Andrea Giacobbe, un selvicoltore che merita di uscire dall’oblio.

Abstract

Andrea Giacobbe, a forester who deserves to get out from oblivion. The scientific production of Andrea Giacobbe, a Sicilian forester who worked in central and northern Italy in the last century, has been revisited. The aim is to highlights how his contribution to botany, forest ecology and forestry has been largely overlooked. He was the protagonist of a lively debate with the greatest forest scientists of his time, he produced 64 papers and books, but above all he proposed many innovative reforestation techniques that today should be rediscovered and applied.
