Integrative Forest Management indicators in Italian practice magazine
A new contribution in the Italian forestry practice magazine Sheerwood is spotlighting the TRANSFORMIT project’s work as a promising step toward more measurable and integrative forest management. Presented by Silvia Bruschini, the article focuses on the set of 17 key indicators designed by TRANSFORMIT experts to help translate complex ecological processes into practical tools for decision-making.
Indicators play a crucial role in forestry, offering measurable insights into biodiversity, forest resources, and socio-economic benefits. According to the publication, our TRANSFORMIT framework provides both quantitative and qualitative parameters that allow managers to monitor forest conditions, assess the impact of human activities, and guide sustainable practices over time.
Developed through a participatory process, these indicators are scalable from stand to landscape level and aligned with EU policy goals such as the European Green Deal. The article highlights their potential as a valuable reference for forest planning in Italy, offering a shared, science-based foundation for managing increasingly complex forest systems.
