Riassunto
Summary The
European Environment Agency has just released the new Report
“Development and harmonization of a Forest Status Indicator (FSI), fully
developed by the Italian Forest Service (CONECOFOR Service), on the basis
of a grant with the Agency, in the frame of the Pan-European Process for
the Implementation of Biodiversity Indicators SEBI2010, aimed to the
implementation in Europe of the International Convention
on Biological Diversity. The
report aims at the implementation of a new indicator of
the status of European forest biodiversity (FSI), as an elaboration and
synthesis of current metadata and methodologies at European level. In
particular, the work has been performed through a detailed collection of
meta-data and harmonized methods available in European Networks.
The following step has been based on SEBI2010 (EG6) sub-indicators, in
progressive development at the moment of this study (naturalness,
deadwood, tree condition, structure, vegetation) and their use as
parameters of forest biodiversity in FSI. The last phase of the
elaboration is a synthesis and interpretation of FSI parameters, which is
expressed through “radar” graphs. Finally a simulation for a graphic
representation of FSI as concerns two metadata collections has been
designed: one for Italy and one for Slovakia, Spain and Germany. FSI
is based on qualitative attributes of the forest ecosystem, essential to
evaluate the quantitative results of other biodiversity indicators, e.g.
giving the correct significance to the observed trends in forest types
cover. Nowadays, FSI is ready to be included and combined into the
SEBI2010 headline macro-indicator “Trend in extent and composition of
selected ecosystems”.
