Adaptation of FORest management to CLIMATE variability: an ecological approach - AForClimate (LIFE AFORCLIMATE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2022,

Background Climate change is known to influence forest tree growth response and the CO2 cycle. Dendroclimatological research has shown that the climate signal, species composition, and growth trends have changed in different types of forest ecosystems during the last century. Under current and demonstrated changes in climate variability at geographic, reg ...

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Background In Mediterranean and Apennine woodlands a simplification of forestry structure/patterns can be easily and progressively recognised. This trend negatively affects mainly deciduous species, and it is caused by a wide series of factors, including the ageing of traditional coppice woodlands and limited knowledge of innovative management patterns. ...
