CREA – Research Centre for Forestry and Wood has opened a selection for the awarding of one research grant of the duration of 32 months to work on the activities foreseen within the LIFE SPAN project. The selection shall be based on the evaluation of the applicants’ qualifications and the results of an oral exam.
In the demonstration area of Cansiglio the first 8 SHS (Saproxylic Habitat Sites) foreseen by the project have been realized. Having completed the pro-senescence interventions, to increase deadwood presence, microhabitats, structural diversity and gaps, we moved to install devices for the monitoring of insects, bats and birds.
In the last days in Sailershausen, Germany, we had the second monitoring visit of the project. An opportunity to check the activities put in place in the demonstration sites and visit the SHS and the two marteloscopes realized by European Forest Institute (EFI) in the Sailershausen forest.
While we are waiting for the winter to pass in the Italian demonstration area to resume field activities planned by the project, in Germany, more precisely in the forest of Sailershausen, researchers from Würzburg University, organized the launch event of Life SPAN dedicated to German stakeholders.
Last days we had the first plenary meeting of the LIFE SPAN. Representatives of all partners met in the Cansiglio for a two-day meeting and visit to the demonstration sites.
The Initial Conference of the LIFE SPAN project will be held online on June 21 at 10:30 am. We will present the objectives and activities envisaged by the project, from the initial stages of updating management plans to the implementation of SHSs and monitoring of the effects on forest biodiversity.
