Abstract
This paper analyses chestnut distribution in Calabria based on various informative layers such as CORINE Land Cover 3, 1978-1982 b/w aerial photos, 1998 digital ortophoto, management plans cartography. On the basis ofthis information the map of chestnut distribution in Calabria in scale 1:250.000 has been drawn. Further more, the work defines the field of ecological suitability of the species, in Calabria, through the parameters (e.g. climatical and geopedological) that characterize the vegetation area.
