The concept of potential natural vegetation: an epitaph?
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2010 We discuss the usefulness of the concept of Potential Natural Vegetation (PNV), which describes the expected state of mature vegetation in the absence of human intervention. We argue that it is impossible to model PNV because of (i) the methodological problems associated to its definition and (ii) the issues related to the ecosystems dynamics.We ...

Long‐term vegetation stability and the concept of potential natural vegetation in the
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2015 AbstractWhen vegetation trends over time are analysed from an appropriate long‐term perspective using palaeoecological records, the concept of potential natural vegetation (PNV) is unsupported because of continual vegetation changes driven by natural or anthropic forcings. However, some palaeoecological records show long‐lasting (i.e.

Potential distribution of biomes (Potential Natural Vegetation) at 250 m spatial resolution
, 2018 Potential distribution of biomes (Potential Natural Vegetation) at 250 m spatial resolution based on the BIOME 6000 data set (8057 modern pollen-based site reconstructions). Predicted at 250 m using Ensemble Machine Learning and relief and climate variables representing the climate for the last 20+ years.

Potential natural vegetation: reburying or reboring? [PDF]
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2012 AbstractThis paper deals with the recent debate on the potential natural vegetation (PNV) concept. After reviewing its limitations with respect to understanding of the processes involved in secondary succession, spatial and temporal scaling and data processing, we still consider it a useful tool for summarizing knowledge about a territory in a way that

Soil Response to Agricultural Land Abandonment: A Case Study of a Vineyard in Northern Italy
Agronomy, 2021 Agricultural land abandonment is an emerging problem in European Union (EU), and about 11% of agricultural EU land is at high risk of abandonment in the coming 10 years. Land abandonment may have both positive and negative effects in ecosystems.
