Distributed, integrated and harmonised forest information for bioeconomy outlooks (DIABOLO)
Project
Project code: TI-WO-08-PID1735, 633464
Contract period: 01.03.2015
- 28.02.2019
Budget: 77,469 Euro
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
The increasing competition for forest resources will necessitate new forest-related policies across different sectors. These policies demand relevant, harmonised, comprehensive, reliable and up-to-date information. As a response to this challenge, the DIABOLO project brings together 33 partners from scientific institutions in 25 European countries, including experts in the fields of policy analysis, forest inventory and forest modelling, who have live linkages to European and national policy institutions and stakeholder networks. Our forests are in big demand. Increasing demand for biomass and other ecosystem goods and services calls for changes in forest-related policies at different levels and across different sectors. To deliver high impact, beyond state-of-the-art work within the ecological and socio-economic diversity in Europe, the transdisciplinary DIABOLO involves experts in quantitative modelling, policy science and NFIs, from 25 European countries, committed to provide new methodologies and information for various end-uses, including FISE , GLOBIOM and FAO/UNECE. How can we provide relevant, harmonised, comprehensive and reliable up-to-date data and information? First – improvements in the methods of data collection, such as national forest inventories and monitoring systems, in order to produce more accurate, harmonised and timely information that can be fed into EU forest information systems Second – consistent, up-to-date forest information to support the development of EU policies and international processes Third – methodologies to make innovative use of data collected using terrestrial, aerial and space based platforms. 1. Strengthen the methodological framework for more accurate, harmonised and timely information from forest inventories and monitoring systems, to feed into EU information systems (SEIS, EFDAC) 2. Support the development of EU policies and international processes relying on consistent forest information 3. Make innovative use of field collected data and EC space-based applications of Earth observation and satellite positioning systems.
