The Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI) of the University of Florence coordinated the LIFE SySTEMIC (Close-to-nature forest sustainable management practices under chilate changes) project.
The LIFE Programme is the EU’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action.
The aim of LIFE SySTEMiC Project (Closeto-nature foreSt SusTainablE Management practices under Climate Changes) was to use the “modeling tool” GenBioSivi based on genetic diversity to determine best silviculture practices to protect our forests in times of climate change. The basic idea is simple: the greater the genetic diversity of trees in a forest, the more likely it is that some trees have genetic characteristics that make them more adaptable to climate
change, increasing the resilience of the forest system.
