Optimizing forest allocation asks not only for integration of multiple services but also taking into account multiple risks affecting forest processes and functions (Yousefpour et al. 2017). Moreover, climate change is challenging forest resilience and expected to change the severity and frequency of biotic and abiotic disturbances.

The risk of introducing non-native Pests and Pathogens (PnPs) into Europe has increased exponentially since the 1800s1 . The main reasons are, on the one hand the rise in trade transporting plant material or wood products, and on the other hand the effect of the weakening of ecosystems and favourable conditions for pest and pathogens […]

The FIRE-RES project aims to provide the EU with the capacity to manage the projected increase in forest fires under a harsher climate. It will deploy a series of innovation actions across eleven living labs located in Europe and Chile, during the period 2021-2025.

One of these Living Labs is “Landes de Gascogne” in Nouvelle-Aquitaine a […]

Planting forests for carbon-neutral economies, sustainable landscapes and livelihoods

By 2050 the overall consumption of industrial round wood is expected to increase by 37%1, requiring us to understand and scale up nature-based solutions to address growing global needs in forests products and services. For this reason, the World Forestry Week Side Event, “Planting Forests for Carbon-Neutral […]
