Effectiveness of the Natura 2000 network in conserving Mediterranean coastal dune habitats
Original language description
Though protected areas are recognized as the cornerstone of global conservation efforts, their effectiveness in safeguarding biodiversity is currently debated. In particular, studies evaluating the counterfactual influence of protection status on community metrics derived from field-collected data are still scarce. In this paper, using data from a resurveying study, we assessed the contribution of the European Natura 2000 network to maintaining and/or improving through time habitat quality and functional integrity in Mediterranean coastal dune habitats, which appear among the most threatened ecosystems worldwide. Using multiple regression techniques, we tested the influence of protection status on habitat loss and on 10-15 years changes in the richness and cover of two highly informative plant groups: focal and alien species. Next to a substantial habitat loss, we observed an overall decrease in focal species richness and cover, whereas alien species were stable or slightly increasing, depending o
