Cover Story: The paper presents an automated methodology for the digital acquisition of thematic information from historical maps. A customized procedure of object-based image analysis (OBIA) and filtering was applied to digitize and georeference a map of the forest density of Trentino, which is part of the atlas “Il Trentino. Economic Statistical Illustration” by Cesare Battisti (1915). The vector map obtained was used for a qualitative and quantitative diachronic analysis of the dynamics of the wooded areas of this Alpine region. Forest coverage in this region has been documented using maps for more than two centuries. This map represents a data point in a time series that is currently studied to identify changes in forest density and pattern. This will allow the creation of scenarios for future forest evolution, supporting the preservation of ecological features and biodiversity. View this paper
