Abstract

The habitats target of the project are productive forests with habitats listed in the Habitats Directive as
91K0 - Illyrian Fagus sylvatica forests and 9130 - Asperulo-Fagetum beech forests. These habitats host
several species included in the Habitats Directive and Birds Directive (e.g.
Picus canus, Dendrocopos medius, Lucanus cervus, Buxbaumia viridis), which are generally defined
saproxylic, i.e. species that depend, during some part of their life cycle, upon wounded or decaying
woody material, from living or dead trees. The concern towards the conservation of these organisms
has brought the establishment of the Recommendation R (88) 10 of the Committee of the Ministers to
the Member States on the protection of saproxylic organism and their biotopes. However, these
recommendations are very rarely put into practice in productive forests, due to the lack of operational
frameworks that can demonstrate the economic feasibility and sustainability of deadwood
conservation
