“…Much of the area is protected via the establishment of protected areas (Site of Community Importance IT8030036 "Vesuvio", Site of Community Importance IT8030021 "Monte Somma", Special Protection Area IT8030037 "Vesuvio e Monte Somma", and Vesuvius National Park). In accordance with the standard data forms of the abovementioned Natura 2000 sites and with recent updates (Tavilla et al 2022), the following habitats of community interest (Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC) are reported: 8310 (Caves not open to the public), 8320 (Fields of lava and natural excavations), 9260 (Castanea sativa woods), 9540 (Mediterranean pine forests with endemic Mesogean pines), and 9340 (Quercus ilex and Quercus rotundifolia forests).…”

This paper illustrates the results of a survey aimed at deepening knowledge on vegetation in which Festuca lachenalii and Ophioglossum lusitanicum were recently discovery on Mt. Vesuvius (Italy) after about 200 and 150 years from the last observation, respectively. Both species were previously thought to be locally extinct. These noteworthy microphytes are rare and poorly documented species within their global distribution range. They were found within a habitat of community interest (Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC), where they are subject to extensive anthropogenic impact and require urgent actions for their in situ conservation.

“…This area is a biodiversity hotspot that hosts a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, wetlands, and coastal zones, each with its own distinct ecological characteristics [4]. Accurate monitoring and observation of these habitats are necessary to understand the dynamics of the ecosystem and develop effective conservation management strategies, especially for habitats of European interest [5,6]. In recent times, drone technology has significantly transformed habitat mapping and monitoring, especially when it comes to conserving plant biodiversity [7].…”

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, present a cost-effective solution for the swift collection of data from vast and remote areas that are otherwise difficult to access. The Mediterranean Basin, known for being a hot spot for plant biodiversity, hosts several habitats and taxa of significant naturalistic value. However, many of these areas are often inaccessible to botanists, making exploration and research challenging. The aim of this paper is to involve the utilization of drone surveys and open-source software for botanical research. Our primary goal is to show the effectiveness of these tools in the field and demonstrate their practical application in Natura 2000 sites. The protected area chosen for this research is Rocca di Novara, situated in northeastern Sicily. Thanks to our drone investigations, we were able to capture images of the mountain’s side that is inaccessible to humans. This allowed us to observe the habitat of some species in detail. One of the most fascinating discoveries was the reappearance of Saxifraga callosa subsp. australis, which had not been confirmed in this area for over 140 years. Using drones for botanical research can boost field research, making monitoring easier and more cost-effective over time, especially in Natura 2000 sites.
