GIS Project
This document describes a project to map suitable habitat areas for capturing the threatened garden dormouse in Northwestern Romania. The author intersected shapefiles of the dormouse's habitat range and protected natural areas to identify locations that are both within the species' range and protected status. The resulting map can guide surveys to assess the dormouse's population. Future work may refine target areas based on land cover and the research team's region of activity. The limited existing data on the dormouse in Romania motivated the project to better survey its current distribution.

It has several research groups covering topics like forest inventory, resources, health, management, and climate change. Forest Research has over 200 staff across multiple centers in England, Scotland, and Wales. Key priorities for "climate smart forestry" include understanding risks from a changing climate, providing tools to help adaptation and mitigate risks, researching suitable tree species, and assessing the impacts of forest management on greenhouse gas balances. Potential areas of collaboration between Forest Research and Finnish counterparts include modeling climate impacts, measuring forest carbon, growth modeling, and policy analysis.H2020 EJP Agricultural Soil Management
The document discusses the proposed European Joint Programme on agricultural soil management. It notes the importance of good soil management for food security, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and ecosystem services. However, knowledge gaps exist regarding soil characteristics and factors influencing fertility across Europe. The proposed programme would coordinate soil research efforts to address these gaps and maximize soils' contributions to climate goals while preserving agricultural functions. Key activities would include research on soil degradation, fertility, carbon sequestration, and inventories for reporting. The programme aims to strengthen cooperation, develop knowledge bases, and contribute to the European Soil Data Centre.

GIS as a Tool of Resolving Protected Area Boundary Issues, Machiara National ...
This document summarizes work using GIS to resolve protected area boundary issues in Machiara National Park, Pakistan. The objectives were to develop digital maps and layers in GIS format, create land cover maps from satellite images, map wildlife habitats, and build capacity for GIS data handling to re-notify and demarcate boundaries with geographic coordinates. Satellite imagery was processed, layers like contours and forests were digitized, and field surveys collected boundary data. This led to delineating the 33,450 acre park boundary and a land cover map of seven classes. The output is a GIS-based notification format with a textual description, map, and boundary coordinates to permanently define the protected area extent.

Forest management and below-ground litter: Carbon dynamics of UK forest soils
The UK has committed to a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% by 2050. Attainment of this goal will require that all sectors of British industry search for sensible and meaningful approaches to reducing emissions and improving net carbon (C) sequestration in terrestrial bodies. Forests and woodlands are a key component of the global C cycle, and their effective management at global and regional scales is an important mechanism for reducing atmospheric GHG concentrations.
Land use analysis in GMS
This document discusses analyzing land use change over time in the Greater Mekong Sub-region using satellite imagery. It involves two steps: 1) comparing predicted future land suitability from climate models to existing land use data, and 2) analyzing time-series satellite images of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from 2004-2012 to examine land use dynamics. The NDVI data comes from MODIS sensors and is processed to remove noise and filter low quality data. Preliminary analysis of the NDVI imagery from 2000-2013 shows the highest land cover changes occurred in Vietnam and Myanmar, primarily due to deforestation, while land cover has remained more stable in Laos.

Presentation at the 3rd European Sustainable Phosphorus Conference (ESPC3), Helsinki, 11 - 13 June 2018, co-organised by the Baltic Sea Action Group (BSAG) and the European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform (ESPP), brought together nearly 300 participants from 30 countries talking about nutrient recycling and stewardship.
See for all information and outcomes www.phosphorusplatform.eu/ESPC3Presentation of European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform - EUBCE2019
The document discusses challenges around global nutrient losses and frameworks for addressing them through circular solutions. It provides an overview of the European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform (ESPP), which operates through consensus-based decision making and communication to enable stakeholder dialogue on nutrient recycling policies. The ESPP works within frameworks established by UN agreements and EU policies driving goals of sustainable nutrient management and a circular economy. National policies in several European countries are also moving towards mandatory phosphorus recycling from waste streams like sewage. Potential for nutrient recycling in Europe is significant but current technologies mostly recover only a small percentage of the potential.
Item 10 - The experience of the JRC
The Joint Research Centre has extensive experience monitoring soils across the EU. It established the EUROSOILS certified reference materials program from 1989-1999 and has conducted regular soil monitoring. This includes the LUCAS survey which collects soil samples from over 260,000 points every 3 years to assess soil condition under different land uses across EU members. Comparability of data over time remains challenging due to differences in laboratories used. Establishing a single EU soil observatory that fully integrates national monitoring systems could help overcome this issue and support EU policies through comprehensive soil reporting and indicators.

Coordinating Finance Across Sectors for Landscape Restoration
Integrated landscape management is key to maximizing returns on forest landscape restoration investments. Coordination of different types of investments is needed at the landscape level. Tools and training are urgently required to improve investment readiness and coordination. Billions have been committed to forest landscape initiatives but coordinated investment is needed. A variety of public and private actors could invest in enabling activities like platforms and plans or asset investments like agriculture, infrastructure, and restoration. Challenges include incorporating landscape criteria into investments and linking different financial flows. Developing financing plans and investment proposals that contribute to landscape goals can help attract more coordinated investment.

Changing the Role of Agriculture: Moving Beyond Production in the 21st Century
Changing the Role of Agriculture: Moving Beyond Production in the 21st CenturyEcoAgriculture Partners
This is a keynote presentation that outlines the environmental consequences of production oriented agriculture in the 20th century and defines three critical roles for agriculture in the 21st century; as a supporter of ecosystems, a foundation for locally-led development, and as a partner in sustainable city-region development.
The talk highlights key examples of where agriculture is currently serving these roles. Finally, the presentation concludes with recommendations to the food and agriculture community that are necessary in order to facilitate scaling the lessons from the highlighted examples to a global scale. These actions include; integrating sustainable agriculture into all of the sustainable development goals, building cross sector coalitions at all levels, developing supportive financing frameworks, and mobilizing new research and education around sustainable agriculture.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Mapping of semi-natural grasslands • National mapping projects (exceptions Romania, Poland) • Executed by national institutes, universities and NGOs • Scientifically sound mapping methodology • Resulting in a GIS based Database of biodiversity data and other information like management, abandonment • Goals: to support candidate countries/NMS with the implementation of AE schemes and the identification of Natura2000 sites
- 6. Projected impacts from climate change in Europe Source: EU, 2009
- 7. Mainly by producing two powerful greenhouse gases: methane - from livestock digestion processes, stored animal manure and organic soils – sources: livestock production and soils nitrous oxide - from organic and mineral nitrogen fertilisers – sources: intensity of land use Currently in EU, about 9 % of total greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture (down from 11 % in 1990). Source: EU, 2009 Origin of GHG from agriculture
- 8. Reduction of GHG production in agriculture • Introduction of HNV agricultural farming types • Conservation of existing HNV grasslands in Europe • Green labelling of agricultural systems • Special application technics for manure and fertilizing applications
