A series of webinars are hosted by Rossella Guerrieri as part of the COST Action CLEANFOREST she is coordinating and within the Sustainable forest management course (Bachelor in Land and Agro-forestry technologies).
Agenda:
15:00-15:30: "Supporting EU Climate Goals through Improved Forest Monitoring, Modelling and Management – Mirco Migliavacca, PhD. Scientific/Research Officer, JRC of the European Commission (on-line) Brief description of the talk: Research needs for forest monitoring and carbon modeling to support the EU's climate objectives
15:30-16:00: “The role of EU Soil Observatory in solid science and policy support” - Panos Panagos, PhD. Scientific/Research Officer and Project Leader of EU Soil Observatory (EUSO), JRC of the European Commission (on-line). Brief description of the talk: the EU Soil Observatory's (EUSO) role in Soil Monitoring Law: policy, legal framework, and soil health monitoring for sustainable soil management by 2050. The role of EUSO in supporting the implementation of the HORIZON Soil Mission - a research programme of 1 Billion Euros. The role of EUSO in supporting EU Agro-environmental policies with solid Science.
16:00-16:30: “Modeling soil respiration in deciduous oak and broadleaf evergreen ecosystems in Greece” - Stavroula Zacharoudi, PhD student in Democritus University of Thrace, MSc. Forester, and Scientific Trainee in JRC of the European Commission Brief description of the talk: CO2 emissions are one of the primary causes of global warming. Soil respiration known as carbon dioxide (CO2) is released from the soil into the atmosphere and is one of the most significant processes in the terrestrial carbon cycle, which provides between 75 to 101 Pg C year−1. A soil respiration new modeling approach was developed based on Mediterranean deciduous oaks and broadleaf evergreen ecosystems in Greece."
