Silva Nova - Restoring soil biology and soil functions to gain multiple benefits in new forests

Activity: Other activity typesOther

Description

Our overall aim is to develop ecosystem- and landscape-scale afforestation strategies (involving soil inoculation) that support forest productivity and resilience, improve forest-related species diversity and increase benefits from ecosystem services (clean water, C-sequestration, GHG emission reduction). We will provide fundamental understanding of the tree, ground flora, soil fauna and microbiome nexus and its effect on forest productivity, biodiversity, and soil functions.
