Characterization of Thymus vulgaris subsp. vulgaris Community by Using a Multidisciplinary Approach: A Case Study from Central Italy

Thymus vulgaris L. is an emblematic species of the Mediterranean tradition. As a crop, this has been spread wherever possible by man around World. Often escaped from cultivations, defining its natural environment and limits range very much complicated as these have greatly altered influenced human presence, in positive or negative way. In addition to ecology biogeography studies, we carried out research understand whether, multidisciplinary (pan-ecological) approach, case study Th. subsp. community can be considered naturalised origin. An ecological, bio-geographical, floristic review on reported help discussion. Our could good way improve scientific discussions applications even for other places situations. Some outlook proposals are management conservation measures, order foster our ″green-sphere″ protection strategies through plants.
