Doss Trento

Special Area of Conservation - SAC

A characteristic rounded hill, rising near Trento in the Adige Valley, formed of Eocene limestone, bordered on almost all sides by vertical limestone walls and ledges.
It is a site of great environmental importance, both for its gemorphological and botanical and faunal characteristics, and is very representative of the forest ecosystems of the hillside.

Description

The vegetation consists of thermophilous deciduous woods (Doss Trento is the 'locus classicus' of the Orno-Ostryetum association), while on the ledges there are strips of arid grasslands, steppe-like on the northern slopes and sub-Mediterranean on the southern slopes.
Habitats of special interest not included in Annex I of Directive 92/43/EEC are present, in particular: woods of the Orno-Ostryetum (locus classicus) (60%).
The site is also of significant importance for the nesting, stopping and/or wintering of bird species that are protected or in strong decline, and/or have a localised distribution in the Alps.
Presence of invertebrates of the broadleaf forests of the basal plain in good natural condition.
