Abstract

The Piedmont Region has recently adopted a resolution (DGR 24-4638 of 06/02/17) in preparation of the forestry carbon credit voluntary market on the basis of a document, the so-called Guidelines, with the aim to define the general framework of silvicultural practices to be assumed as ordinary in terms of wood logging indices.
