- W4313596311 abstract "Photo 1. Cultural landscape (upper panel) vs. seminatural forest landscape (lower panel) in southern Italy. The cultural landscape in the upper picture (Campotenese plain, Pollino National Park) depicts a mountain rural environment similar to that characterizing the study area (Lago del Pesce) in the 10th century. In the 14th–16th centuries, the demographic collapse due to the Black Death outbreak led to rewilding and increased forest cover and biomass. The seminatural landscape in the lower picture is from the core area of the Aspromonte National Park, where the Italian Forest Service (today Carabinieri Forestali) restored since 1960 a mixed forest of Fagus sylvatica, Abies alba, Quercus petraea, and Pinus nigra subsp. laricio.

Mountain pasturelands below the timberline have been historically created and maintained through the use of fire and livestock grazing. Once these pressures are reduced or removed as a consequence of socioeconomic and demographic changes, ecological succession takes place, and the woody vegetation increases. The image above is shown the first phase of secondary succession with low-growing shrubs of the pioneer species Juniperus communis, acting as a nurse plant that facilitates the establishment of pioneer trees.

Silver fir is a vulnerable forest species that creates mixed forests with beech in the Mediterranean mountains. Centuries of intensive land and forest use (fire, grazing, and coppicing) have reduced silver fir populations and promoted pure beech stands in most of the Apennines. The protection ensured by National Parks and Natural Reserves is today contributing to the expansion of silver fir without any human input. Upper panel: Spontaneous silver fir regeneration in an old-growth mixed forest in Sila National Park. This natural forest habitat has high carbon stock and high biodiversity and characterized the landscape around Lago del Pesce during late Medieval and Modern times. Lower panel: Rubbio Natural Reserve (Pollino National Park) where the restoration activities promoted by the Carabinieri Forestali is allowing silver fir to regenerate in pure beech stands. Young silver fir trees do not produce pollen and their recent recolonization of seminatural beech forests still eludes palaeoecological reconstructions. Photo credit: Jordan Palli. Photo 4. How to reconstruct and study past ecological processes? Fossil pollen studies from natural archives, such as lake sediment, reveal landscape ecology through time. The sediment stores and conserves microscopic pollen grains produced by local and regional plants and provides a picture of past vegetation and ecology.
