SelPiBioLife - Innovative silvicultural treatments to enhance soil biodiversity in artificial black pine stands

SelPiBioLife - Innovative silvicultural treatments to enhance soil biodiversity in artificial black pine stands (LIFE13 BIO/IT/000282)

SelpiBioLife is a project under the category Biodiversity (LIFE13 BIO/IT/000282), for innovative or demonstration projects that consider biodiversity issues within the LIFE+ Nature and Biodiversity strand. The main goal of the project is to demonstrate the positive effects of an innovative silvicultural treatment on black pine forests. The specific innovative treatment applied in the stands improves growth rates and stands stability and enhance the level of biodiversity of the various soil components (flora, fungi, bacteria, mesofauna, nematods and microarthropods).

To promote the spread of these innovative treatments, demonstration areas have been set up in two Tuscan forests: in the Amiata (province of Siena) and in Pratomagno (province of Arezzo). In these sites various activities have been organized for dissemination and training purposes. The project also involved the construction of two "marteloscopes", areas specifically dedicated to the training of forestry professionals and students. In addition to this, various types of dissemination materials have been created, such as a technical manual and some videos, all available on the project website www.selpibio.eu.

The Project has also included the dissemination of content in the EUFORMAG network.
Here are the 3 articles available in the original version in Italian and in the English version available for network partners.

LIFE+ InBioWood - Increase Biodiversity through Wood Production

LIFE+ InBioWood - Increase Biodiversity through Wood Production (LIFE12 ENV/IT/000153)

InBioWood - Increase Biodiversity through Wood Production è un progetto di 5 anni iniziato nel 2013, il cui obiettivo è stato quello di realizzare e promuovere Piantagioni Policicliche Potenzialmente Permanenti (3P). Si tratta di una tipologia di impianti che assomma benefici ambientali simili a quelli di un bosco con i vantaggi produttivi delle piantagioni artificiali. Per promuovere la diffusione di questi impianti sono stati realizzati dai partner del progetto aree dimostrative e materiali divulgativi di vario tipo, come ad esempio un manuale tecnico e diversi video, tutti disponibili gratuitamente al sito www.inbiowood.eu.
È stata prevista anche specificatamente dal progetto la diffusione dei risultati nella rete EUFORMAG.
Di seguito i 5 articoli previsti disponibili nela versione originale in italiano e nel la versione inglese disponibili per i partner della rete.

LIFE+ PProSpoT Policy and Protection of Sporadic tree species in Tuscany forests

LIFE+ PProSpoT Policy and Protection of Sporadic tree species in Tuscany forests (LIFE09 ENV /IT/000087)

PProSpoT è un progetto LIFE+  finalizzato ad introdurre in Italia, in particolare in Toscana, la tecnica della selvicoltura d’albero applicata alla gestione e alla conservazione delle specie arboree sporadiche in bosco. La valorizzazione di queste specie è proposta per aumentare la biodiversità, la stabilità ecologica e il valore dei boschi attraverso una tecnica innovativa, integrabile con quelle tradizionali, che può essere facilmente diffusa in altre regioni d’Italia e d’Europa.
Per questo una specifica azione è dedicata proprio alla diffusione dei risultati nella rete EUFORMAG.
L’obiettivo è quello di rendere disponibili almeno 6 articoli relativi ai risultati del Progetto tradotti in inglese e corredati di tutto il materiale iconografico,  disponibili per la traduzione e la pubblicazione nelle varie riviste della Rete. È previsto anche un budget per le traduzioni nelle lingue nazionali da definire nel dettaglio tra Compagnia delle Foreste e le riviste  interessate a pubblicare.
