1 Nancy Forest Research group : A Cluster of Excellence related to EFICENT objectives ARBRE means Advanced Research on the Biology of tree and Forest Ecosystems ARBRE s overarching goal is to guarantee forests sustained ability to produce quality goods and services in a changing environment. Recognising that forest resilience, and its productivity, both stem from a wide range of biological and biophysical processes, ARBRE centers its research agenda on the interactions between processes at micro-, meso-, and macro-scales.

2 ARBRE was launched by the University of Lorraine, INRA & AgroParisTech Awarded a total budget of 7,500,000 on 8 years ( ) ARBRE is a consortium of 8 Research Departments: Joint Research Laboratory for Forest Economics (LEF) - UMR 356 Joint Research Unit for Forest and Wood Resource Studies (LERFoB) - UMR 1092 Joint Research Unit for Dynamics of Genomes and Microbial Adaptation (DynAMic) - UMR 1128 Joint Research Unit for Tree/Microorganism Interactions (IaM) - UMR 1136 Joint Research Unit for Forest Ecology and Ecophysiology (EEF) - UMR 1137 Research Unit for Forest Ecosystem Biogeochemistry (BEF) - UR 1138 Research Unit for the Study and Research of Wood Materials (LERMAB) - UR 4370 Research Unit for Forest Inventory (LIF) National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information (IGN) and 4 Partners (Administration, Technical & Innovation Centers): National Forests Office (ONF), National Center for Forest Owners (CNPF-IDF), Regional Center for Innovation and Wood Industries Technology Transfer (CRITT-Bois), Observatory for European Forests (OEF - European Forest Institute), ARBRE Governance: A Scientific Director & a Steering Committee define the scientific strategy, identify the key strategic issues and allocate the grants and funds (validated by a Local SAB and International SAB)

3 110 researchers, 90 staff engineers & technicians 27 post-doctoral fellows 71 graduate students 298 people 4 workpackages WP1 Tree-Microbe Interactions/ Systems Biology Key words: forest ecosystemsand resource management WP4 Economic Valuation of Forest Ecosystem Services WP2 Forest Ecosystem Functioning & Dysfunction in a Changing Environment WP3 Wood Quality & New Green Products ARBRE makes use of state-of-the-art Users Technical Facilities and Long Term Observatories (LTOs) (e.g. ICOS (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) & ANAE-Europe).
