RETICULA n. 25/2020 Monographic Number
Forestation for ecological connectivity and territorial resilience to climate change
Forests are considered among the most important biomes on the planet for their fundamental role in stabilizing the soil and climate, improving air quality, as well as the economic sectors that derive from their production, primarily but not exclusively wood. The environmental, social and economic roles of forests have multiplied and they are strongly involved in achieving the objectives of adaptation and mitigation of current environmental changes.
With the aim of improve the discussion and the useful reflection shared by the different involved actors for a sustainable forest management, the monographic issue 2020 of Reticula shows some articles on experiences of application of good practices and applied research that revolve around the conservation, enhancement and improvement of the vocations of the existing forest heritage and the planning and management of forest vegetation cover.
The articles contain different fields of application, sometimes apparently far from the collective imagination of this discipline, but which we believe will help the reader to build up an idea of innovative and ethical forest management that is in line with the perspectives of the new regulations concerning the forest heritage (TUFF, National Forest Strategy, Climate Decree) as well as the funding opportunities provided at European and national level.
