The journal “eco.mont” – Journal of protected mountain areas research and management – was published for the first time in June 2009. The journal was founded as a joint initiative of the Alpine Network of Protected Areas (ALPARC), the International Scientific Committee on Research in the Alps (ISCAR), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Innsbruck. The journal aims to highlight research on and management issues in protected areas in the Alps without excluding other protected mountain areas in Europe or overseas. Its target audiences are scientists from all related disciplines, managers of protected areas and interested individuals including practitioners, visitors, teachers, etc. The journal presents peer-reviewed articles in English by authors who research protected mountain areas and management issues within these areas. It's published twice a year as a collaboration of the Austrian Academy of Sciences Press – responsible for the e-version – and Innsbruck University Press – responsible for the print version.

Die Zeitschrift „eco.mont“ – Zeitschrift zur Forschung in Gebirgsschutzgebieten – erschien im Juni 2009 zum ersten Mal. Die Zeitschrift wurde auf Initiative des Netzwerks Alpiner Schutzgebiete (ALPARC), der Schweizer Akademie der Naturwissenschaften (ISCAR), der Österreichischen Akademie für Wissenschaft (ÖAW) und der Universität Innsbruck gegründet. Sie hat das Ziel, Themen zu behandeln, die gleichzeitig Forschung und Verwaltung in und über die Schutzgebiete der Alpen betreffen, ohne dabei andere Gebirgsschutzgebiete Europas oder anderswo auszuschließen. Diese neue Zeitschrift richtet sich an ein Publikum von Wissenschaftlern der verschiedensten Fachbereiche, an die Verwalter von Schutzgebieten und an alle sonstigen Interessierten, Praktiker, Besucher, Lehrpersonal etc. einbegriffen. Die Zeitschrift veröffentlicht begutachtete Beiträge auf Englisch von Autoren, die Fragen der Gebirgsschutzgebieten und deren Verwaltung forschen. Sie erscheint zweimal pro Jahr, auf der Basis der gemeinsamen Anstrengungen des Verlags der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, der für die digitale Fassung verantwortlich ist, und der Presse der Universität Innsbruck, verantwortlich für die gedruckte Fassung.

Abstract

Sweet chestnut cultures are a major component of the vegetation in many large protected areas of the Southern Alps. Since Roman times, vast areas of Southern and Western Europe have been covered by groves and coppices of sweet chestnut trees (Castanea sativa MILL.). Having replaced the original broadleaved forest, they used to play a vital role in traditional agriculture. Chestnut cultivation was even more important in terms of producing a substitute for cereals (bread) than for the production of timber. With changing economic conditions and the onset of chestnut blight (caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica) in the 20th century, chestnut cultivation lost almost all of its economic and cultural significance. In the last 20 years, there has been a renewed interest in preserving and replanting chestnuts. Today, this includes marketing strategies, landscape conservation and cultural history aspects. As chestnut cultivation is widespread, especially in the southern part of the Alps, its study provides links between landscape ecological research and sustainable development. This article describes different types of chestnut use and the characteristic landscapes thus generated as well as some aspects of biodiversity and landscape protection involved in the sustainable revaluation of that endogenous rural resource. The focus is on the role of the various actors, parks, regional planning, conservation and agricultural authorities as well as private organizations.
