The aim of this session is to give an overview and share the developments being made in the field of interactions between forest- and snow properties and about the underlying ecological and hydrological processes under tree canopies . We particularly welcome contributions that are cross disciplinary and encompass forest ecology/soil science as well as hydrology/meteorology. The session should thus provide a basis to better understand the implications of changes in forest cover and snow regimes on ecosystem functioning and services.
Applications are sought for a two year Post-doctoral position in the Department of Botany, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. This research position is funded by the EPA and will be part of a joint initiative with Teagasc, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin and the University of...

La necessità di conoscere e comprendere lo stato e la consistenza delle risorse forestali di un determinato territorio è prerogativa intrinseca del forestale, sia esso professionista o ricercatore. I calcolatori elettronici, tramite software specifici (i Sistemi Informativi Geografici o Geographic Information Systems – GIS), offrono oggi una potente infrastruttura dedicata alla rappresentazione, gestione e analisi di modelli digitali della realtà geografica del mondo che ci circonda, superando le possibilità offerte dalle tradizionali metodologie basate sulle cartografie analogiche.
