Biological control manufacturers in Europe develop novel biological control products to support the implementation of Integrated Pest Management in agriculture and forestry (BIOCOMES)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

"The objective of BIOCOMES is to develop 11 new biological control agents (BCAs) for key markets in European agriculture and forestry. BCAs were identified through market analysis by six manufactures of biological control products. BCAs will primarily be for use in open field crops of vegetables (3), of which 2 are also for use in protected crops, arable crops (3), fruit crops (3), and three diffe ...

Multipurpose trees and non-wood forest products a challenge and opportunity (STAR TREE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Europe has set a clear and ambitious strategy (Europe 2020 Strategy) to base its economy on a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Part of this concept is to initiate the development towards an innovative, resource efficient and bio-based (bio-economy) European economy. Such development should contribute to economic growth and the creation of jobs, while mitigating climate change effects and p ...

Knowledge Based Climate Mitigation Systems for a Low Carbon Economy (COMPLEX)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

The science of complex systems distinguishes linear from non-linear dynamics. Simpler systems can often be satisfactory described by linear models, but complex systems require non-linear models that can capture more of the characteristics of such systems, such as thresholds, feedback loops, avalanche effects, and irreversibility. Linear systems can be validated by aligning models to the past and u ...

Future-oriented integrated management of European forest landscapes (INTEGRAL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

"The vital environmental and socio-economic role of European forests is well documented and acknowledged in policy documents of both the European Union and its member states. However, there are critical incoherencies within and between trans-national, national and local forest-related land use policies, the central issue being mismatches between the policies and their implementation at the landsca ...

Solutions for adapted forest management strategies under the threat of climate change - learning from a climate gradient from Germany over Italy to South Africa (CLIMATE-FIT FORESTS)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

Forests play an important role in carbon fixation and in providing CO2 neutral raw materials. Due to predicted climate changes it is important to know to what extent European forests will be impacted by climate change, how best to mitigate these potential changes through adaptive forest management strategies, maintain current carbon fixation rates and minimize carbon emissions by forest operations ...

Hydrometeorological Controls and Warning Procedures for Shallow Landslides in an Alpine Region (HYLAND)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

"Landslides are among the most widespread geological hazards on Earth. Every year in Europe, landslide-related disasters result in fatalities, property losses and environmental degradation. The tremendous societal and economical impact of this hazard necessitates the need for measures to mitigate the risk. This work is primarily focused on shallow landslides and debris flows triggered by rainfall ...
