NEWFOR - NEW technologies for a better mountain FORest timber mobilization (NEWFOR)

Start date: Aug 31, 2011, End date: Aug 30, 2014,

The role played by mountain forests is extremely varied. Their contributions to the stability and overall development of life and economic factors in mountainous regions are highly significant. Due mainly to topographic conditions, managing mountain forests is significantly more cost intensive than in plain ones. A good knowledge of forest biomass location, characteristics, mobilization conditions ...

CARBON balance drafting and new resources management tools according to Kyoto PROtocol (CARBON-PRO) (CARBON-PRO)

Start date: Mar 31, 2006, End date: Dec 30, 2007,

Areas used by agriculture and forestry are important for storing atmospheric CO2, which is a by-product of employing conventional sources of energy. It is also one of the greenhouse gases mainly responsible for global climate change. An adequate management of agriculture and forestry resources might help to reduce the impact of CO2 emissions. In the Kyoto Protocol some strategies have already been ...
