[1] It is located in the Gennargentu massif, in the province of Nuoro, in the administrative territory of the municipalities of Villagrande Strisaili and Desulo.

[6] From a floristic-vegetational point of view, the mountain slopes are covered with low scrubland formations that are the result of the processes of degradation of the original vegetation due to overgrazing and the indiscriminate use of fire as a means of obtaining new areas useful for livestock farming.

At higher altitudes, shrub species that assume a creeping habit due to the unfavorable climatic conditions are found.

The most commonly represented species are tree heath (Erica arborea), Corsican broom (Genista corsica), dwarf juniper (Juniperus nana), caraway thyme (Thymus herba-barona), and greater barberry (Santolina insularis).

In the valleys, stream banks are characterized by gallery forests formed by black alder (Alnus glutinosa).
