Approccio alla caratterizzazione di un lembo di bosco vetusto: il caso di Monte Egitto

Abstract: I boschi vetusti, foreste che hanno raggiunto un'età ragguardevole, in assenza o con minimi disturbi antropici, sono oggi oggetto di studio per comprendere i loro caratteri e la capacità di fornire servizi ecosistemici. In Sicilia solo poche aree boscate sono state classificate come tali, stanti i profondi cambiamenti d'uso del suolo e la grande diffusione dell'agricoltura. Questo lavoro riporta i risultati di studi condotti per caratterizzare la vegetazione di un piccolo cratere del Monte Etna, dove si trova … Show more

“…However, it seems that the interventions carried out, and above all the short time lapse of monitoring, were insufficient for more in-depth evaluations of shifts in the vascular plant and bird communities. Nevertheless, our data seem to confirm that governance and management for preserving and favouring ecosystem integrity of old-growth forest patches should focus on dedicated silvicultural treatments aimed at increasing the diversity of plant and bird communities, and hopefully improve their resilience to climate change [ 4 , 11 , 50 , 106 ].…”

“…Finally, it is worth noting that Mount Egitto represents the only known Italian locality for the mushroom Sporidesmium bacidiicola Alstrup and the lichen Waynea giraltiae van den Boom [49]. Maetzke et al [50,51] provided the following preliminary characterisation of the structural attributes of the investigated old-growth forest patch: (1) 70 old oaks with diameter at breast height (DBH) greater than 40 cm, (2) a total amount of deadwood of 30 m 3 ha −1 , (3) more than 60% of deadwood occurring in the latest decay classes. The occurrence of old-growth features has been linked to the combined effect of local factors, such as climate, altitude, soil, periodic volcanic ash falls and lava flows, distance to rural areas and low levels of anthropogenic pressure [50].…”
