Our cities are habitats full of surprises and many different species, but urban biodiversity is still a fairly unexplored field. Mollusks such as snails and slugs are excellent indicators of environmental quality, especially at the urban level, as they play a crucial role in food chains, soil generation and nutrient recycling.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f4dafc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1f4dafc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20da528 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"20da528\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/projects\/siena-biodivercity-la-biodiversita-urbana-a-siena\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Siena BiodiverCity<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a1ccb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"67a1ccb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/projects\/siena-biodivercity-la-biodiversita-urbana-a-siena\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biodisseminazioni.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/siena.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1465\" alt=\"Screenshot of the website www.inaturalist.org\/projects\/siena-biodivercity-la-biodiversita-urbana-a-siena\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biodisseminazioni.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/siena.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.biodisseminazioni.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/siena-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/www.biodisseminazioni.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/siena-700x1024.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.biodisseminazioni.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/siena-768x1124.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a72ca1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a72ca1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Siena BiodiverCity is a scientific outreach, education and research project dedicated to Siena&#8217;s urban biodiversity through a citizen science approach.
