Mount Rondinaio - Mount Giovo

Habitat
The habitats of community interest, protected by Natura 2000 Network, cover about 60% of the surface in the site Mount Rondinaio - Mount Giovo are 21, of which 5 priorities.

• Semi-natural dry grass formations and facies (i.e. rocks or sedimentary formations) covered with bushes on limestone substrate (Festuco-Brometalia) with flowering of orchids
• Grass formations with Nardus rich in species on silica substrate of mountain areas
• Active high peat bogs, lake or marsh environment where peat accumulates, plant-based material that form at the bottom of lakes as a result of the slow decomposition of plants that fall and die in the little water that characterizes this habitat
• Central European limestone
• Limestone floors; Black Ontan (Alnus glutinosa) and Ash Major or Common (Fraxinus excelsior) in the subspecies of Alno-Padion, Alnion incanae, Salicion albae
• Major or common ash forests (Fraxinus excelsior), a tree that could reach 40 mt. in height
• Natural eutrophic lakes, that is, rich in nutrients, with vegetation of Magnopotamion o Hydrocharition
• European dry and northern alpine moors
• Joint (Juniperus communis) formations on moors or meadows
• Grass formations, alpine and subalpine calcicole
• Grasslands with Bermuda grass (Molinia) on limestone, turf or clay-lemonism (Molinion caeruleae)
• Plain, mountain and alpine borders of igrofile megaphobes
• Lean grasslands from low-altitude hay with the presence of the common mouse tail (Alopecurus pratensis) and the Anis (Sanguisorba officinalis) perennial herbaceous plant wih anti-inflammatory properties
• Mountain grasslands from hay
• Transition and unstable peat bogs
• Silica ghionions of the mountain floor to the limit of perennial snows (Androsacetalia alpinae e Galeopsietalia ladani)
• Western Mediterranean gravels that have tolerance to high temperature (thermophiles)
• Limestone rock walls and silica walls with casmofitic vegetation, that is, typical vegetation that colonizes very rocky environments
• Pioneering meadows on rocky peaks
• Chestnut forests (Castanea sativa)
• Willow forests of White Willows (Salix alba) and White Poplars (Populus alba).
