Abstract
The aim of this study was to model the relationships between forest spatial structure and potential forest vulnerability, resilience and resistance (FVRR) in Molise (Italy) on the basis of a multitemporal and multiresolution raster dataset. The FVRR index of forest ecosystems was quantified and mapped by two different approaches, such as a ‘species-specific’ and a ‘species-unspecific’ approach, modelling the proximity to a potential ecological optimum by fuzzy functions. The temporal trends between the summing up of index values of each model are similar. The ‘species-unspecific’ approach seems to be not scale dependent when applied for monitoring temporal trends, since trends of the index of low and high resolution datasets are nearly the same.
