The determination of the distribution of species in the degraded area before the intervention in Borgotrebbia (Loc. Campo Santo Vecchio) with the elaboration of specific statistical models has confirmed the pedological outcomes of the soils of the site. These aspects are of particular importance for subsequent assessments of restoration works and the colonisation of plant species on reconstituted soils.
