Summary
A significant increase in geobotanical knowledge of the Dolomites has been documented, particularly at the floristic level, with new taxa discovered since early studies in the 1970s. The research highlights the importance of biodiversity and landscape conservation in this UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized in 2009 for its geological and natural values. It emphasizes the need for a robust network of protected areas to safeguard these unique ecosystems from tourism-driven exploitation. The study underscores the central role of geobotanical knowledge in guiding conservation efforts amid evolving environmental dynamics.
