2 The Eucalypt Ecosystem 1976 A structured, multidisciplinary, objective-oriented and socio-economic relevant research unit Industry driver 1888 Caima Pulp Co, bisulphite pulp 1954 Cacia, sulfate pulp 1961 Constância, Caima 1964 Setúbal, Socel-Portucel 1967 Figueira da Foz, Celbi 1971 VV de Rodão, Celtejo-Portucel 1973 Viana do Castelo, Celnorte-Portucel 1985 Figueira da Foz, Soporcel Environmental & social threats Water depletion Nutrient depletion Soil impoverishment- Biodiversity loss

3 The Eucalypt Ecosystem 11 research lines The physical environment: the stand climate. F. Reis Cunha Studies of communities. C. M. Baeta Neves Nutrient balance. Raúl Sardinha Hydrological balance. Zósimo Castro Rego Pedo-evolution. Manuel Madeira Productivity and energy and organic matter balances. Luís Barreto Ecochemistry and alellopathy. Raúl Bruno de Sousa Types of ecosystems and biomass characteristics. Luís Seabra Biological costs of eucalypt plantations. C. Serrão Nogueira Eucalypt sylviculture. A. Azevedo Gomes Ecological and socio.economic impacts. A. A. Monteiro Alves

7 Research challenges emerged that were cross-cutting species, ecosystems and countries. A scientific area-oriented organization was adopted 7 research lines 2002 Ecology of forest ecosystems. João Santos Pereira River resources and wetlands. António Fabião Remore sensing and geographic analysis. José Cardoso Pereira Inventory and forest resource modelling. Margarida Tomé Silviculture systems. Ângelo Oliveira Economy and management of forest resouces. José Borges Science and technology of forest products. Helena Pereira

8 Global risks and challenges increased, as well as systems complexity, calling for an integrated and multidisciplinary approach targeted to, these challenges: e.g. climate change, fires, biotic attacks, societal demands, energy, glabal markets and consumers Four research areas - ecosystem response to global change drivers - environment-society interactions - sustainable multiresource and services management - product innovation, green economy, biorefineries Three comprehensive R&D strands CORKNOW: integrative cork oak and cork chain ADAPT&SERVE: adaptive management by ecological linkages PLANT4FUTURE: sustainable plantation intensification
