Great to see the #OptiForValue team at work out in the field #CBEresearch #forestry #forestManagement #treehealth
We have started the spring field sampling for the @optiforvalue.bsky.social project 🌲

In this task we aim to compare the effect of tree species and forest composition on the internal trunk fungal microbiome (as an indicator of forest tree health) using a metabarcoding approach.

Check out Case Study 2 - Value from resilience #Spain lead by @cesefor.com
in #OptiForValue #CBEJU #CBEResearch project coordinated by @luke.fi, contributing to optimised forest-based value chains for high-value applications & improved forest management
#SmartForest #ClimateResilience #ForestValue
The Spanish case study by @optiforvalue.bsky.social, developed by Cesefor, is located in Soria and investigates how different #forestmanagement strategies can be used to enhance forestry chains in order to obtain higher value products. https://optiforvalue.eu/case-studies/

Thinking of what this means for #forestry and #ForestManagement! Plenty of planning for #ClimateResilience including #drought in tree species. #OptiForValue is doing just this in Case Study 2 – Value from Resilience in Spain - see some relevant partner publications below ⬇️

🌲🌳#CBEresearch
2025 was the third warmest year on record, following the unprecedented temperatures in 2023 and 2024.

The past year saw a series of extreme weather events across the globe, including heatwaves and severe storms in Europe, North America, and Asia.
