• Key message A multi-criteria analysis can be an interesting tool to assess the effects of silvicultural treatments on ecosystem services supply. In the degraded forests, thinning has a positive effect on the provision of ecosystem services such as timber and bioenergy production, climate change mitigation, and recreational attractiveness. • Context The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment highlights the importance of the ecosystem services for human well-being and for maintaining conditions for life on Earth. Silvicultural treatments can improve the provision of ecosystem services to increase local communities’ well-being. • Aims The aim of this study is to understand the effects of two-forest restoration practices (selective thinning and thinning from below) on three ecosystem services (wood production, climate change mitigation, and recreational opportunities) in an Italian case study. • Methods A multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) was performed to compare the effects of three forest restoration scenarios (baseline, selective thinning, thinning from below) on ecosystem services. Wood production was estimated considering the local market prices and the wood volumes harvested, while climate change mitigation was quantified through the C-stock and C-sequestration changes in carbon pools due to the silvicultural treatments. The recreational activities were assessed through a questionnaire survey. A sample of 200 visitors was interviewed face-to-face to estimate the impact of thinning on recreational activities. • Results The results of the MCDA show that the selective thinning scenario is the optimal forest restoration practice to increase the recreational attractiveness and the wood production in the study area. • Conclusion The results concerning the effects of the silvicultural treatments on ecosystem services supply are an important tool to support decision makers.

改善生态系统服务供应的森林恢复策略的多标准分析：在意大利中部的应用

• 关键信息 多标准分析可以成为评估造林处理对生态系统服务供应影响的有趣工具。在退化的森林中，间伐对生态系统服务的提供具有积极影响，例如木材和生物能源生产、减缓气候变化和娱乐吸引力。• 背景千年生态系统评估强调了生态系统服务对人类福祉和维持地球生命条件的重要性。造林处理可以改善生态系统服务的提供，从而提高当地社区的福祉。• 目的 本研究的目的是了解两种森林恢复做法（选择性间伐和自下而上间伐）对三种生态系统服务（木材生产、减缓气候变化、和娱乐机会）在意大利案例研究中。• 方法 执行多标准决策分析 (MCDA) 以比较三种森林恢复情景（基线、选择性间伐、自下而上间伐）对生态系统服务的影响。木材产量是根据当地市场价格和木材采伐量估算的，而气候变化减缓则通过造林处理导致的碳库中的碳储量和碳封存变化进行量化。娱乐活动通过问卷调查进行评估。对 200 名访客的样本进行了面对面访谈，以评估变薄对娱乐活动的影响。• 结果 MCDA 的结果表明，选择性间伐方案是提高研究区休闲吸引力和木材产量的最佳森林恢复实践。• 结论 有关造林处理对生态系统服务供应影响的结果是支持决策者的重要工具。
