Abstract:
The chestnut
stands (Castanea sativa Mill.), situated on the foothills of
Europe betweeen forests and agricultural land, are important, both
from the scenic and environmental point of view, and for the local
economy and culture. These agro-ecosystems are threatened by the
activity of man, by global change, by fungal diseases and by the
poor possibility, at the local level, of the comercialisation of
their products. The project comes from a multidisciplinary
scientific experience in biology, genetic improvement, ecology,
ecophysiology, pathology and economy, with the aim of giving valid
scientific solutions for the optimisation of the management and a
correct use of similar ecosystems, for a real sustainable
development.
