  1. Palência, January 28-29 Mediterranean forest ecology and climate change – past and future scenarios Lisbon, Portugal http://www.medfor.eu/utl/second-year

  2. Internship and Network Opportunities • Integral - “Future-orientedintegrated management ofeuropeanforestlandscapes” • Startree – “Multi-purposetreesand non-woodforestproducts a challengeandopportunity” • COST actions: • COST1203– “European Non-Wood Forest Products Network” • FORSYS – “Forest Management Decision Support Systems”

  3. Internship and Network Opportunities • ForEAdapt – “Knowledge exchange between Europe and America on forest growth models and optimisation for adaptive forestry” • SADRI – “Models and Decision Support Systems for Addressing risk and Uncertainty in Forest Planning” • PINEA - Modelling growth and pine nuts production for Pinuspinea under changing environmental conditions • EucPlus-New processes and uses for eucalypt woods.

  4. Dissertation Subjects • Development of Forest Models • Wood products and technology • Forest Ecology under climate change

  5. Dissertation topics • Research on the effect of cork debarking intensity in cork growth and quality. • Research on the effect of understory management in cork growth and quality. • Research on the relation of climate variables and cork growth • Analysis of the potential of remote sensing to estimate Gross Primary Productivity by models simulations. • Spectral vegetation indexes adequate to estimate Gross Primary Productivity in Mediterranean forests. Identify the best indexes for GPP estimation • Historic Transfer of Forest Reproductive Material (In order to maintain biodiversity and design forest gene conservationstrategies)

  6. Dissertation topics • Response to water stress of four /Quercus suber/ contrasting populations (To understand biological processes that affect drought tolerance for better allocation of Forest Reproductive material. This study is developed in controlled environment, morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters will be under evaluation.) • Climate Change Effects: Monitoring 2 arboreta from Reinfforce (Characterizations of 32 species, represented by 3 provenances, and relate their behavior with their origin. • Non-wood forest products: a global approach - Structure of bark in response to differing climatic/growth conditions • Non-wood forest products: a global approach - Influence of climatic and forest occurrences (man-made or accidental) on ring width and anatomy • Non-wood forest products: a global approach - Analysis of forest biomass within a biorefinery approach

  7. Developing the Dissertation • At Universities, AssociatedPartnersandStakeholders.
