Long‐term changes in Italian mountain forests detected by resurvey of historical vegetation data

2021-01-01

Abstract excerpt

AIM: In the last decades most European mountain forests have been abandoned after centuries of human management, paving the way for a landscape planning oriented to the conservation and rewilding of forest ecosystems. By resurveying historical vegetation plots in a mountain area of the Italian Apennines (southern Europe), we focused on yet overlooked processes in this area, to allow for a more comprehensive pictur...
