【 摘 要 】

On 29 October 2018, a violent windstorm swept across eastern Italian Alps: thousands hectares of forests were affected and millions of trees uprooted. We warn not be in a hurry to restore artificially the forest: windstorms are natural disturbances and we should rely mostly on natural regeneration for forest recovery. It may take quite a long time in some cases, but natural regeneration will ensure diverse, productive and more resilient forests.
