The European biodiversity and forest strategies rely on sustainable management (SFM) to conserve biodiversity. However, current sustainability assessments hardly account for direct indicators. We focused multi-taxon to: i) gather map the existing information; ii) identify knowledge research gaps; iii) discuss its potential. established a network fit data species, standing trees, lying deadwood sampling unit description from 34 local datasets across 3591 units. A total of 8724 species were...
Although coppice forests represent a significant part of the European forest area, especially across southern Countries, they received little attention within Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) processes and scenarios, whose guidelines have been mainly designed to high national scale. In order obtain “tailored” information on degree sustainability coppices scale stand, we evaluated (i) whether main management options result in different responses SFM indicators, (ii) which considered...
Soil invertebrates represent almost a quarter of the total diversity living organisms and their activity affects entire soil ecological process. The choice adequate thinning systems may differently affect nematode microarthropod biodiversity in artificial black pinewoods. In this work, results impact different thinnings on structure communities was reported. short-term experiment, from below selective were compared to unmanaged stands provide indications at regional scale central Italy....
Aimed at reducing structural homogeneity and symmetrical competition in even-aged forest stands enhancing stand structure diversity, the present study contributes to design implementation of adaptive silvicultural practices with two objectives: (1) preserving high wood production rates under changing environmental conditions (2) ensuring key ecological services including carbon sequestration health vitality over extended life-spans. Based on a quantitative analysis selected indicators,...
SUMMARY Community perception of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) provides decision makers information useful to define forest policies and strategies. This paper aims contribute the SFM discourse focuses on in a case study (Comunita Montana Matese, Italy). Perceptions perspectives forestry sector stakeholders are assessed using survey methodology based questionnaires cognitive maps. “Cognitive mapping” is an approach strategic thinking order explore values, objectives stakeholders. A...
This volume should be interpreted as a manual of best practices for sustainable forest management deriving from the experience project LIFE09ENV/IT/000078 ManFor C.BD coordinated by National Research Council through Institute Agro-environmental and Forest Biology (CNR-IBAF).

Abstract - The main objective is to improve a method that aims at evaluating forest multifunctionality from technical and practical point of view. A methodological approach based on the index level proposed assess “fulfi lment capability” function providing an estimate performance each in given forest. This aimed sup-porting technicians requested defi ne most suitable management guidelines silvicultural practices framework Forest Landscape Management Plan (FLMP). study area Matese district...

The more and diffused multifunctional role addressed nowadays to public forests, calls for targeted analysis aimed at highlighting the overall outcome of different practices implemented on same forest compartment, according locally prevailing function. This study was carried out in four Italian beech forests across a latitudinal gradient representative multiple management history, stand structure, dominant age. We analyze structure compartment scale before after silvicultural practices. aim...
Silvicultural aspects of black pine plantations: analysis Italian regional lawsDuring the last century, afforestation programmes were planned in most regions and plantations have represented one main public policy effort mountain areas.The tecniques has been generally similar throughout Italy, producing nowadays artificial back forests showing age structures.Nevertheless, contrasting forestry legislations decision making both theoretically technically are adopted at scale specifically on...
This study deals with the analysis of seedling fitness in three Quercus cerris wood stands, namely Selva di Castiglione (SC), Bosco della Ficora (BF) and San Leo (BSL), developed different lithological physiographic conditions subjected to forestry practices. A phytosociological was carried out for analysing coenological features forest stands classify these latter from a syntaxonomic point view. The Pignatti-Ellenberg index (PEi) calculated on matrix composed relevés order highlight...
