01.08.2014

expected impact: (proposals should show how some, or all, of the following impacts will be achieved)

strengthening the methodological framework for more accurate and harmonized information derived from forest inventories and monitoring systems, above the present state of the art, able to feed into the EU information systems
further support in the development of EU policies and international processes relying on consistent forest information, such as UNFCCC96, and contribution to further development of GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) and the related GFOI initiative (Global Forest Observing Initiative)
forest management models geared to sustainable supply of wood for material and energy use, supporting further development of the bioeconomy
forest stands resilient in a continuously changing environment (including climate change), while preserving the capacity to provide for NWFP and essential ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, water regulation, soil and nutrient regulation, and recreation
