Breve descrição da melhor prática

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.

Breve descrição do ambiente natural dentro do local especificado.

The areas of intervention were very large surfaces characterized by soils, derived from different geological formations (Granites, shale, sandstone rocks, conglomerates, carbonate rocks), on very steep slopes and heavily eroded following the destruction of the forest.

Com base em quais critérios e/ou indicadores (não relacionados com a Estratégia) a prática proposta e a tecnologia correspondente foram considerados como "melhores"?

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).

Sim

Lista das partes interessadas locais envolvidas:

University researchers|forestry workers and State Foresters|Institutions|Entrepreneurs

Para os participantes listados acima, especifique seu papel no projeto, início, uso e manutenção da tecnologia, se houver.

University researchers have conducted scientific research on the effecacy of afforestation in order to soil conservation and protection.
Forestry workers have realized the reforestation.
State Foresters have played the role of design and work supervision  in the field of forestry.
Institutions: at the beginning the municipalities merely give in granting a portion of its territory to forestry holding to get in return that a proportion of the population was hired as a forestry worker. Following municipalities have begun to require the return of land to manage independently the stands now ripe.
Entrepreneurs: the owners and operators of biomass power plants use lumber obtained from reforestation carried out more than fifty years ago.

A população que vive no local e/ou nas proximidades estava envolvida no desenvolvimento da tecnologia?

Sim

Especifique:

Environmental organisations have played awareness activities of the local population to issues of the environment and sustainable management of natural resources.

Descreva os impactos no local (os dois principais impactos por categoria)

Valorisation of biomass produced from wood by sale on the market for renewable energy.
Development of economic activities and work opportunities linked to tourism and to forestry management.
Reforestation has caused the development of biomass that in the past it was destroyed by degradation factors suc as water erosion and hydreological risk.
Reconstitution of canopy ensures the protection of soil against erosion and hydrogeological risk.

Impacto sobre a biodiversidade e a mudança climática

Explique as razões:

The presence of a canopy  mitigates the impact of precipitation on soil.
The practice itself is a tool of conservation of biodiversity.
Reforestation is a carbon sink
