Abstract
Land Use and Land Cover Changes (LUCC) are directly linked to landscape transformations due to human activities. In the last century land changes dynamics have increased just like the attention towards the need of landscape conservation.
Landscape is often seen like a collector of “environmental objects (or components)
and relations existing between them”. From this point of view the study of landscape
changes can be interesting in order to understand the territorial dynamics.
Forestry systems, in particular, as biodiversity collectors, seem to have suffered the
biggest changes in terms of loss/increase of surface. On this subject we cannot find yet
comprehensive studies about the Italian territory, and the work here presented, regarding
the whole Sardinian territory, can be considered as the first one, on this regional scale, of
changes analysis focused on forestry landscape.
Using and integrating different data-sources and recovering cartographic data, not
yet analyzed, on the Sardinian forestry extension during the first three decades of XX
century, we can be able to outline a new frame in which can be seen the increase of
forestry surface, different form the ones of previous authors.
The results of this work can be useful to direct new studies on forestry landscape,
especially for those of Mediterranean and Apennine regions, so that they could show new
scenarios on biodiversity conservation.
At the same time, the study suggests a first thought on the real impact of Italian
forestry legislation, giving a rise to a huge comparison between it and the one regarding
specifically the landscape.
