abstract Vegetational study on the Neapolis (Syracuse, Sicily) archaeological area target-oriented to the preservation of the architectonical construction. In this paper the study of vegetation occurring in the archaeological area of Neapolis (Syracuse) is presented. The phytosociological analysis allowed to identification of several communities, belonging to Quercetea ilicis, Parietarietea judaicae, Adiantetea capilli-veneris, Lygeo-Stipetea, Molinio-Arrhenatheretea, Stellarietea mediae, Polygono-Poetea annuae and Stipo-Trachynietea distachyae classes. On the basis of this analysis, using the dangerousness index proposed by Signorini (1996) to evaluate the impact degree of each species on archaeological monuments. the dangerousness of each vegetation type was evaluated. |
