The study aimed at exploring the possible advantages given by an integrated approach to the study of forest plantations in rural landscape. A GIS based approach were proposed for the analysis of effects on landscape structure due to new forest artificial plantations. Landscape metrics were applied and different scenarios were compared (with and without plantations). Results showed a less incidence of artificial plantation (0.5% of study area). No significant differences were found for the indices of landscape diversity and fragmentation in the proposed alternative scenarios.

Abstract
The study aimed at exploring the possible advantages given by an integrated approach to the study of forest plantations in rural landscape. A GIS based approach were proposed for the analysis of effects on landscape structure due to new forest artificial plantations. Landscape metrics were applied and different scenarios were compared (with and without plantations). Results showed a less incidence of artificial plantation (0.5% of study area). No significant differences were found for the indices of landscape diversity and fragmentation in the proposed alternative scenarios.File in questo prodotto:
