Résumé du projet
The process of reconstitution of this project in Italy will be long and complex. There are several types of ecosystems, like the Mediterranean scrubland, the resinous forest and the deciduous forest, all of which need a specific method. Those include inventories of areas to restore, harvests or use of burnt woods already there, management of the regeneration or surviving trees, choice of species to introduce, types of tillage, planting methods, care. The goal here is to work as much as possible with what's already there.
