Environmental Planning Inputs by the Forest Sector: The Scale Factor, the Connection Planning-Management and the Relations with other Planning Sector…
2011
In the twentieth-century Italy, as many other densely populated European countries, has been characterized by a progressive reduction of the forest cover, specially in the southern Mediterranean regions. Generally, the mountain areas developed a forest based economy, especially in north east Alps and in the Mediterranean Apennine inner mountains. Several distinctions must be taken into account, for example with regard to ownership of the woods. On the Alps, generally the forest are municipal, community or private properties. In the Mediterranean Apennines inner areas there are many wide state owned forest, followed by municipal properties, while the private property is, on average, less dif…
Training activities
2017
We have implemented a training program addressed to the forestry experts of the Sicilian Region Rural and Territorial Development Department, to the students of the Forestry and Environmental Sciences at the University of Palermo, to the professionals members of the Forestry and Agronomy Doctors Association, to all those interested and working in the forestry field in Sicily. All these activities aimed at improving the whole system capacity to manage forests in order to apply the sylvicoltural good practices developed by the project. During the project last two years, 500 experts and 200 forestry sciences students have been trained. The training activities have been focused on the sylvicolt…
Forest in Sicily
2017
The Sicilian forestal landscape is part of an agro-forestal environment where wood stations, often spatially organized on grazing, alternate to scrublands and cultivated areas. In Roman times, the island’s forest surface amounted to about one million hectares, but the deforestation practices carried out to give room to agriculture, along the centuries, reduced this surface to about a third. Forests are still well preserved on mountains and above all on the Sicani, Madonie, and Nebrodi ranges and on Mt. Etna. On the remaining territory, the forest landscape is quite irregular and characterized by small stations within agricultural and grazing territories. On the basis of the last Regional Fo…
Buone pratiche di gestione forestale sostenibile. le azioni dimostrative condotte nell’area pilota in Sicilia
2014
Nell’ambito del progetto Proforbiomed, nel corso dell’implementazione dell’Azione Pilota 4 “Applicazione sul campo di buone pratiche di gestione forestale sostenibile” del Work Package 5 “Energie rinnovabili come opportunità per le economie locali e regionali”, a partire dalla selezione di Buone Pratiche, sono stati praticati interventi forestali dimostrativi su specifiche aree che sono state identificate all'interno delle Aree Pilota selezionate da ciascuno dei partner coinvolti in questa Azione Pilota. Finalità generale di questa Azione Pilota è stata quella di supportare la disseminazione di specifiche informazioni tecniche e dei risultati che derivano dalle differenti attività previste …

LA DIRETTIVA 92/43/CEE ED IL PATRIMONIO AGRO-FORESTALE, PRE-FORESTALE E FORESTALE SICILIANO: ALCUNE NOTE CRITICHE
2009
The 92/43/EEC Directive and the Sicilian agro-forest, pre-forest and forest heritage: some critical remarks – In order to redact the management criteria for the agro-forest and the autochthonous pre-forest and forest heritage within the Sicilian CSI Management Plans, during 2008 a critique analysis of the Interpretation Manual of European Union Habitats “Eur27” has been carried out. This manual treats quite adequately the mesophilous coenoses, the sclerophyllous forests and the conifer ones; on the other hand, some discrepancies need to be pointed out: for instance, some habitats quoted for Sicily (e.g. “matorral with Juniperus phoenicea” and “with Zizyphus lotus”) actually correspond to ve…

Classificare i paesaggi culturali tradizionali: criteri metodologici e applicazione
2009
The Italian peninsula is characterized by a high presence of Traditional Landscapes. “Traditional” refers to those landscapes that have a long history, a slow change, in agreement with the environmental factors. However, this high landscape richness is not supported by widespread inventory tools. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary in landscape analysis. Differences come out comparing the few existing inventories at national and sub-national levels in Italy based on holistic criteria, due to the number and type of thematic layers used in the analysis. Moreover, more sectorial approaches exist in the agronomic anf forestry field, often analysing and detecting landscape agro-forestry un…
Inventario e monitoraggio delle risorse forestali del sito Natura 2000 “Bosco di S. Adriano”
2008
The WP5 (Action 5.4) of the ManagMED project foresees measurement, evaluation, and estimation of the parameters that have a negative impact on the sites, throughout the use of innovative inventory methods (A5.4). The preliminary studies (WP2) carried out on the chosen Nature 2000 sites, contributed in recognising phenomena and activities which have a negative impact on the protection state of the sites. Mapping, inventories, and forest monitoring constitute the support base allowing acknowledging of environments, and of conservation and evaluation methods of the natural resources, therefore permitting planning of ideal methods for the realisation of a non- passive integration between man an…
