Fig. 3

Zoomed section of the study area over the extent of the projection area. The main map depicts an example of the sampling transects surveyed to detect Kentish Plover’s nests, superimposed to the land cover categories used in the modelling phase (labels reported in the legend with an asterisk refer to land cover categories occurring in the study area but not within the extent of the zoomed section). Due to scale limitations, we represented parallel transects as single orange belts (a zoomed detail of the parallel transects is provided in the circular inset). The inset in the upper right corner shows the spatial reference of the study area (i.e., the red line), along with the location of the detail reported in the main map (i.e., the yellow dot). The numbered polygons in green refer to the three Natura 2000 sites insisting over the study area (i.e., 1: Foce Trigno – Marina di Petacciato [IT7228221]; 2: Foce Biferno – Litorale di Campomarino [IT7222216]; 3: Foce Saccione – Bonifica Ramitelli [IT7222217]).
