“…Consequently, forest stands have been largely abandoned with important consequences on tree stability, mortality and increase of fire risk. Currently, the average growing stock is around 560 m3 ha -1 , while deadwood volume is around 75 m3 ha -1 (80% lying deadwood, 18% standing dead trees, 2% stumps), mainly belonging to the second and third decay class (De Meo et al 2017).…”

“…The mean total height of the conifers at the study site prior to thinning was 19.74 m, with a mean stand volume of the standing trees 0.74 m 3 per tree and 315.54 m 3 /ha [32]. The deadwood volume at the study site was 9.21 m 3 •ha −1 [36].…”

The contribution of litterfall (dead leaves, twigs, etc., fallen to the ground) and forest floor (organic residues such as leaves, twigs, etc., in various stages of decomposition, on the top of the mineral soil) is fundamental in both forest ecosystem sustainability and soil greenhouse gases (GHG) exchange system with the atmosphere. The effect of different thinning treatments (control-no thinning, traditional-low thinning, selective-intense thinning) on litterfall and forest floor nutrients, in relation to soil GHG fluxes, is analyzed. After one year of operations, thinning had a significant seasonal effect on both litterfall and forest floor, and on their nutrient concentrations. The intense (selective) thinning significantly affected the total litterfall production and conifer fractions, reducing them by 46% and 48%, respectively, compared with the control (no thinning) sites. In the forest floor, thinning was able to significantly increase the Fe concentration in traditional thinning by 59%, and Zn concentration in the intense thinning by 55% (compared with control). Overall, litterfall acted as a bio-filter of the gasses emitting from the forest floor, acting as a GHG regulator.

“…brutia) dominated forest (vegetation type: EEA-EFTs code: 6.14.1) with a mean tree density of 980 tree ha −1 , a basal area of 62.9 m 2 ha −1 , and a mean height of 17.1 m. The stand age is between 55 and 65 years (Mazza et al 2019). The average growing stock is around 560 m 3 ha −1 , while the deadwood volume is equal to 75.1 m 3 ha −1 thus distributed (De Meo et al 2017): 59.9 m 3 ha −1 lying deadwood, 13.9 m 3 ha −1 standing dead trees, and 1.3 m 3 ha −1 in stumps.…”
