How does dune morphology shape coastal EC habitats occurrence? Aremote sensing approach using airborne LiDAR on the Mediterranean coast

Original language description

We examined the relationship between coastal habitats (sensu European Union Habitats Directive) andlocal dune morphology along a Mediterranean coastal dune system by integrating field collected vege-tation data and remotely sensed imagery. Specifically, we described the morphological profile of eachEC habitat based on the morphological variables that are most likely to affect their occurrence, includingelevation, slope, curvature, northness, eastness and sea distance. In addition, we assessed the role andstrength of each morphological variable in determining the occurrence of EC habitats.We used 394 random vegetation plots representative of six EC habitats found along the Tyrrhenian coast of central Italy. Wederived each morphological variable from a DTM (Digital Terrain Model) obtained from 2-m resolutionLiDAR (Light Detection And Range) images. The mean value of each variable was calculated at differentspatial scales using buffer areas of increasing radius (2 m, 4 m, 8 m) around each vegetation plo
