Ceduo castanile in aree ad elevato pericolo di frane superficiali. Quali opzioni gestionali?

Stools uprooting in abandoned chestnut coppice forests challenge foresters in the formulation of appropriated selvicoltural interventions, especially in protection forests. Based on the results of a study on the temporal dynamic of root distribution in three different types of selvicoltural regimes, we discuss a new approach for the planification of forest interventions targeting to the optimization of the protection function against shallow landslides.
