Description
The project includes an area of 113,9 acres with reduced susceptibility to desertification. The purpose of the project is to strengthen climate change adaptation by promoting forest areas resilience, responsiveness and adaptation to expected future climate change, and mitigate land degradation and desertification in burnt areas. This will be achieved by investigating land degradation risk for future climate and land use scenarios. The project promotes stakeholders'' engagement on the definition and assessment of future forest management strategies and definition of future climate and climate-defined-fire-risk scenarios, design of alternative forest management scenarios / pilot-projects, forest fires simulation for future climates under alternative forest management strategies and land degradation and post-fire soil erosion risk assessment. Stakeholders and policymakers will benefit from the work developed in this project in terms of decision making tools such as fire risk databases and maps, land use changes databases and maps, fire spread databases and maps, post fire soil erosion risk databases and maps.
