In the degraded forests, thinning has a positive effect on the provision of ecosystem services such as timber and bioenergy production, climate change mitigation, and recreational attractiveness. Context: The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment highlights the importance of the ecosystem services for human well-being and for maintaining conditions for life on Earth. Silvicultural treatments can improve the provision of ecosystem services to increase local communities’ well-being. Aims: The aim of this study is to understand the effects of two-forest restoration practices (selective thinning and thinning from below) on three ecosystem services (wood production, climate change mitigation, and recreational opportunities) in an Italian case study. Methods: A multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) was performed to compare the effects of three forest restoration scenarios (baseline, selective thinning, thinning from below) on ecosystem services. Wood production was estimated considering the local market prices and the wood volumes harvested, while climate change mitigation was quantified through the C-stock and C-sequestration changes in carbon pools due to the silvicultural treatments. The recreational activities were assessed through a questionnaire survey. A sample of 200 visitors was interviewed face-to-face to estimate the impact of thinning on recreational activities. Results: The results of the MCDA show that the selective thinning scenario is the optimal forest restoration practice to increase the recreational attractiveness and the wood production in the study area. Conclusion: The results concerning the effects of the silvicultural treatments on ecosystem services supply are an important tool to support decision makers.

Effects of forest management on the amount of deadwood in Mediterranean oak ecosystems / Alessandro Paletto in Annals of Forest Science, vol 71 n° 7 (October 2014)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science > vol 71 n° 7 (October 2014) . - pp 791 - 800 Titre : Effects of forest management on the amount of deadwood in Mediterranean oak ecosystems Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Alessandro Paletto, Auteur ; Isabella De Meo, Auteur ; Paolo Cantiani, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp 791 - 800 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : (Auteur) Context Deadwood is an important habitat for vertebrate and invertebrate species, a key factor in the nutrient cycle and a valuable carbon pool. Difference in the deadwood C stock depends on many variables such as forest type, microclimate and forest management. Aims We investigated the relationship between C stock in deadwood and forest management in oak stands of southern Italy. Methods Deadwood C stock was quantified in 74 forest stands under intensive, extensive or multifunctional management. The relationship between management and C stock in deadwood was assessed taking into account the decay class and the type of deadwood (snags, stumps and logs). Results Intensively managed forests are characterized by significantly lower mean levels of deadwood C than the other forms of management. Multifunctional management resulted in the highest level of C, mainly in logs and snags, while extensive management resulted in high levels of C storage concentrated in snags. Conclusion Results of the research highlight that forest management practices greatly influence the quantitative and qualitative presence of deadwood in forests.
