“…Assessing social values of the cultural services provided by these SFP may be more related to the assessment of the landscape values [204] rather than their role as forests per se [203,205,206]. The preference for a given type of landscape increases with the number of SFP and their size [202], although our perception of the landscape and its beauty varies depending on our background and knowledge [198][199][200]207].…”

In Europe, like in many temperate lowlands worldwide, forest has a long history of fragmentation and land use change. In many places, forest landscapes consist of patches of different quality, age, size and isolation, embedded in a more or less intensively managed agricultural matrix. As potential biodiversity islets, small forest patches (SFP) may deliver several crucial ecosystem services to human society, but they receive little attention compared to large, relatively intact forest patches. Beyond their role as a biodiversity reservoir, SFP provide important in situ services such as timber and wild food (game, edible plants and mushrooms) production. At the landscape scale, SFP may enhance the crop production via physical (obstacle against wind and floods) and biological (sources of pollinators and natural enemies) regulation, but may, on the other hand, also be involved in the spread of infectious diseases. Depending on their geographic location, SFP can also greatly influence the water cycle and contribute to supply high-quality water to agriculture and people. Globally, SFP are important carbon sinks and are involved in nutrient cycles, thus play a role in climate change mitigation. Cultural services are more related to landscape values than to SFP per se, but the latter may contribute to the construction of community identity. We conclude that SFP, as local biodiversity hotspots in degraded landscapes, have the potential to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services and may even be crucial for the ecological intensification of agroecosystems. There is thus an urgent need to increase our knowledge about the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem services delivered by these SFP in agricultural landscapes.

“…Landscapes and their sounds have been recognized as being natural and cultural resources with a specific management sphere (NPS, 2004;Dumyahn and Pijanowski, 2011;Tagliafierro et al, 2013) and quiet areas preservation is a prominent aim in noise management in Europe (Maffei et al, 2013). Results from this paper have shown a noticeable divergence in terms of noise conditions at landscape scale.…”

“…Finally, based on the obtained results, current developments of this research are exploring the use of Choice Experiments (Tagliaferro et al, 2013) for designing requalification alternatives of the abandoned farms' system located inside the park, which has shown to be both a strength and a weakness of the territorial system under analysis. In particular, based on the Total Economic Value framework used for the definition of the objectives of the Park (Fig.…”

t r a c tOptimizing the multiple uses of land represents a challenge for today's governments and land managers.In particular, protected area planning should satisfy the demand for multiple land uses, while offering optimal protection of our natural resources. The present research aims at providing park's managers, as well as other stakeholders and decision makers, with a scientifically sound and practical approach to zoning protection levels and supporting the strategic planning phase in nature conservation. This paper thus proposes and tests the development of an indicators-based spatial Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis for a complex territorial system with exceptional multiple values. As a result, key conservation priorities and warning spots are identified to support the subsequent decision-making phase. The innovative value of the research stems not only from the integrated methodological approach based on the combination between spatial analysis, indicators systems and the traditional SWOT analysis, but also from the contextual characteristics and physical extension of the area under investigation. Moreover, the integrated and innovative framework proposed in the paper has also international significance, thanks to the possibility of replicating the research strategy and methodological approach in other contexts.
