Early Forecasting and Monitoring System for Genetic Biodiversity Loss in Keystone Forest Tree Species (DIVERSE_GENE_WATCH)
Forests are our dearest treasure, who's resilience is compromised by strong and concerted pressure of global warming stressors. Forest resilience largely depends on high genetic diversity of key-stone forest tree species.
LIFE Model Forest. Model management of forest habitats and species bound to forest habitats and trees
This project is being implemented as part of Czech-Polish-Austrian cooperation. In the context of forest protection in Natura 2000 areas in southern Poland, northern and southern Czech Republic, and northern Austria, it is crucial to implement measures that increase biodiversity, restore habitat structure, eliminate invasive alien species, and re-establish natural processes.
Extreme climate events signature in pedunculate oak wood at rear edges of its range
Climate change, resulting in temperature rising and precipitation distribution changes, increases drought’s frequency and severity worldwide (IPCC, 2013). Severe droughts, such as the one experienced in Europe during 2018 (Schuldt et al., 2020), are serious natural disasters, leading to complicated social and economic consequences for agriculture, wildfires, and forest dieback. Populations located on the ecological boundary of the species’ distribution range are expected to be the most vulnerable and highly sensitive to climate change (Hampe and Petit, 2005) and respectively to extreme drought events.
