摘要

From unification of Italy, it is possible to follow the transformations of the surfaces, and some elements related to the governance and structure of the woods with a certain approximation, thanks to the availability of sources for the whole country. The analysis of the available data presents some difficulties, mainly due to uncertainties about the methods of detection and the lack of systematic detection. There are also difference in what is considered “forest” in terms of a surface covered by a certain number of trees that can be legally defined forest. The last data available comes from the third Italian national forest inventory of 2015 (CREA in Le Foreste Italiane, 2021) that estimated the total wooded area to be more than 11,054.458 ha which is 36.7% of the country area. It includes the high forest and temporarily unstocked areas, plantations for timber and wood production and other wooded land (short trees forests, sparse forests, scrubland and shrubs). The first three categories cover 30.2% of Italy and make 82.2% of the Total wooded area. According to the most reliable statistics, after a decrease occurred towards the end of the nineteenth century, between 1936 and 2015, the extension of the forest area has more than doubled. The spread of dense and homogeneous forests has contributed to decrease the diversity of the landscape mosaic. Due to the disproportionate increase of forests, negatively affecting the conservation of the landscape, the Regional Government of Tuscany has produced a law allowing the removal of forests on previously cultivated land. Despite this very significant increase of forests, entirely due to socioeconomic factors, they represent only about 0.21% of the forest of the world, thus, their contribution to carbon sink is quite limited. According to scientific evidence there are no natural or virgin forests in Italy as all the Italian forests have been influenced by human influence. In the inventory, there are no data on forests having historic and cultural value. Social and cultural values represent the third pillar of sustainable forest management in Europe and that forest are a part of the cultural landscape of the nation, a new law is going to come into force to detect and preserve them.
