From Forests to Fields to Sustainable Rural Landscapes: A Multiscale Framework for Quantifying Biodiversity and Climate Interrelationships (TIF-CER)

Ziel

TIF-CER aims to fundamentally transform our understanding of how tree-based agricultural systems shape biodiversity, farm productivity, and climate and ecosystem resilience (CER) across spatial, ecological, and temporal scales. This groundbreaking project will deliver the world’s first comprehensive, multi-scalar mechanistic assessment of the sustainability of Trees in Farm systems (TIFs), spanning tropical to temperate agroclimatic zones.

At its core, TIF-CER will generate definitive, mechanistic evidence on how the structure, age, density, and species composition of TIFs shape microclimate and climate services, carbon dynamics, biodiversity, water balance, and farm productivity - from individual trees to entire catchments. By innovatively capturing the spatial and functional dimensions of TIFs, with tasks delivered in six interconnected work packages, the project will unlock critical new insights into tree–microclimate–biodiversity–productivity interactions and emergent socio-ecological behaviors across large-scale climates. This is essential for reassessing earth’s planetary boundaries and informing scalable, climate-smart land-use strategies.

The project is inherently interdisciplinary, integrating ecological science with agronomy, hydrology, remote sensing, geomorphology, and policy analysis. TIF-CER leverages cutting-edge technologies — including terrestrial laser scanning, ground radar, UAV-LiDAR, advanced ecosystem and crop models, and AI-driven data analysis — alongside rigorous field experimentation and socio-ecological systems integration. Producing predictive, multi-scale models and a robust spatial multi-criteria optimization framework that integrates model outputs to generate spatially explicit “restoration benefit surfaces” will guide national and global land use policies and practice, enabling science-based investments in rural tree restoration that reverse biodiversity loss, enhance climate resilience, and promote sustainable, equitable land use.
