Sulcis

Il Sulcis (Maurreddìa in sardo) è un territorio che si estende nella porzione sud-occidentale dell'Isola, parte integrante della regione storico-geografica del Sulcis-Iglesiente. Prende il nome dall'antica città punica di Sulki o Sulci  (oggi Sant'Antioco).  La delimitazione del Sulcis non è ben definita in quanto si tende talvolta ad estenderla in senso lato comprendendo anche parte del territorio dell'Iglesiente oppure anche i territori di Pula, Villa San Pietro e Sarroch, la cui collocazione geografica è incerta e controversa: il Sulcis propriamente detto corrisponde al versante sud-occidentale dei Monti del Sulcis e alla piana sottostante fino alla costa sudoccidentale che si affaccia sul Canale di Sardegna, da capo Altano, o capo Giordano, fino al Golfo di Palmas e da qui continua verso il Capo Teulada. Per affinità politiche-geografiche è considerato parte del territorio sulcitano l'arcipelago del Sulcis, con le isole di San Pietro e di Sant'Antioco.  Più incerta è la collocazione di Pula, Villa San Pietro e Sarroch, che fanno parte della Provincia di Cagliari e sono situati lungo la costa del Golfo degli Angeli, ai piedi del versante sud-orientale dei monti del Sulcis, nella parte esterna del territorio sulcitano. L'entroterra montano di questi comuni ha infatti un'affinità e un'omogeneità ambientale con il Sulcis, tuttavia i centri abitati giacciono su una piana costiera geograficamente isolata e distinta dal territorio sulcitano e che ha invece una naturale continuità con la piana di Capoterra, a tutti gli effetti considerata parte del Campidano di Cagliari.

Pur presentando caratteristiche ricorrenti in molte subregioni della Sardegna, il Sulcis mostra una sostanziale peculiarità quando si prendono in considerazione, nel complesso, la geografia, la geologia, il clima, la vegetazione: dal punto di vista geografico e geomorfologico, il Sulcis ha una forte caratterizzazione in quanto quasi completamente delimitato dal mare e dall'omonimo massiccio montuoso, che lo isolano dal resto della regione. L'unica via naturale di collegamento è dislocata nella parte orientale del confine settentrionale: il confine è definito fisicamente da uno spartiacque di media altitudine, ma dalla morfologia aspra, che separa il Sulcis dall'Iglesiente ed è interrotto da una stretta fascia di depositi alluvionali che collega il territorio di Carbonia a quello di Villamassargia. Ad ovest, la morfologia del territorio è caratterizzata da piane alluvionali che si estendono lungo tutta la fascia costiera, da Porto Pino (Sant'Anna Arresi) fino a Carbonia e Portoscuso, e si alternano a dolci rilievi collinari. Questo sistema di pianure costiere si inoltra a est, nei territori di Tratalias, Giba e Santadi, e a nordest, nei territori di Perdaxius e Narcao, alternandosi con rilievi collinari di bassa o media altitudine, più o meno impervi, e con i depositi alluvionali della formazione del Cixerri. A nord e a est, la morfologia è definita dai rilievi che trasformano bruscamente il paesaggio da pianeggiante-collinare a impervio e montuoso (fonte: Wikipedia).

DA SEGNALARE

Soprattutto per la ricchezza di sentieri per la bellezza del territorio forestale e montano, il Complesso Forestale di Pantaleo: 8.050 ettari di superficie, è costituito quattro unità gestionali, tra cui tre foreste demaniali di Pantaleo (Santadi), Tamara Tiriccu (Nuxis) e Rosas – Monte Ettoi - Monte Orri (Narcao).

Sulcis is a sub-region of Sardinia, in thesouth-west of the island, and forms an integral part ofthe historical and geographical region of Sulcis-Iglesiente. It takes its name from the ancient Punic city of Sulki or Sulci(the present-day Sant'Antioco). Sulcis propercorresponds to the south-western slope of the Sulcis Mountainsand to the plain below as far as the south-west coast thatoverlooks the Channel of Sardinia from Cape Altano tothe Gulf of Palmas and from here towards Cape Teulada.Due to political-geographical affinities,the Sulcis archipelago is considered part of the sulcitan territory, with the islands ofSan Pietro and Sant'Antioco.Sulcis has a unique characteras it is almost completely bounded by the sea andby the mountain massif of the same name, which isolate it from the restof the region. The border is physically demarcated by a watershedof medium altitude and rugged morphology, which divides Sulcisand Iglesiente and is interrupted by a narrow strip of alluvialdeposits that links Carbonia to Villamassargia.In the west, the morphology is characterised byfloodplains stretching all along the coastal strip,from Porto Pino (Sant'Anna Arresi) to Carbonia and Portoscuso, alternating with gentle hilly reliefs. To the north and east, the morphology is defined by reliefs that transform the landscape abruptly from flat-to-hilly to inaccessible and mountainous (source: Wikipedia).

Campidano di Cagliari

Approximately 10 km outside Cagliari is the Campidano State-owned Forest. It consists of a single large forest covering approximately 1600 hectares, of which 489 fall within the area called Santu Barzolu owned by the municipality of Sinnai and managed by the Forestry Authority. The forest complex borders to the south with the town of Sinnai and Settimo S. Pietro, to the west with Soleminis while to the north-west is the municipality of Dolianova.

The historical body of the state-owned forest was acquired by the forestry administration around 1900 in order to start reforestation work which then continued over the following decades. Of particular interest is the mature pine forest of Aleppo pine at Sa Pira.   At Is Landireddus there is also an area planted with cork oak in 1906.

Passing through Sinnai, from the access located south of the forest, at Sa Pira, you come to Bruncu Mogumu, a panoramic hill which is home to an archaeological site of considerable interest. Nearby you can still see the remains of a building destroyed by a fire in 1997, which devastated a vast area of the forest.
The access from Soleminis, north of the forest, leads to Mount Arrubiu where you can find a plant nursery and the former forestry barracks, renovated and now used for environmental education activities (C.E.E.A.). There is also an abandoned silver mine.
The body of Santu Barzolu, identified as a Site of Community Interest, joins the state-owned forest in the area of  Bruncu Cirronis and Cuccuru sa Cruxitta and extends to the east to include the water catchment area of the Rio Santu Barzolu in the area of the reservoir that supplies the aqueduct.

Campidano di Cagliari

Nelle vicinanze di Cagliari, a circa 10 km, si trova la Foresta Demaniale Campidano. E’ costituita da un unico corpo esteso circa 1600 ettari, di cui 489 ricadenti nella zona denominata Santu Barzolu di proprietà del comune di Sinnai e gestiti dall’Ente Foreste. Il complesso confina a sud con il centro abitato di Sinnai e Settimo S. Pietro, ad ovest con quello di Soleminis mentre a nord-ovest si trova il comune di Dolianova. 

Il corpo storico della foresta demaniale fu acquisito dall’amministrazione forestale intorno al 1900 per l’avvio dei lavori di rimboschimento che sono proseguiti nei decenni successivi. Di particolare interesse la pineta adulta di pino d’Aleppo ubicata a Sa Pira, per la cui realizzazione fu impiegata manodopera costituita da prigionieri austriaci della I guerra mondiale. In località “is Landireddus” si segnala inoltre un’area impiantata a sughera nel 1906. 

Passando da Sinnai, dall’accesso ubicato a sud della foresta, in località Sa Pira, si arriva alla località “Bruncu Mogumu”, un colle panoramico che ospita un sito archeologico di notevole interesse. Nei pressi si incontrano ancora i resti di un fabbricato distrutto dall’incendio del 1997 che ha attraversato la foresta devastandone una vasta area. 
L’accesso da Soleminis, a nord della foresta, porta in località Mont’Arrubiu dove troviamo un vivaio e la ex-caserma forestale ristrutturata e destinata alle attività di educazione ambientale (C.E.E.A.). Sono inoltre presenti i resti di una miniera di argento.
Il corpo di Santu Barzolu, individuato come Sito di Interesse Comunitario, si unisce alla foresta demaniale nella zona di Bruncu Cirronis e Cuccuru sa Cruxitta e si estende ad est a comprendere il bacino imbrifero del Rio Santu Barzolu, nell’area del lago artificiale che alimenta l’acquedotto.

Sarrabus-Sette Fratelli

The area is located in the south-eastern sector of Sardinia, between the historical regions of Sarrabus and Campidano, and administratively speaking, lies within the municipalities of Burcei, Sinnai, San Vito, Dolianova, Settimo San Pietro, Soleminis, Castiadas and Muravera. 
The climate is typically Mediterranean, characteristic of the southern regions of Sardinia, with long, hot dry summers that last for about four months, while the winter is mild with moderate rainfall. The vegetation of the forest complex of Settefratelli is quite varied, with the coastal strip featuring typical Mediterranean maquis with mastic (Pistacia lentiscus L.), the Phoenician juniper (Juniperus phoenicea L.), tree spurge (Euphorbia dendroides L.), sporadic olive tree specimens (Olea europea L. var. sylvestris Brot.) 
and narrow-leaved mock privet (Phyllirea angustifolia L.), while in inland areas the most widespread forest species is the holm oak together with strawberry tree, broad-leaved phyllirea, heather and viburnum. Cork oaks are also found at medium-low elevations. 
Pulvinus vegetation characterises the highest ridges, with Corsican broom, thyme and lavender, with riparian vegetation along streams and rivers including oleander, willows and alder.   Especially in the State-owned forests of Settefratelli and Castiadas, the territory represents a natural habitat of Sardinian deer which have found a safe refuge here and are protected thanks to the conservation work of the Forestry Authority.   In addition to deer, the forests are home to numerous other animal species such as eagle, marten, Sardinian hare, wild boar, partridge and fox.

Il clima è tipicamente mediterraneo, caratteristico delle zone meridionali sarde, con estati calde, lunghe ed asciutte che si protraggono per circa quattro mesi, mentre l’inverno è mite e moderatamente piovoso. 
La vegetazione del complesso forestale di Settefratelli è piuttosto varia presentandosi sulla fascia litoranea con la tipica macchia a lentischio (Pistacia lentiscus L.), col ginepro fenicio (Juniperus phoenicea L.) con l’euforbia arborea (Euphorbia dendroides L.), con sporadici esemplari diolivastro (Olea europea L. var. sylvestris Brot.) e con la fillirea angustifolia (Phyllirea angustifolia L.), mentre nelle aree interne la formazione forestale maggiormente diffusa è la lecceta associata a seconda delle situazioni al corbezzolo, alla fillirea latifoglia, all’erica e al viburno. A quote medio basse si trova anche la sughera. Sui crinali più alti si trova una vegetazione a pulvino con ginestra corsa, timo, lavanda, mente lungo gli alvei dei torrenti la vegetazione riparia a oleandro, salici e ontano.  Il territorio costituisce, soprattutto nelle Foreste Demaniali dei Settefratelli e di Castiadas, uno degli areali di eccellenza del cervo sardo che qui ha trovato rifugio ed è protetto e conservato grazie all’azione dell’Ente Foreste. 
Oltre al cervo, le foreste ospitano numerose altre specie animali come l’aquila, la martora, la lepre sarda, il cinghiale, la pernice e la volpe
