Innovative silvicultural treatments to enhance soil biodiversity in artificial black pine stands

SelpiBioLife is a project under the category Biodiversity (LIFE13 BIO/IT/000282), for innovative or demonstration projects that consider biodiversity issues within the LIFE+ Nature and Biodiversity strand. The  main goal of the project is to demonstrate the positive effects of an innovative silvicultural treatment on black pine forests. The specific innovative treatment applied in the stands improves growth rates and stands stability and enhance the level of biodiversity of the various soil components (flora, fungi, bacteria, mesofauna, nematods and microarthropods).
