Harp Piemonte — BIOMOD, FRAGM on scale 1:10.000

The service illustrates the degree of potential biodiversity of the territory and identifies the main elements of the ecological network, depending on the number of species of mammals that the territory is potentially able to host, on the basis of 23 species considered, selected among the most representative in the Piedmontese territory. Areas with greater or lesser natural value are identified, areas not suitable for intrinsic characteristics (soil cover, altitude or slope) and areas degraded due to the presence of intense anthropogenic activities. The BIOMOD model has been developed according to Directive 92/43/EEC. In addition, the service highlights the FRAGM ecological model that allows you to know the degree of ecological connectivity of a territory, understood as its ability to accommodate animal species, allow its movement, and thus define its degree of fragmentation.The methodology for identifying the elements of the ecological network is currently under review and provides for the use of more recent databases. The data that can be consulted and downloadable here is therefore to be considered partially exceeded.
