Scarascia Mugnozza DIBAF, University of Tuscia Viterbo and CNR ISAFOM and ALForLab project partners EFIMED Week 2016 Smart Mediterranean forestry, bioeconomy and social integration 7-9 November Popilia Resort, Calabria, Italy

2 Rationale why it is important why in Calabria - Mediterranean the ALForLab project challenges and implementation Concluding remarks EFIMED Week 2016 Smart Mediterranean forestry, bioeconomy and social integration 7-9 November Popilia Resort, Calabria, Italy

4 IPCC 2014: forecasted changes Warming Drought Already occurred Very likely Very likely Likely (Mediterranean) Future Early 21st Century Late 21st century Likely Likely Low confidence Virtually certain Virtually certain Likely IPCC, 5AR, 2014

5 Carbon EFIMED Week 2016 Smart Mediterranean forestry, bioeconomy and social integration 7-9 November Popilia Resort, Calabria, Italy

6 Ruolo della gestione forestale per l Italia Italian Forests: ha, 35% of land surfacee (INFC, 2015 CFS e CREA-MPF) CO 2 absorption: ~80-90 Mt CO 2 (ISPRA, National Emission Inventory) Forest management contribution to Kyoto targets: 10 Mt CO 2 per year (10% of burden)

7 : Overall increase in productivity Nemani et al, Science, 2003 Remote sensing and models N deposition, CO 2, climate

8 : overall decrease (see Europe and Mediterranean) Warm and dry years Zhao and Running, Science, 2010

9 Changes in imortant italian forests IPCC scenarios Fagus sylvatica Quercus cerris Quercus ilex Mancini, 2011 (PhD Thesis); Vitale et al., 2013

10 Hydrology - water EFIMED Week 2016 Smart Mediterranean forestry, bioeconomy and social integration 7-9 November Popilia Resort, Calabria, Italy

11 Forests are key players in the hydrological cycle Jackson et al., 2008

12 Evapotranspiration global map Hetherington and Woodward, 2003 Numbers.. Annual precipitation km 3 H 2 O Total transpiration by vegetation km 3 H 2 O = two times the H 2 O content of atmosphere

13 Water depth due to changes in precipitation and warming Debito idrico: High latitudes and humid tropics: % Low latitudes and sub-tropical drier zones: % IPCC

14 Carbon and water cycles are tightly connected GPP respond clearly to precipitation amount Beer et al., 2010, Science

15 Ecosystem services EFIMED Week 2016 Smart Mediterranean forestry, bioeconomy and social integration 7-9 November Popilia Resort, Calabria, Italy

16 Action ForBD - Insetti Cansiglio CNR and strong cooperation of CNBF-CFS National Center of Forest Biodiversity of CFS Bosco Fontana

17 Overall impact on biodiversity The largest impact will be in Mediterranean areas due to the concurrent presence of drivers Sala et al, Science, 2000

22 THE PROJECT AlForLab is a project funded by the Research and Innovation National Operative Programme (PON). It is part of the Materials-Energy-Environment (MEA) cluster of Calabria Region Objectives: -to develop and integrate innovative technologies to enhance forest and environmental resources of Calabria Region -all the steps of the environment-forest-wood chain: from the forest stand to the exploitation, logistic and advanced wood products. - advanced inventory for forest and ecosystem services (e.g. water, carbon sequestration, erosion and fire prevention) - assisted planning for sustainable forest management (DSS) - Integrated information sistem for forest resources (SIRFOR) using mapping, remote and proximal sensing, forest models, LIDAR, etc

26 WORKPACKAGE 2 WP2. Forest planning, biomass and certification Integrated planning and management of the forest-wood chain for sustainable exploitation based on continuously updated information Forest planning Biomass Landscape Fires Certification DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM

27 WORKPACKAGE 3 WP3. Exploitation, mechanisation and logistic Experimentation on harvest/transformation methods to reduce costs, to evaluate wood quality in the forests to improve the logistic of making wood available to secondary and tertiary users Valuing forest-wood chains Traceability of products and origin of wood

28 WORKPACKAGE 4 WP4. Wood technology and advanced products To value local wood material for innovative products: Cross-lam, laminated wood structures, mixed solutions wood-fiber. Low-impact glueing solutions (resins, tannins, etc.) to imrpove technological features of wood Housing modules Natural glues Nanotechnologies Housing modules New products
