Descripción del proyecto
Cómo se adaptan los bosques al cambio climático
Los bosques desempeñan un papel importante en el ciclo del carbono europeo, pero también son vulnerables al cambio climático. El proyecto ASFORCLIC, financiado con fondos europeos, estudiará la cadena de valor de la madera de bosques. En el proyecto, coordinado por la Universidad Mendel de Brno (República Checa), se reunirá a institutos de Alemania, Austria , Eslovenia y Suecia para investigar los efectos de los cambios en el medio ambiente sobre el espectro, la composición estructural, la salud y el crecimiento de especies arbóreas forestales, y para analizar las distintas estrategias de adaptación. Se estudiarán asimismo nuevos materiales de madera según los cambios que se anticipan en el surtido y las propiedades de la madera. El proyecto definirá líneas de investigación conjunta y se centrará en el apoyo prestado a investigadores noveles.
Objetivo
In order to support the ambitious goals to raise the research profile of the coordinating institution and strengthen its research excellence in the highly demanding field of global climate change impact on the forest and whole bio-based sector-leading institutions agreed to collaborate on the jointly proposed project. The central European forests and its wood industry are facing strong and rapid changes - the most prominent being the Global Climate Change. The presented twinning proposal ‘Adaption strategies in forestry under global climate change impact’ (ASFORCLIC) analyses and prepares the forest-wood value chain for these changes including higher appearance and use of the lesser-used wood species. Over the last years, the Mendel University in Brno (MENDELU) has become a nucleus for an expert forum of partners in Central, Northern and Eastern Europe that facilitates integrated research activities and enhances communication among scientists, technologists, policy decision-makers, economists, and the public. Within the project, the participating institutions will form three working groups (WGs): (1) forest production and environment – (2) wood quantity and qualities – (3) market, economics and policy. WG1 focuses on the effects of the changing environment on forests’ tree species spectrum and structural composition, health and growth, and analyses different adaption strategies. WG2 studies the utilization of new wood-material under anticipated changes in wood assortments and properties. New material can be adapted and modified, or even be used for completely new products on the market. WG3 will accompany the changes in forests and wood products from an economic perspective and investigate how political decisions support promising adaption strategies. The project focuses on the definition of joint research avenues within and also gives specifically focus on the support provided to the Early-stage researchers.
