This video summarizes the conclusions of the Interreg COMFOR-SUDOE project, which concluded last April at the National Museum of Natural Sciences.. Representatives of the project’s partner entities explain in this video how they have collaborated for nearly four years to promote complex (mixed and irregular) forests and multi-species plantations as a resilient and adaptable alternative to threats such as global change or biodiversity decline.
These types of forests can increase and, in many cases, improve the potential quality of the services provided by ecosystems compared to more simplified forest systems. Research in the SUDOE area has helped inform and stimulate policies and smart management measures that promote the diversification of forest structures, ensuring the transfer of knowledge to citizens, businesses, and administrations, and a balance of efforts in transnational research, development, and innovation.
