1. Ground-level ozone is produced by chemical reactions between volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides in the presence of sunlight. It can adversely affect crop yields, tree health and growth.
2. The Slovenian Forestry Institute has monitored ozone levels and visible injury on forest trees for over 10 years. Studies in 2013 and 2014 found no visible ozone symptoms in urban forests in Ljubljana, though symptoms have been observed in other years.
3. Global models predict that ground-level ozone concentrations will increase in the future without measures to reduce precursor emissions. Urban areas can help by planting native, ozone-resistant tree species and increasing education about trees and air pollution.
This document proposes a monitoring project for urban forests in Slovenia called EMoNFUr-LIFE+. It will include a project workshop on May 14-15, 2012 in Ljubljana, Slovenia to discuss the objectives of monitoring the condition of urban forests. The workshop will bring together experts from the Slovenian Forestry Institute to develop a plan to systematically monitor and evaluate the health and status of urban woodlands.

This document analyzes and compares the urban forests of the six largest cities in Slovenia: Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Kranj, Velenje, and Novo mesto. It examines characteristics such as forest cover, naturalness, development phases, tree species diversity, growing stock, and ownership structures. The analysis finds both differences and similarities between urban forests and forests at local and regional levels, as well as variations between individual cities. The goal is to provide a comparative overview of urban forest potentials in Slovenia's six largest cities.
The document discusses the urban forest management of Ljubljana, Slovenia. It notes that Ljubljana was a finalist for European Green Capital in 2016. The city has over 1,444 hectares of protected urban forest, with intensive recreational use by over 1.7 million visitors annually to the Rožnik urban forest. Managing the urban forest presents challenges like private ownership of land and damage from ice storms. Key areas discussed include the forests around Castle Hill, Rožnik, and Šmarna Gora.
The document summarizes research being conducted on urban and peri-urban forests in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It discusses (1) forest inventory and crown condition assessments using permanent monitoring plots, (2) assessing plant diversity and invasive species at three forest sites, and (3) monitoring of birds, insects, soil conditions, hydrology, and atmospheric deposition. The goal is to establish long-term monitoring of the forest conditions to evaluate health and changes over time.

A couple takes a trip to London where the girlfriend is kidnapped and raped by men seeking ransom from her wealthy family. It is revealed that the husband was originally in on the plan but backed out. The couple then goes on the run through London as the husband tries to protect his wife, who he has grown to love, from the other criminals. The husband is ultimately killed. The film leaves the audience to debate whether they feel sympathy for the husband who redeemed himself by saving his wife.
This document outlines the establishment of a monitoring network to assess lowland forests and urban plantations in Lombardy, Italy and urban forests in Slovenia. The monitoring network will inventory and catalog these forest areas, revise relevant policies, develop a monitoring model, create the monitoring network, and produce manuals for network management and evaluating ecosystem services.
National Forest Inventory protocols could potentially be used for Urban Forest Inventories with some adjustments. A study applied NFI sampling methods at an urban forest in Ljubljana, measuring variables like tree species, size, health as well as deadwood, carbon storage, and recreational/aesthetic services. While these protocols provided initial information, fully assessing urban forest ecosystem services would require additional social and planning variables. Monitoring urban forests requires both field data collection and GIS analysis to understand forest structure and functions as well as stakeholder interests.

The document discusses reforestation efforts in the Lombardy region of Italy. Specifically, it outlines projects beginning in the 1980s to plant new forests near urban areas like Milan to create green spaces. It then describes the "Ten Big Forests for the Plain" project from 2002 that established 8 new forest areas near major cities, totaling around 400 hectares. Most recently, the "Green Systems" project aims to create 10,000 hectares of new woods and natural areas in agricultural fields by 2015. The projects emphasize using native species and public access to the forests.

A Roma, Palazzo Venezia giovedì 26, venerdì 27 e sabato 28 settembre per un evento che ha mantenuto la promessa di restituire spunti rilevanti per rinnovati modelli di management e per un efficace valorizzazione e promozione sostenibile dell’offerta culturale materiale e immateriale anche in chiave di crescita dell’economia del turismo, favorire la connessione con progetti innovativi e il networking tra persone.
I prodotti monouso sono sostenibili se vengono realizzati con criteri di ecologicità.
Poiché oggi è profondamente radicata la cultura dell’usa e getta, è fondamentale scegliere pannolini monouso che determinano il minor impatto ambientale possibile in tutte le fasi del ciclo di vita, dalla culla alla tomba.
Lo Speciale "Pannolini monouso: acquisti verdi per gli asili nido" si rivolge agli Enti Pubblici, ma anche alle famiglie, che intendono sostituire i pannolini usa e getta tradizionali con un acquisto verde dalle qualità ambientali e restazionali garantite.
Immaginate di aspettare alla stazione ferroviaria e, affamati, prendete semplicemente un frutto che pende da un albero a lato della strada. A Todmorden, nel Lancashire è possibile: per quasi tre anni gli abitanti della città, giovani e vecchi, si sono impegnati nella gestione di parcheggi, siepi, cimiteri, marciapiedi e cortili delle scuole trasformandoli in aree coltivate. Piccoli interventi locali hanno resto il paesaggio cittadino più godibile e hanno modificato il sistema alimentare locale in modo tangibile.
This document summarizes research on monitoring biodiversity in urban forests in Lombardy, Italy. Birds and insects were used as indicators of biodiversity. Over 20 species of birds were recorded during point counts in forests. Butterfly and beetle species were also recorded at forest sites. Analysis found links between biodiversity and forest structure, with more species found in areas with greater tree diversity, coverage, and distance from city centers. Specific bird species like the blue tit were examined in relation to diameter at breast height statistics of forest trees. The research aims to inform management decisions about maintaining and enhancing biodiversity in urban forests.
The document summarizes a study monitoring the flora and vegetation in urban and peri-urban forests in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Three forest sites were selected for the study: Rožnik, dominated by oak, pine and chestnut; Gameljne-Poplar, dominated by maple, alder and poplar; and Gameljne-Pine, a secondary pine forest. Vegetation plots of different sizes were established at each site to assess plant diversity, species composition and changes over time. The goals were to understand forest condition and changes related to environmental impacts and natural factors.
This document compares two methods for monitoring the health of urban trees and forests: the Intensive Site Monitoring method and an Urban Forest Management Oriented method. The ISM method requires qualified personnel and specialized labs, collects detailed data on permanent plots. The UFMO method uses a transect approach along paths to collect GPS located data on trees needing management. Both methods were tested on an urban forest in Ljubljana. The UFMO method assessed over double the number of trees in similar time, identified more damaging agents and dead trees requiring action, and provided more management recommendations than the ISM method.
This report summarizes observations of defoliation in lowland forests in Lombardy and urban plantations in Slovenia between 2012 and 2013. Key findings include:
1) Forests in Milan showed significantly higher defoliation than those in Mantova-Cremona, likely due to urban impacts.
2) The Boscoincittà forest in Milan had the highest recorded defoliation levels.
3) Plots with thinning showed slightly lower defoliation than unthinned plots, though differences were not statistically significant.
4) Defoliation decreased from September 2012 to June 2013 after a severe drought in 2012, but did not change significantly from June to September 2013.
This document summarizes vegetation and flora monitoring conducted in urban forests in Lombardy, Italy. Researchers performed 140 phytosociological surveys using Braun-Blanquet and Londo indexes to analyze biodiversity. A total of 102 species were recorded. Cluster analysis was used to compare 14 survey sites based on species composition. Statistical analysis estimated species richness was higher in 20x20m plots compared to 2x2m plots, possibly due to edge effects in smaller plots. The surveys provide data on species distribution, life forms, and ecological indexes to evaluate conservation levels in the forests.
1) The document describes a study on disease management in urban forests in Italy and Slovenia. Samples of various tree species were taken from 2005-2006 and analyzed to identify fungal pathogens.
2) Several fungal pathogens were found that cause cankers or other diseases in trees, including Biscogniauxia mediterranea, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Diplodia seriata. A high number of endophytic fungi were also detected.
3) In addition to the pathogens found in the study sites, other important pathogens detected elsewhere included various Phytophthora species, the new pathogen Phytophthora acerina, and Anthostoma decipi
This document summarizes research on monitoring fauna in urban forests in Slovenia. It studied hoverflies as indicators of biodiversity using transect and malaise trap methods. For hoverflies in Rožnik, some species increased while others decreased or remained stable between 2012 and 2013 depending on the monitoring method. The study also monitored birds using point counts, finding 50 species and differences in species assemblages between urban and peri-urban forests. Forest patch size was found to influence bird species composition, and factors like this should be considered in establishing a long-term urban forest bird monitoring network.
This document contains analytical data and evaluations of topsoil and subsoil samples from a forested urban area. It includes measurements of pH, organic matter content, nutrient levels, particle size distribution, and other characteristics. The topsoil is classified as loam with medium organic carbon and total nitrogen. Both topsoil and subsoil mixtures are strongly acidic with very low base saturation and available calcium and magnesium. They have high available phosphorus and are evaluated as having unstable structure, low plasticity, and high risk of crusting.
The document describes the monitoring protocols used for forests and soils in Italy and Slovenia as part of the EMoNFUr Project. The forest monitoring protocol involves surveying dendrometric parameters, carbon sequestration, deadwood, and biodiversity indicators. The soil monitoring protocol involves describing soil profiles, analyzing soil samples from topsoil and subsoil for properties like pH and organic carbon, and optionally sampling litter and testing for contamination. The protocols were harmonized between the two countries while allowing for differences in plot size and mandatory parameters. The monitoring will provide preliminary results on forest and soil conditions in urban areas.
The document provides preliminary results from monitoring urban forests in sample areas, including:
1) Dendrometric parameters such as tree height, diameter, and crown size were measured at the tree level, while stand characteristics like canopy cover were analyzed.
2) Carbon storage was estimated in four pools: above-ground biomass, below-ground biomass, soil, and dead organic matter. One plot was found to store over 180 Mg C/ha.
3) Biodiversity was assessed by measuring tree species richness and annual increases across plots, ranging from 1-16 species.
Preliminary results of soil monitoring of slovenian partner sloEmonfurProject
The study aimed to establish permanent survey plots to monitor soil conditions in Ljubljana's municipal forests over time. Soil samples were taken from 31 plots in Rožnik forest and 3 plots near the Sava River to analyze physical, chemical, and biological properties, as well as heavy metal contamination levels. The results showed that soils were moderately contaminated with lead, mainly from historical vehicle emissions. One forest plot exceeded the warning value for lead but was located near a parking area. Most forest soils were well-preserved with low heavy metal levels, representing a clean environment within the city, in contrast to some more polluted urban soils located near roads. The network of survey plots was established to enable continued monitoring of soil conditions
1) The document summarizes preliminary results from a soil monitoring study in Italian forests. Soil characteristics and types were analyzed for different forest plots, including pH, organic matter, and biological quality indices.
2) Soil types varied between plots and included Luvisols, Umbrisols, Calcisols, and Cambisols. Soil profiles were described and classified.
3) Comparisons were made between forest soils and adjacent meadow soils, finding higher organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, and biological quality in the forest soils. Soil properties like pH and organic carbon generally increased with longer time since forest establishment.
This document summarizes presentations from the LIFE+ EMoNFUr final conference on forest monitoring. It discusses:
1) Experience monitoring forests in Europe and Italy, including networks of permanent sample plots.
2) Efforts to reorganize Italy's monitoring to optimize variables measured and minimize costs while ensuring representativeness.
3) The LIFE+ EMoNFUr and ManFor C.BD projects, which monitor impacts of forest management on carbon, biodiversity, and human well-being in natural and urban forests.
4) The importance of dead wood for biodiversity and carbon storage, and challenges of incorporating it into urban forest management.
The document proposes a monitoring protocol for evaluating environmental changes in forests at multiple levels of biological organization, including species, communities, habitats, and forest characteristics. It outlines recommended and optional methodologies for monitoring flora, fauna, trees, deadwood, soil, weather, and visitor use. Standardized measurement methods are suggested along with the aims of each monitoring approach. The protocol was applied in study sites across Italy and Slovenia. Additionally, the document discusses establishing a network of research plots applying some or all of the protocol activities to promote data acquisition across different contexts.
1. The EMoNFUr project monitored urban and periurban forests in Lombardy, Italy and Slovenia to assess their ecosystem services and the impacts of climate change.
2. Monitoring plots were established to study biodiversity, pedology, climate mitigation, and other indicators. Results showed species numbers were affected by forest size and vegetation structure.
3. The project found urban forests help reduce the urban heat island effect, with higher temperatures found in more urbanized areas. It also quantified the carbon storage contribution of urban forests in Lombardy.

This document discusses biodiversity and pathology in urban parks. It notes that urban parks contain not just urban species but also show the effects of biogeography rules with more species found in larger parks and parks farther from urban centers. While distant from natural systems, urban parks can contain invasive species. The study of plant pathology began in the late 1800s in Italy and now includes the pathology of urban forests, which face different challenges than natural forests due to factors like compact soil, pollution, and artificial lighting that stress trees. Management of diseases is more difficult in urban forests where conditions make trees more susceptible and chemical treatments may be necessary.
This document summarizes research on monitoring biodiversity in urban forests in Lombardy, Italy. Birds and insects were used as indicators of biodiversity. Over 20 species of birds were recorded during point counts in forests. Butterfly and beetle species were also surveyed across forest sites. Analysis found links between biodiversity and forest structure, with certain bird species more abundant where there was greater tree diameter variability. The results can inform forest management decisions to help conserve urban biodiversity.

PECULIARITA’ DEL PROGETTO
È sperimentale, partito grazie al MIF (Manchester International Festival) nel 2013
che si ispira ai principi della permacultura.
Progettare e gestire paesaggi antropizzati in

Ha al centro la produzione di cibo nella città
Vuole portare la ricerca dove i suoi risultati avranno reale utilità, aprendo un
dialogo tra mondo accademico, imprese e comunità locale
modo da soddisfare le esigenze della
popolazione (cibo ed energia) e in modo che
presentino un elevato grado di resilienza.

VERMICULTURE
È una parte importante del progetto,
perché i lombrichi:
• Migliorano la qualità del suolo e
del raccoltodel raccolto
• Supportano il processo di
riduzione degli scarti e di
riciclaggio
• Servono come fonte di cibo per i
pesci del progetto

CHICKENS
Oltre al vantaggio delle «uova fresche» il progetto sottolinea che i polli
riciclano gli scarti in un concime ricco di nitrogeno che diventa un’eccellente
fertilizzante e permette di ridurre i fertilizzanti chimici

COMMERCIALIZZAZIONE
Gli alimenti sono venduti attraverso la rete di
distribuzione a filiera corta coordinata dalla Biospheric
Foundation tramite:
• il negozio 78 Steps aperto di recente a 78 passi dal
raccolto
• Whole Box, il sito web dove i cittadini locali possono
ordinare la propria scatola di verdure stagionali
rigorosamente prodotti in zona

THE BIOSPHERIC PROJECT
È un progetto dimostrativo.
Vuole ricucire il legame perduto con il cibo prodotto e portato in tavola,
attraverso la partecipazione, la conoscenza e la condivisione.
Intende portare le città ad imitare i sistemi naturali (in particolare quelli forestali
che si auto mantengono e rinnovano nel tempo) con basso input di energia,che si auto mantengono e rinnovano nel tempo) con basso input di energia,
tramite l’utilizzo di sofisticata tecnologia.
Sfrutta le caratteristiche degli edifici (finestre, pareti, tetti, giardini) tipiche delle
città per produrre cibo.
Indica un percorso per recuperare modelli di vita meno energivori e più
connessi alla natura ed alla agricoltura, recuperando il rapporto tra cittadino e
produzione di cibo.
