RESTORATION OF FOREST LANDSCAPES SUPPORTED BY INNOVATIVE MODELLING AND ASSESSMENT OF DYNAMIC FOREST CONDITION AND RESTORATION PATHWAYS

Objetivo

The REFORMD project supports the EU Green Deal’s ambition to restore ecosystems and achieve climate neutrality by 2050, with a focus on restoring forests and forest landscapes under the EU Nature Restoration Regulation and the Habitats Directive. It guides competent authorities, practitioners, and modelers in designing, implementing, evaluating, and revising National Restoration Plans through a co-designed Restoration Model Toolbox, integrated with the expanded, multi-language Forest Knowledge Gateway. These tools build on updated modelling approaches, harmonised condition indicators, restoration pathway analysis, and spatial planning guidance to support ambitious yet realistic, science-based restoration targets.

REFORMD’s six objectives address key restoration challenges: (1) selecting and applying forest condition indicators and ecological thresholds; (2) improving spatial planning to enhance biodiversity, connectivity, and climate adaptation; (3) evaluating restoration pathways and trade-offs; (4) supporting EU candidate countries in aligning with EU legislation; (5) enhancing land-use and climate models by integrating restoration dynamics and biodiversity impacts; and (6) expanding practitioner-oriented guidance through AI-supported tools that utilise the multi-disciplinary and continuously growing knowledge available on the Gateway. REFORMD will pilot the Toolbox in five EU Member States (Austria, France, Italy, Poland, Sweden) and in the candidate country Albania, representing diverse forest conditions and governance systems.

REFORMD combines ecological, forestry, policy, and modelling expertise with stakeholder co-creation. Building on established relationships with key actors from regional to international level including IPCC, IPBES and UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, the project ensures practical, scalable, and policy-relevant outcomes that contribute to biodiversity recovery, climate resilience, and sustainable land use across Europe and beyond.
