Résumé :
|
The biological diversity of European forests is the result of the evolution of the communities under ecological forces such as climate, fire, competition etc. as well as of a long history of human influence. A key issue for a strategy to conserve forest biodiversity is to find principles based upon an optimal mixture of designated areas and production forests managed with considerations of biodiversity. In both categories the objectives and management to reach the aims must be based upon scientifically sound knowledge of the biological diversity and ecosystem processes. To be successful this strategy should be developed and locally adapted in close interaction with policy makers, forest owners and other stakeholders. On a pan-European scale there is a need to further develop biodiversity assessment tools; i.e. indicators of biodiversity and preferred methodologies to collect data. Validation and further definition of biodiversity indicators and/or inventory methodologies are crucial for the progress. A pan-European forest stratification, i.e. forest type classification, is needed both for a successful implementation of indicators and to facilitate the assessment to be carried out. The conference held in 1215 November 2003 in Florence, Italy under the title "Monitoring and Indicators of Forest Biodiversity in Europe From ideas to Operationality" gathered together a wide variety of scientist and experts. These proceedings compile some of the peer-reviewed papers from the conference and will hopefully contribute to a better understanding on the importance of interdisciplinary approach in forest biodiversity assessment.
