0132684LatzThis two-year award for US-Italy collaboration on comparative research on agricultural land-use history and forest management involves Gil Latz of Portland State University and Mauro Agnoletti of the University of Florence, Italy. The research will include comparative study of policies and legal instruments for conserving sites, and evaluation of opportunities and master planning for sustainable forestry and agriculture. In particular, the research will focus on Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques for construction of a multipurpose land-use map of the Spanocchia estate and its comparison to the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller (MBR) National Historical Park, and on proposals for possible conservation options. The US researcher brings to this collaboration expertise in sustainable management of forest parks, focusing on historic land-use patterns and forest management practices that have been restored. This is complemented by Italian expertise in the creation of a topographic database and a digital model of the territory, digitization of the Tuscan Cadastre of 1832 and aerial and remote sensing information, and field work to check aerial interpretations. The results of this research are expected to contribute to contemporary forest certification policy, by gauging the impact of historical information. These results are expected to be particularly useful to subsequent analysis, comparison, and dissemination of strategies for sustainable forest management to a broad public of policy managers and landowners throughout the world.

0132684 Latz这个为期两年的奖项是为美国和意大利在农业土地使用历史和森林管理方面的比较研究而设立的，获奖者包括波特兰州立大学的Gil Latz和意大利佛罗伦萨大学的Mauro Agnoletti。 这项研究将包括对保护地点的政策和法律的文书进行比较研究，并评价可持续林业和农业的机会和总体规划。特别是，研究将侧重于地理信息系统（GIS）技术，用于构建Spanocchia地产的多用途土地使用图，并将其与Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller（MBR）国家历史公园进行比较，并就可能的保护方案提出建议。 这位美国研究人员为此次合作带来了森林公园可持续管理方面的专业知识，重点关注已恢复的历史土地使用模式和森林管理实践。 意大利在创建地形数据库和领土数字模型、1832年托斯卡纳地籍数字化以及航空和遥感信息以及检查航空解释的实地工作方面的专业知识对此进行了补充。这项研究的结果，预计将有助于当代森林认证政策，通过衡量历史信息的影响。 预期这些结果将特别有助于随后的分析、比较和向全世界广大公众的政策管理人员和土地所有者传播可持续森林管理战略。
