1 Mapping forest research activities in the Mediterranean region G. Scarascia-Mugnozza, G. Di Matteo, S. Bajocco, P. Nardi (CRA) J.C. Valette, G. Herrero, A. Jambois (INRA)

2 Mediterranean forests: the most important ecological infrastructure of the region High biological diversity, 25,000 species of vascular plants Impacts on the most strategic resources: water and soil High relative importance of non-wood products and non-market services Their sustainability is threatened by climate and land use changes

3 Large socio-economic differences within the Mediterranean region, but a common environment

4 Why mapping Mediterranean research capacities? Who... How many... What... Where......conducting forest research

5 CHARACTERIZING MEDITERRANEAN FORESTRY RESEARCH

6 FORESTERRA: Enhancing FOrest RESearch in the MediTERRAnean through improved coordination and integration A total of 81 forms have been submitted 48 from research organizations and the rest from funding bodies and programs

7 PARTICIPANT COUNTRIES Countries participating in the FORESTERRA Consortium. Questionnaires survey coverage - Green: complete; Blue: partial; Orange: information collected directly through documentation from main scientific organizations.

8 Information Forest research structures (number, where) Research staff (permanent, non-permanent) Budget for research (overall, for forestry) Major research subjects Research projects Scientific publications (how many, journals) Research infrastructures

23 Some conclusions High geographic and thematic fragmentation of research capacities in the Mediterranean Considerable number of scientific publications on ISI journals, from forest research, in Mediterranean countries Potential for substantial improvements within the forest research sector, in Mediterranean countries Major opportunities exist to reinforce the coordination and integration of forest research capacities and programmes to reduce the high fragmentation and to maximize the impacts of Mediterranean forest research Large added value are expected from creating a truly integrated research community and improving quality research on forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean area
