The Adaptive Forest Management (AFM) project will be awarded for the execution of two activities – AFM Resilience and AFM Regrowth.
The first contract of AFM – AFM Resilience – is dedicated to advancing our understanding of forest resilience, pioneering EO methods to map indicators that show the capacity of forest ecosystems to withstand, adapt, and reorganize following gradual climatic changes and abrupt disturbances. AFM Resilience targets international and EU policy frameworks, supporting them with approaches for the estimation and mapping of current and future resilience of Europe’s forests.
The second contract of AFM – AFM Regrowth – focuses on the monitoring and quantification of forest regrowth, supporting improved understanding of forest recovery dynamics and their contribution to being effective carbon sinks in the future. AFM Regrowth targets both policies of the EU and international/national frameworks, monitoring and analysing the post-disturbance, natural, or post-restoration trajectories of vegetation.
