Description
The aim of this action, realised within the framework of the LIFE+TEN project, is to study how to safeguard the requirements of the correct management of the wet woodland habitat (91E0) and the species associated with it with those of land protection, so as to arrive at the predisposition of specific clear, pragmatic and immediately usable guidelines within the management of the surface water reticulum of the Autonomous Province of Trento.
Wet woods, and more generally the hygrophilous vegetation that borders watercourses, are among the environmental types that deserve the most attention due to their conservation value and at the same time their rarity in the province. In the past, land reclamation and hydraulic regulation interventions have wiped out these habitats, while now they are the subject of regular 'riverbed cleaning' interventions linked to hydraulic safety requirements.
Expected results
a specific manual describing the best management techniques to be implemented in Trentino in order to achieve the correct management of wet woods and, more generally, of riverbed vegetation. An English language version is planned.
