Abstract
In the last century large afforestation programs were carried out in the Apennines to recover
degraded lands, mainly by Pinus nigra plantations. Currently, many Authors have
proposed management guidelines to foster the naturalization of such woodlands. However,
such an option requires the availability of detailed surveys. The aim of this note is to propose
a survey protocol for qualifying the landscape pattern of pine reafforestations and for
mapping their growing stock on the basis of the k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) techniques. A
case study application by Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery is here reported concerning the Pinus
nigra plantations in the province of Rieti (Central Italy).
