🌱 Exciting times at the #HoliSoils training course on soil sampling and classification, currently underway near Eberswalde, #Germany! Yesterday participants took part in an engaging field day, where they gained hands-on experience in: 🔎 soil sampling 🔎 humus sampling and humus type classification 🔎 soil type classification following WRB Participants also had a chance to hear valuable insights on the Schorfheide region, where the training is taking place, from a local #forest expert 🌳 This training course is organised by the #HoliSoils project, in collaboration with ISRIC - World Soil Information and the Thünen Institute. Have a look at these pictures of participants getting their hands dirty to learn more about #ForestSoils! #SoilScience | #Forestry | #LULUCF | #H2020 | #HorizonEU

Look like Brown Podzols or that’s an E and they’re Fe Podzols. US = Alfisols or Spodosols?

🌍 To effectively conserve biodiversity, we must prioritise genetic diversity. A recent commentary in Nature Magazine by #EFIMED researcher Magda Bou Dagher Kharrat and resident INRAE researcher Bruno Fady highlights that genetic diversity is crucial for resilience against environmental changes, like global warming. Governments need to establish protected areas that allow natural selection to occur without human interference. 📉 🌳 Currently, there are only three genetic reserves among over 300,000 protected areas globally. This oversight is due to a focus on species and landscapes rather than the genetic variations within them, leading to short-term #conservation goals that neglect long-term ecological health. 🔄 It's time for a paradigm shift in conservation strategies. By embracing the intrinsic value of genetic diversity, we can enhance #biodiversity resilience and ensure the survival of ecosystems for future generations. Read more about this vital topic in our latest #MedForest blog article! https://lnkd.in/dzvseiDT #Biodiversity #GeneticDiversity #EnvironmentalScience #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateChange #EcosystemHealth #NatureConservation

🐐 🌳 Silvo-pastoralism, an #agroforestry practice integrating trees, pastures, and livestock, is transforming #Mediterranean landscapes by preventing forest fires and promoting biodiversity. This nature-based approach boosts land productivity while reducing climate risks, playing a key role in conserving ecosystems and traditional rural livelihoods. 🔥 🌲 The Fo.Re.S.T.A.S. Agency is leading fire-smart initiatives in #Sardinia, using goat grazing, mechanical thinning, and multipurpose machinery to lower combustible biomass. By collaborating with local shepherds, these projects reduce #wildfire risks and revitalise rural areas impacted by #climatechange. 🌱 🐑 Silvo-pastoralism is more than fire prevention—it’s a pathway to rural #resilience. Recognising shepherds as ecosystem service providers fosters sustainable land management practices that enhance collaboration and protect vulnerable landscapes.

🌿 💻 Get ready for the 8th Mediterranean Forest Week (MFW) by joining our #webinar series, where we'll explore key issues shaping the future of #Mediterranean forests. 🌳 Throughout October, experts will discuss how valuing ecosystem services can strengthen #forest conservation, strategies for building fire-resilient territories, and the importance of adaptive management as species face climate-related range shifts. We’ll also highlight innovative approaches to #conservation, bridging science, practice, and communication to support #biodiversity as well as how cities can transform their green spaces to address biodiversity loss, climate challenges, and create healthier urban environments. 📝 Whether you're involved in #policy, #research, or hands-on forest management, these webinars are your chance to engage with top experts and gain practical insights. Join us live or catch the recordings to ensure you're ready for the #8MFW in November! https://lnkd.in/e4efbxEP #FAOForestry #EcosystemServices #WildfireResilience #ClimateAdaptation #SustainableForestry #UrbanForests #Biodiversity #GreenCities #NatureBasedSolutions #ForestManagement #ResilientLandscapes European Forest Institute | Silva Mediterranea | IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation | UNECE/FAO Forests | CREAF | Centre de Ciència i Tecnologia Forestal de Catalunya | Cesefor | Association Internationale des Forêts Méditerranéennes | Mediterranean Youth Task Force | Mediterranean Model Forest Network
