An analysis is presented of the ecological basis of the so-called “selvicoltura sistemica” (systemic silviculture). Systemic silviculture implies an “a-structured forest”: the meaning of this particular condition is discussed in the paper, exploring the different possible interpreta- tions and thus demonstrating that an “a-structured” forest can not be observed in nature. The silvicultural method proposed therefore seems to have a fragile ecological basis moving it away from a close-to-nature fo- rest management approach, which is currently believed to be the most promising one for achieving forests that provide multiple goods and services.

Abstract
An analysis is presented of the ecological basis of the so-called “selvicoltura sistemica” (systemic silviculture). Systemic silviculture implies an “a-structured forest”: the meaning of this particular condition is discussed in the paper, exploring the different possible interpreta- tions and thus demonstrating that an “a-structured” forest can not be observed in nature. The silvicultural method proposed therefore seems to have a fragile ecological basis moving it away from a close-to-nature fo- rest management approach, which is currently believed to be the most promising one for achieving forests that provide multiple goods and services.Pubblicazioni consigliate
