S. Sofia (FC) 18 Giugno 2020, a partire dalle 16:30. Evento di presentazione della Fondazione “AlberItalia” – Progetto “60 milioni di alberi”. L’evento co-organizzato da SISEF prevede sia la partecipazione in presenza che quella per via telematica.
The envisaged work includes forest modelling with the Carbon Budget Model (CBM-CFS, as adapted to the EU context) aimed at verifying GHG inventories of EU countries, supporting the implementation of EU forest/climate policies, exploring scenarios of forest mitigation potential in the EU, and publishing in scientific journals
This workshop promotes hands-on networking and exchanges about innovation and developing priorities among the forest research community. The objectives are to present relevant innovative initiatives in Italy and on an international level and to connect current research and practices to further improve existing projects and provide inspiration.

The Decree on Climate 2019 focuses on reforestation campaigns and silviculture actions applied to existing forests of Italian metropolitan cities, incurring a total expenditure of €30 million in the next two years. By supporting urban and peri-urban forestry programmes, the decree represents an innovative scheme within the framework of environmental legislation on climate actions.
La Fondazione Laudato Sì, con il Vescovo di Rieti e il supporto di importanti personalità vicine alle tematiche ambientali, ha lanciato un appello a piantare 1 albero per ogni cittadino italiano per contrastare la crisi climatica. Istituzioni, Associazioni, Imprese e tecnici che hanno aderito all’appello si sono dati appuntamento a Palermo dal 12 al 15 novembre 2019 (XII Congresso della Società Italiana di Selvicoltura ed Ecologia Forestale – SISEF) per avviare un percorso…
The Rivers and Lochs Institute (RLI), Inverness College UHI, seeks a Senior Researcher in the field of molecular population genomics. Reporting to the RLI Director, the successful candidate will take over management and oversight of an existing portfolio of research projects on the use of genomic technology in the sustainable management of freshwater biodiversity, including leading the supervision of PhD students. Working with the RLI Director, they will also work on the strategic development and sourcing of funding for infrastructure and new projects in this key area of freshwater science, ecology and biodiversity management.
Changing climate conditions are 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 the geographic, regional, and local levels tree growth shows also variability and trends that can be non-stationary during time even at relatively short distance between sites. In forest planning and management, yield tables, site quality indices, age class, rate of growth, and spatial distribution are some of the most used tools and parameters. However, these methods do not involve climate variability during time although climate is the main driver in trends of forest and tree growth. Previous research warns about the risk that forest management under changing climatic conditions could amplify their negative effects.
Se non ci fossero le foreste non ci sarebbero gli incendi boschivi, il problema sarebbe risolto all’origine, e non dovremmo più confrontarci con incendi drammatici come quelli del giugno 2017 in Portogallo, o come quelli che stanno divampando in tutta Italia in questo luglio di fuoco. Tuttavia, non potendo rinunciare alle foreste e ai loro servizi fondamentali (protezione del suolo, biodiversità, turismo, energia, fornitura di materia prima rinnovabile) dobbiamo necessariamente confrontarci con il fuoco nei sistemi forestali e imparare a governare questo fenomeno partendo dalle sue radici, ovvero dalla conoscenza e dalla gestione dei boschi, delle foreste e delle altre terre boscate in dinamica evoluzione ed interazione con gli spazi rurali. Solo in questo modo potremo mitigare gli effetti di una nuova generazione di incendi.

C’è qualcosa di “suggestivo” nelle valutazione dei progetti FIRB e MIUR-COFIN. Giunge notizia di progetti che hanno conseguito valutazioni ben superiori a 90/100, e che sono stati esclusi. Motivo? I progetti ammessi hanno conseguito la valutazione di 100/100 o pochissimo meno.
