Interazioni fra ungulati selvatici e foresta: necessità di una gestione integrata

Abstract

The management of wild animal populations in forest areas cannot disregard their most basic effects on the forest ecosystem. In order to prevent the presence of wild ungulates from causing harmful consequences to forest ecosystems, it is necessary for them to be correctly defined and maintained, sustainable density values of the number of wild ungulates. These densities must be established for the different ungulate species and, for each species, for environmentally homogeneous areas.
