The main aim of the project is to enhance the esthetical value of landscape and to promote a low cost environmental riqualification of anthropic areas by the characterisation and the employ of local provenance wildflowers. The aim will be achieved by the followings:
- Choice of native or naturalised species belonging to their ornamental and biodiverse value and collection of the seeds in natural environment
- Study of the seed biology and production of the not yet commercially available seeds
- Biological, esthetical and functional characterisation of the species and their suitability to the intensive cultivation as a conservation and valorisation means
- Plantings in anthropic environment and evaluation of the following aspects: ornamental value, improved biodiversity level and ecological value.
The
project involves 24 partners in an integrated approach, each one with
diverse competences but with a strong coordination, leaded by the Institute
for Ecosystems Studies, CNR, Pisa. The scientific partners will provide
to the experimental research, while the public partners (town councils
and schools) will have a fundamental role in the demonstration and divulgation,
and the technical partners ( nurseries, seed company) will give the production
knowledge.
