“…Given the relevance of the two checklists of native and alien vascular flora of Italy (Bartolucci et al 2018a;Galasso et al 2018a), the mobilization of their rich content after their publication in paper-printed form was a further step (Peruzzi 2018). Data mobilization is the focus of several efforts in biodiversity informatics, since it became evident that data stored in the form of journal articles need to be extracted, organized in line with appropriate standards, and aggregated into online databases.…”

“…Their vision, however, had not the luck it deserved, and presently Italy still lacks a national network of databases for botanical data. In 2005, the first edition of the checklist of the Italian vascular flora ( Conti et al 2005 ) was an opportunity for members of the Working Group “Floristics, Systematics, and Evolution” of the Italian Botanical Society to establish an effective network of scientific collaborations ( Peruzzi 2018 ) for updating the list and distributional data up to 2007 ( Conti et al 2007 ). Other important collaborative efforts followed ( Celesti-Grapow et al 2009a , b , 2010 ; Peruzzi et al 2015 , 2019 ; Brundu et al 2017 ; Orsenigo et al 2018 ), so that – after 13 years – the time was ripe for an updating of taxonomic, and geographic knowledge on the Italian vascular flora.…”

Digital data concerning the flora of Italy are largely fragmented among different resources hosted on different platforms, and often with different data standards, which are neither connected by a common access point, nor by web services, thus constituting a relevant obstacle to data access and usage. Taxonomic incongruences add a further complication. This paper describes “FlorItaly”, an online information system which allows to access and query updated information on the checklist of the flora of Italy, aiming at becoming an aggregator for Italian botanical resources. “FlorItaly” was developed in a collaborative effort by more than 50 taxonomists, with the support of the Italian Botanical Society, and of Project “Dryades” (University of Trieste), to provide a better and reliable organization of botanical knowledge in Italy, as well as a relevant simplification for data retrieval, and a further stimulus towards a more collaborative approach in botanical research.

“…A flora is a useful source of information for biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies (D'Antraccoli et al 2022b). For these reasons, a satisfactory floristic knowledge of a territory is crucial for many other applications in plant science (Peruzzi 2018). In floristic studies, it is very important to have a 'starting hypothesis' concerning the number of taxa expected in a study area.…”

A list of the vascular flora occurring in the municipality of Empoli (province of Firenze, Tuscany) is provided. The list is based on a bibliographic analysis and on field studies carried out in the years 2018–2022. A total of 757 specific and subspecific taxa currently occur in the study area (including 117 aliens), plus 51 cultivated taxa. Azolla filiculoides Lam., Prunus cerasifera Ehrh., and Veronica filiformis Sm. should be considered as naturalized aliens in Tuscany.

Particular attention has been paid to the creation of taxonomic-nomenclatural databases (Bisby 2000;Peruzzi 2018), now available online, for the worldwide and local floras (e.g. POWO 2022; Euro+Med 2006 onwards; Portal to the Flora of Italy 2022).…”

The implementation of the Habitat Directive (Dir. 92/43/EEC) entails gathering a large amount of field data. As for monitoring activities, along with spatial data (GIS data), tabular data regarding habitat, plant and animal species population size, and pressures and threats acting on them are collected. In this paper we describe two relational databases designed to ensure a correct and efficient data storage for the habitats listed in Annex I and the Plant species listed in the Annexes II, IV and V. The two relational Databases were designed in Microsoft Access format. In both databases, “Lookup Tables” related to the taxon were used to avoid replication and to centralize the data. Data Tables were used to store the raw data deriving from monitoring activities. The adopted databases allow the storage of collected data in a standard and homogeneous format and make data entry easier to users, reducing input errors. The databases comply with the mandatory actions of art. 11 and 17 of the Habitat Directive and give a prompt reply to the basic requests of users. Finally, the databases aim to provide citizens and/or other end users with all the data gathered in a single regional repository, with zoological data in addition.
