Diversity patterns of plants, fungi and arthropods were studied in 4 forest sites in the Provinces of Bolzano and Trento (Italian Alps). Two deciduous mixed forests at low altitude (560 and 680 m.), and two spruce forests close to the timber line (1750 and 1780 m) were sampled: 2351 species were identified. Data on climate, land use and stress in the forests were correlated with species diversity. Species richness was higher in the deciduous forests, and a great turnover of species occurred between the deciduous and coniferous stands. Similar paterns in some diversity parameters were recorded

Abstract
Diversity patterns of plants, fungi and arthropods were studied in 4 forest sites in the Provinces of Bolzano and Trento (Italian Alps). Two deciduous mixed forests at low altitude (560 and 680 m.), and two spruce forests close to the timber line (1750 and 1780 m) were sampled: 2351 species were identified. Data on climate, land use and stress in the forests were correlated with species diversity. Species richness was higher in the deciduous forests, and a great turnover of species occurred between the deciduous and coniferous stands. Similar paterns in some diversity parameters were recordedFile in questo prodotto:
