Assessing the potential ecological functions, including ecosystem services and disservices, of megaherbivore rewilding in traditional rural wood-pastures.

2025-12-12

Abstract excerpt

Traditional rural wood-pastures are threatened by the loss of wild herbivory and traditional agrosilvopastoral practices, promoting woody encroachment, habitat homogenization, and erosion of biodiversity and cultural values. Megaherbivore rewilding has been proposed as a strategy to restore disturbance regimes in these seminatural landscapes, but its socioecological implications remain uncertain. Using Italy as a...
