This project assesses the status of Novel Forest Ecosystems through a multilevel diagnostic to identify priorities that reduce environmental risks and uncover opportunities for their restoration and the enhancement of ecosystem services.
We will update maps of non-native trees in Spain from different information sources.
We will analyse the successional trajectories at community level of novel forest ecosystems.
We will develop forest health indicators based on functional, structural, regenerative, productivity, resilience, and disturbance criteria.
