Title: | Developing biodiversity assessment on a stand forest type management level in north-eastern Italy | Authors: | Barbati, Anna Corona, Piermaria Carraro, Giovanni Del Favero, Roberto Dissegna, Maurizio Lasen, Cesare Marchetti, Marco |
Keywords: | Biodiversity;Forest type;Veneto administrative region | Issue Date: | 1999 | Publisher: | Accademia Italiana di Scienze Forestali | Source: | Barbati, A. et al. 1999. Developing biodiversity assessment on a stand forest type management level in north-eastern Italy. "Annali Accademia Italiana di Scienze Forestali" XLVIII: 157-176 | Abstract: | This paper discusses a simple operative proposal, elaborated by a team of advisers to the Forestry Service of the Veneto administrative region (north-eastern Italy), concerning the definition of stand-level forest type biodiversity indicators and biodiversity oriented management provisions. Such tools are conceived to transfer biodiversity conservation understanding in current forest stand management practices. The developed assessment system is targeted to: maintenance and increase of the variability of forest landscape mosaic; conservation of species variability; creation of resource reservoirs. The following criteria and indicators are taken into consideration: spatial pattern (widespreadness, connectedness, species contagion potential), forest structure (uneven aged stands: percent of trees in three broad diameter classes; even aged stands: number of development stages and surface of each development stage), herbs/shrubs species (average, minimum and maximum number of species; average number of short-lived herb/ shrub species recorded in minimal anthropic disturbance conditions; dynamic trend in the number of herb/shrub species), bird species (average, minimum and maximum number of species); overall naturalistic quality (flora; vegetation; fauna). Such indicators are proposed as biodiversity reference standards for each forest type in the considered region: they provide practical baseline information with which forest stand management efficiency in achieving biodiversity targets can be compared. |
