Abstract
""\\"Urban parks are important areas for the conservation of biodiversity. within cities, although their fauna and flora is affected by a number of anthropogenic. stressors. When such parks are located in a city as ancient as Rome,. landscape alterations can be dated back to as far as historical times. On the. other hand, irrigation channels, fountains and ponds can act as important. reservoirs of freshwater biodiversity. Our research focuses on the area of the. Caffarella Valley Park (SE sector of Rome) a portion of the Appia Antica. Regional Park (Fig. 1), protected since 1988. In the park, the semi-natural. landscape of the “Campagna Romana” (Roman countryside) and its typical. agricultural activities are still preserved. Indeed, it is a stretch of countryside. within the city dotted with archaeological remains, ponds, ditches, channels. and many springs. In particular, the Caffarella Valley Park is crossed by the. Almone River and flanked on both sides by two irrigation channels (left and. right marrana).. The aim of our research was to study the ostracod fauna in this urban. park and to investigate the relationship between ostracod and macrophyte. communities.\\"""I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
