Description
Summary:Tree avenues are a cultural, landscape and environmental asset in rural as well as urban settings. They are protected by environmental codes in different European countries. Depending on the country, there are too few studies providing understanding of the specific role tree avenues play in the preservation of biodiversity. The present paper aims at presenting their precious role, irrespective of their environment, as habitats and corridors for numerous Red List species of beetles, moths, bats, lichens and mosses. The study is not exhaustive, as the aim is to bring the contribution of tree avenues to biodiversity into light, to underline the need for further knowledge and to draw consequences for the management of avenues. The triple nature of this asset - cultural, landscape and environmental - imposes weighing up management decisions on a case-by-case basis, according to defined objectives.
