| Analysis of revitalization process in beech ecosystems over the immission load | |
| Analýza revitalizačného procesu v bukových ekosystémoch po imisnom zaťažení | |
| Program: | Inter-academic agreement |
| Project leader: | Ing. Barna Milan PhD. |
| Annotation: | The issue of revitalization beech ecosystems in imission-affected regions is still actual, not only in the Central Europe but a large part of the distribution area of beech. Negative effects of environment to growth conditions and thus to stand damage it depend on a number of tree disposition characteristics as well as from synecological relations in the forest according to which the beech ecosystems are led by. From these reasons it is very important to clarify revitalization processes in forest ecosystems after removed the source of pollution was. And this will be the main objective of our project. Discovering and characterization of revitalization process in respective forest elements is a pioneer work. Results coming from this work would represent a basic concept for prediction of forest development in man-affected environment. Since forests are the most complex terrestrial ecosystems, the uniqueness of this project lies in combination of ecological, physiological, botanical and mycological research with application of recent methodology in the Carpatian / Hercynian area. |

| Climate Smart Forestry in Mountain Regions | |
| Climate Smart lesníctvo v horských regiónoch | |
| Program: | COST |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Ditmarová Ľubica PhD. |
| Annotation: | Climate Smart Forestry aims at sustainable management of forest while adapting and building resilience to climate change (CC), and maintain wellbeing of the mountain community. Three main pillars of CLIMO project are: (i) improve livelihood of mountain inhabitants by sustainably increasing forest ecosystem services (ES); (ii)enhance the adaptation and resilience to CC of mountain forests; (iii) optimise the CC mitigation potential of mountain forests, focusing on the most efficient and cost-effective mitigation options and capitalising on adaptation-mitigation synergies. SEA leads WG4: DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE SCHEMES OF PAYMENT FOR Ecosystem SERVICES (PES) with the objective to develop incentive based system to support Climate-Smart Forestry concept as a possible tool for development of forestry under the impact of Global Change (GC). |

| Climate Smart Forestry in Mountain Regions | |
| Climate Smart lesníctvo v horských regiónoch | |
| Program: | COST |
| Project leader: | prof., Mgr. Kluvánková Tatiana PhD. |
| Annotation: | Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) integrates the three-dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental), and aims at sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and incomes, adapting and building resilience to climate change (CC), and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. CLIMO wants to translate the CSA concept for a Climate-Smart Forestry (CSF). Three main pillars will be considered: improve livelihood of mountain inhabitants by sustainably increasing forest ecosystem services (ES); enhance the adaptation and resilience to CC of mountain forests; optimise the CC mitigation potential of mountain forests, focusing on the most efficient and cost-effective mitigation options and capitalising on adaptation-mitigation synergies. The main objective is to define CSF in the European context, which will require the identification of key silvicultural characteristics and the harmonisation of CSF in mountain areas to create a common knowledge at European level. The “smartness” of the European forests will be defined according to the sustainability of forest management and mitigation potential. The ““smartness”” will be defined on the basis of measurable criteria and a checklist of parameters of “smartness” for mountain forests will be proposed. Experimental forest sites with available data to quantify the “smartness” of mountain forests will be identified to build a European Smart Forest Network (ESFONET). A feasibility study for the development of a cyber-technology able to quickly transfer data from monitoring sites to stakeholders will be developed. Innovative schemes of payment for ES (PES) will be developed to shift the objective of mountain forest management from the production of timber to the production of ES. |

| Payments for Ecosystem Services (Forests for Water) | |
| Platby za ekosystémové služby | |
| Program: | COST |
| Project leader: | prof., Mgr. Kluvánková Tatiana PhD. |
| Annotation: | The EU Water Framework Directive aims to ensure restoration of Europe’s water bodies to “good ecological status” by 2027. Many Member States will struggle to meet this target, with around half of EU river catchments currently reporting below standard water quality. Diffuse pollution from agriculture represents a major pressure, affecting over 90% of river basins. Accumulating evidence shows that recent improvements to agricultural practices are benefiting water quality but in many cases will be insufficient to achieve WFD objectives. There is growing support for land use change to help bridge the gap, with a particular focus on targeted tree planting to intercept and reduce the delivery of diffuse pollutants to water. This form of integrated catchment management offers multiple benefits to society but a significant cost to landowners and managers. New economic instruments, in combination with spatial targeting, need to be developed to ensure cost-effective solutions including tree planting for water benefits - are realised. Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are flexible, incentive-based mechanisms that could play an important role in promoting land use change to deliver water quality targets. The PESFOR-W COST Action will consolidate learning from existing woodlands for water PES schemes in Europe and help standardize approaches to evaluating the environmental effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of woodland measures. It will also create a European network through which PES schemes can be facilitated, extended and improved, for example by incorporating other ecosystem services linking with aims of the wider forests-carbon policy nexus. |

| Spatial analyses in population genetic studies of tree pathogens | |
| Priestorové analýzy v populačno-genetických štúdiách patogénov drevín | |
| Program: | Bilateral - other |
| Project leader: | Mgr. Adamčíková Katarína PhD. |
| Annotation: | The development of spatial analyses in population genetic studies has led to the recent emergence of landscape genetics, and has shown a great value to understand the spread of various organisms in complex landscapes. The joint analysis of spatial and genetic data is rapidly becoming the norm in population genetics. Understanding the spatial characteristics of a pathogen population or diseased plant population is essential for developing models or sampling programs in epidemiology and disease management. Despite a growing interest in landscape genetics, i.e. the ways in which geographical and environmental factors affect the population genetic structure of species, in this context are still limited, especially focusing on infectious organisms. The project activities will be focused on processing and analysing data about mating types, results of multiples PCR using SSR markers for fungal pathogens Dothistroma septosporum and D. pini and data about their distribution, landscape, climatic and abiotic parameters. The goals of project proposal is - to identify the possible origins and patterns of spread of both pathogens, to identify their reproductive and dispersal strategies and to determine the impact of crucial landscape, climatic, abiotic parameters related to pathogens spread. The Slovak research team has a data on DNB fungi but lacking of skill experiences in the data processing, spatial pattern analysis and landscape genetics. The proposed bilateral cooperation will contribute to the transfer of knowledge and experiences of French research team with the analyses of population genetic structures and with spatial pattern analyses associated to genetic data and field experiments. |
