Securing gene conservation, adaptive and breeding potential of a model multipurpose tree species (Castanea sativa) in a dynamic environment EU Environment Project No. EVK2-CT-1999-00006 Programme:Energy, Environment andSustainable Development Key Action: Global Change, Climateand Biodiversity Thematic Priority:Assessing and PreservingBiodiversity
BIOTA cluster: 23 projects Aims • Assess and predict the impact of major drivers of biodiversity • Develop tools, such as biodiversity indicators, to promote the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity • Seek to identify and resolve conflicts between society, economy and biodiversity • Support the conservation of biodiversity by creating databases on the taxonomy, biology and ecology of Europe’s plants and animals EU Contact point: Karin Zaunberger Scientific Officer, Biodiversity and Ecosystems Karin.Zaunberger@cec.eu.int Website coordinator: Juliette Joung, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology j.young@ceh.ac.uk
General context and mission statement Context Castanea sativa: a model multipurpose tree species important for Mediterranean landscape and rural diversification Its biodiversity at risk due to: • domestication and silvicultural practices • fungal attacks • climatic changes Mission statement • to assess the genetic biodiversity of this model species in relation to major evolutionary factors and human impacts • to project its future response under the expected changes of environmental conditions • to develop optimized long-term strategies of conservation and sustainable management of forest tree resources • to develop a multidisciplinary study model (from gene level to sustainable management) to be extended to other multipurpose species
Legislative requirementsor society needs for information Problems - Rules for transfer of nuts for reforestation - Gene conservation plan for the species - Cost for a sustainable use and conservation of the species

Table 6: Annual household willingness to pay for policies to promote chestnut cultivation in Italy and France (EU, 2002) Table 6: Annual household willingness to pay for policies to promote chestnut cultivation in Italy and France (EU, 2002) WP5 – Socio Economic evaluation Specific actions use general public surveys (1025 questionnaires) in Italy, Greece and France to examine at consumption of chestnut related goods for food, timber and recreation; estimate production costs and revenue in Italy;. investigate local preferences for possible policy solutions that can support development; use choice experiments to investigate the costs and benefitsof maintaining the species.
WP5 – Socio Economic Evaluation Conclusions in some areas the species can play an important role in promoting local identity and social cohesion as well as helping to maintain landscape character; where cultivation of the species is well established, it has the potential to form the basis of initiatives that can be developed for the benefit of local communities; public initiatives related to tourism, origin certification and restoration of traditional forest types are preferred by those members of the public sampled in our surveys; in general, there is the potential for greater economic exploitation of the species and its products (e.g. timber, food products); to promote rural development more should be done at a regional or national level to encourage a more complete exploitation of the species at the local level; to encourage improved exploitation there is a need for businesses to have access to improved information, better marketing channels and greater inward investment; · the estimated Willingness To Pay of local communities suggests that funding of programmes to support chestnut cultivation could yield substantial local benefits.
WP6 – Strategy for Integrated conservation and utilization Computation of the conservation values for the Italian stands, based on intrinsic biodiversity (h), extrinsic biodiversity (g) and biodiversity dynamics (r) components. Stand conservation value (Vc) is calculated as the distance of the stand position in the space of the above components from the origin of axes in the corresponding 3dimensional graph (red line).
WP3-MPBS means that the combined breeding and gene resource population is split into appoximately 20 subpopulation each with a Ne of 50 genetic entries.The loss of additive variance in each subpopulation will be 1% per generation

Contribution of CASCADE to BAP 1. establishing a network between European centres of excellence in biodiversity research in order to foster basic research into the importance and functioning of biodiversity on all levels. 2. promoting the implementation of appropriate research activities concerning the functional mechanisms of the natural evolution of biodiversity, including tools and methods needed to implement the biodiversity policy objectives. 3. increasing knowledge about how to safeguard biodiversity in nature, agriculture, forestry and fisheries and its wider role in life-support systems. 4. increasing the understanding of how the biosphere functions at different spatial scales: global, regional and local level and understanding of the effect of human activities on life-support systems. 5. assisting in identifying the necessary changes in legislation, programmes and political actions for the conservation and sustainable use and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the use of biodiversity. This should include addressing the policy, organisational and management factors affecting the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity in Third Countries, in the context of economic globalization. 6. promoting research activities using molecular methods in biodiversity measurement and validation of these technologies. 7. promoting the creation of tools and choices for partners in the conservation and utilisation of biodiversity, including research on clean technologies and on ex-situ conservation technologies. 8. promoting the evaluation of the various forms of biodiversity from the perspective of all societal actors.
9. supporting the development of a global interface with Third Countries, addressing in particular the sustainable use and management of biodiversity in transition economies, as well as in emerging ones and developing countries. 10. develop a baseline study to identify and catalogue important components of biodiversity that exist -in situ or ex situ-, or that have become extinct in the last 50 years.11. identify the conservation status and trends of components of biodiversity. 12. identify relevant pressures and threats, together with their causes, on components of biodiversity. 13. apply modern taxonomy to build scientific tools for policy on conservation and sustainable use, aiming , inter alia, to fulfil gaps in taxonomy knowledge. 14. promote the development of a system of indicators based on a species and ecosystems approach. 15. identify a set of indicators to assess how components of biodiversity are affected by [each economic] sector and assess progress on the implementation of the strategy. 16. develop mechanisms for monitoring the evolution of the indicators having regard, inter alia, to activities causing habitat degradation, unsustainable harvesting, emission of pollutants and release or spread into the environment of alien species and genetically or living modified organisms.
