The southernmost European beech forests are located in the upper forest vegetation belt on Mount Etna volcano. Their standstructural patterns were analysed to assess the effects of the site-ecological factors and previous management practices on the forest structure. Five main structural-silvicultural types were identified among the main beech forest types: coppice, highmountain coppice (HMCo), high forest, coppice in conversion to high-forest and non-formal stand. A detailed standstructural analysis was carried out through measured dendrometric parameters and derived structural characters linked to both the horizontal and the vertical profiles. Plant regeneration processes were also assessed, and several biodiversity indicators were calculated. The collected data indicate a high variability of beech stand structures in relation to the heterogeneity of the site-ecological characteristics as well as to the effects of both natural and anthropic disturbance factors. The occurrence of particular stand structures along the altitude gradient on Mount Etna is evident. It is especially visible in the multi-stemmed HMCos in relation to the changing, and increasingly limiting, ecological factors, although at higher altitudes historical anthropic actions (felling) also have had an influence. Inside the Mediterranean area, these stands highlight their ecological marginality, in terms of both latitude and altitude, especially regarding current climate change processes.

“…Traditional forest management has had an important impact on the current European beech stands resulting in the creation and maintenance of a wide spectrum of structural forms (Bengtsson et al 2000), especially in Mediterranean areas (Ciancio et al 2006(Ciancio et al , 2008Coppini & Hermanin 2007;Nocentini 2009;Lombardi et al 2012). …”

“…Questi boschi ricoprono una vasta area dell'Altipiano fin quasi a 1600 m di quota, interessando parte dei versanti che si diramano nelle quattro direzioni cardinali (Ciancio et al 2005). Da quota 900 e fino a 1200-1300 m quasi tutte le pinete sono di origine artificiale, realizzate tra il 1950 e il 1970.…”

IntroduzioneSecondo quanto riportato nell'Inventario Nazionale delle Foreste e dei Serbatoi di Carbonio (INFC 2007) la Regione Calabria, a fronte di una superficie territoriale pari a 1.511.000 ettari (Regione Calabria 2016), presenta una superficie forestale di 612.934 ettari e un indice di boscosità pari al 40.6%. Dati che fanno assumere a questa Regione un ruolo di parti- it).Abstract: New silvicultural approaches for sustainable forest management in Calabria (Southern Italy). We propose several guidelines for sustainable forest management of the main regional forest types based on literature review on silviculture and forest management and taking into account the results from surveys carried out in four test sites located in Calabria (Southern Italy) within the framework of ALForLAB project. The four test sites cover 16% of regional forested area, which included ten of the main silvicultural types. Results highlighted a high variability in stand structure of high forests, while coppice woods were characterised by low structural variablity. The different silvicultural treatments proposed for high forests focused on the maintenance of stand structure complexity where it is already high, and to enhance it where the past management options simplified stand structure. The proposed silvicultural treatments for conifer plantations aimed at progressive renaturalisation. In the regional context coppice management, especially simple coppice with standards, still maintains an important role for fuelwood and charcoal production, poles and posts (chestnut coppice) production, and more recently for forest biomass for energy use. Coppice management, with exception for beech stands and stands within protected areas, can still be maintained with the adoption of suitable tending and thinnings interventions and rotation periods. The management guidelines here proposed for both high forests and coppices represent an important tool for sustainable forest management in Calabria. In addition, they can be an useful and complementary tool for spatial decision support system aimed to Precision Forestry issues.

“…Questi rimboschimenti artificiali furono realizzati con i fondi della Cassa per il Mezzogiorno tra gli anni '50-'70 del secolo scorso, a scopo di difesa idrogeologica e contemporaneamente per la produzione di pasta di cellulosa e carta (CIANCIO et al, 1981). Furono impiantati quindi spesso nel tentativo di ottenere la difesa dal dissesto idrogeologico in zone soggette a forte erosione e ottenendo, nel contempo, elevate produzioni legnose per l'industria cartaria.…”
