“…The origin of the forest, past silvicultural treatments and evidences of natural disturbances must be known (Motta and Haudemand, 2000). The further management starts from the state defined by the criteria mentioned above, the stronger the management intervention must be (Führer, 2000), but preferably silvicultural intervention mimics small-scale natural disturbances (Bengtsson et al, 2000). If ecosystem dynamics tend to deviate from the course directed to fulfilment of the criteria, the suitability of the forest stand for performing a protective function might be questioned.…”

“…PREMESSA L'analisi della struttura consente di valutare il livello di complessità del bosco, mettendo in relazione la ricchezza di specie, la varietà di habitat (PIGNATTI, 1998, LÄHDE et al, 1999, BENGTSSON et al, 2000 e i processi dinamici connessi alla gestione. Inoltre, permette di verificare gli effetti degli interventi selvicolturali che si sono succeduti nel tempo e raffigura le modalità di gestione da adottare per promuovere, al massimo livello possibile, la complessità strutturale dei popolamenti e l'efficienza funzionale del sistema (CIANCIO e NOCENTINI, 1994).…”

Abstract. Landslide susceptibility assessment is a fundamental component of effective landslide prevention. One of the main challenges in landslides forecasting is the assessment of spatial distribution of landslide susceptibility. Despite the many different approaches, landslide susceptibility assessment still remains a challenge. A semi-quantitative method is proposed combining heuristic, deterministic and probabilistic approaches for a robust catchment scale assessment. A fuzzy ensemble model has been exploited for aggregating an array of different susceptibility zonation maps. Each susceptibility zonation has been obtained by applying heterogeneous statistical techniques as logistic regression (LR), relative distance similarity (RDS), artificial neural network (ANN) and two different landslide susceptibility techniques based on the infinite slope stability model. The sequence of data-transformation models has been enhanced following the semantic array programming paradigm. The ensemble has been applied to a study area in Italy. This catchment scale methodology may be exploited for analysing the potential impact of landscape disturbances. At regional scale, a qualitative approach is also proposed as a rapid assessment technique -suitable for application in real-time operations such as wildfire emergency management.
