential of A. altissima and suggest targeted remote-sensing approaches for early detection and management in Mediterranean ecosystems.

2. Functional and Habitat Characteristics Associated with Nativeness, Rarity, and Invasiveness in the Aquatic Vascular Flora of Sardinia

Authors: M. Fois, A. Cuena-Lombraรฑa, J.N. Boyd, L. Podda, G. Bacchetta
Journal: Global Ecology and Conservation, 2025 (Open Access)
DOI/Link: Link not available
Citations: 0
Summary:
This research investigates the ecological traits and habitat preferences of aquatic vascular plants in Sardinia. By analyzing traits linked with nativeness, rarity, and invasiveness, the authors aim to support conservation and management efforts. The study reveals that invasive species tend to exhibit broader ecological tolerances and reproductive strategies, posing threats to native aquatic ecosystems. This functional trait analysis offers a framework for assessing plant behavior in freshwater habitats under changing environmental pressures.

3. Tracing the Emergence of Domesticated Grapevine in Italy

Authors: M. Ucchesu, S. Ivorra, V. Bonhomme, A. Usai, L. Bouby
Journal: PLoS ONE, 2025
DOI/Link: Link not available
Citations: 0
Summary:
This archaeobotanical study employs molecular and morphometric evidence to trace the early domestication of grapevine (Vitis vinifera) in Italy. Through analysis of ancient seeds and plant remains, the authors provide evidence for independent domestication events and early viticulture practices. The interdisciplinary approach connects cultural practices with evolutionary plant biology, offering a new timeline and geographic perspective on grape domestication in the western Mediterranean.

4. The First Inventory of Sardinian Mining Vascular Flora

Authors: M.E. Boi, M. Sarigu, M. Fois, M. Casti, G. Bacchetta
Journal: Plants, 2025 (Open Access)
DOI/Link: Link not available
Citations: 0
Summary:
This paper presents the first systematic inventory of vascular plants in mining areas across Sardinia. Mining landscapes are often biodiversity hotspots due to their unique soil chemistry and disturbance regimes. The study identifies species adapted to metal-rich and degraded soils, including several endemic and threatened taxa. This inventory contributes to ecological restoration planning and highlights the conservation value of post-industrial habitats.

Conclusion

Prof. Gianluigi Bacchetta embodies the values of scientific excellence, global collaboration, and lifelong commitment to biodiversity conservation. His exceptional academic record, mentorship legacy, and leadership in both national and international conservation efforts make him a prime candidate for a Lifetime Achievement Award.
