Reforestation dynamics after land abandonment: a trajectory analysis in Mediterranean mountain landscapes
Original language description
Reforestation after land abandonment across Mediterranean mountains, together with the related landscape pattern dynamics and its possible impacts on the natural flora and fauna are issues that need further research efforts. This research, based on multi-temporal land cover maps derived from remotely sensed data (1987, 2003, 2016) of the Central Apennines, sets out to (i) quantify land cover changes and (ii) explore forest re-growth accounting for the interdependencies between forest gain and spatial configuration through trajectory analyses. Landscape change was assessed by transition matrix. Forest composition and configuration over time were analyzed by trajectory analysis based on random sampling techniques. This approach, implemented here for the first time for analyzing forest re-growth, allows us to explore the relationship between forest gain (the percentage of landscape covered by forests) and changes in spatial pattern (patch density, edge density, and mean patch area).
