Bioclimatic Map of Sardinia

The new Bioclimatic Map of Sardinia was published almost one year ago, and was realized by Dipartimento Meteoclimatico dell’ARPAS con il Dipartimento di Scienze della Natura e del Territorio dell’Università degli Studi di Sassari e la Scuola di Scienze Agrarie, Forestali, Alimentari e Ambientali dell’Università degli Studi della Basilicata

The Map reveals a mosaic of different climatic areas :

Two macrobioclimates (Mediterranean pluviseasonal oceanic and Temperate oceanic), one macrobioclimatic variant (Submediterranean), and four classes of continentality (from weak semihyperoceanic to weak semicontinental), eight thermotypic horizons (from lower thermomediterranean to upper supratemperate) and seven ombrotypic horizons (from lower dry to lower hyperhumid) were identified, resulting in a combination of 43 isobioclimates. The resulting map represents a useful environmental stratum, for regional planning, ecological modeling and biodiversity conservation.
