Presenza di Myricaria germanica (L.) Desv. lungo il torrente Avisio (Trentino, Italia settentrionale)

Myricaria germanica (L.) Desv. (German tamarisk) is an integral part of the ecological dynamics of non-regulated rivers, wich are characterized by annual flooding, and low water levels in summer. During the last century damming and regulation have interrupted the original riparian dynamics, reducing the German tamarisk natural habitats. The species is endangered Myricaria germanica in the Trentino region and its distribution is concentrated along the Avisio river, where the main habitats are grave) and sandy banks. This work describes the last remaining populations of Myricaria germanica in the Trentino region.
