وصف موجز لأفضل الممارسات
In the 1950s the mountainous area of Calabria was characterized by subsistence farming. This activity use land often in slope that was affected by erosion and hydrogeological problems. Soil degradation was mitigated with wide reforestation with Pinus nigra subsp. laricio Poiret. It's been used Pinus nigra subsp. laricio Poiret for its rusticity. It grows easily in soils of different nature and origin, often superficial and infertile. It is considered autochthonous in Calabria, too.

The practice was considered as 'best' on the basis of the analysis of the efficacy, efficiency, effectiveness of the practice.
The indicators of effecacy of the implementation of the pinewoods are: the reduction of water erosion of the soil, increase the thickness of the soil and content of organic matter (C-sink), the creation or preservation of habitats favourable to the development of spontaneous plants and animals, the availability of forest products (biomass in particular) and secondary forest products such as mushrooms, etc.
An indicator of efficiency of afforestation are the use of abundant financing received through various special laws for Calabria.
Interventions in the 1950s in the basin of Arente were realized in a perspective of long-term development and today, more than fifty years, you collect the fruits in environmental terms (soil conservation, landscape, absorption of CO2).
