EUFORMAG has also been designed as a tool to disseminate the results of European projects related to forestry. In 2011 it was approved a LIFE + project in which it was expected, for the first time, the use the EUFORMAG's network to disseminate related articles to the project between the forest technicians. To do this has been financed and dedicated a specific action that allow for translation of the articles in the language of the journals involved. In this section we report the projects that have officially involved EUFORMAG and, in the private network partners, the individual articles press kit and how they were financed. We invite you to use the EUFORMAG's network to disseminate the results of European projects (LIFE, LIFE +, Interreg, etc.). SelPiBioLife - Innovative silvicultural treatments to enhance soil biodiversity in artificial black pine standsSelPiBioLife - Innovative silvicultural treatments to enhance soil biodiversity in artificial black pine stands (LIFE13 BIO/IT/000282)SelpiBioLife is a project under the category Biodiversity (LIFE13 BIO/IT/000282), for innovative or demonstration projects that consider biodiversity issues within the LIFE+ Nature and Biodiversity strand. The main goal of the project is to demonstrate the positive effects of an innovative silvicultural treatment on black pine forests. The specific innovative treatment applied in the stands improves growth rates and stands stability and enhance the level of biodiversity of the various soil components (flora, fungi, bacteria, mesofauna, nematods and microarthropods). To promote the spread of these innovative treatments, demonstration areas have been set up in two Tuscan forests: in the Amiata (province of Siena) and in Pratomagno (province of Arezzo). In these sites various activities have been organized for dissemination and training purposes. The project also involved the construction of two "marteloscopes", areas specifically dedicated to the training of forestry professionals and students. In addition to this, various types of dissemination materials have been created, such as a technical manual and some videos, all available on the project website www.selpibio.eu. The Project has also included the dissemination of content in the EUFORMAG network.
LIFE+ InBioWood - Increase Biodiversity through Wood ProductionLIFE+ InBioWood - Increase Biodiversity through Wood Production (LIFE12 ENV/IT/000153)In Italy, from 2013, new plantations for wood arboriculture have been realized. These are the Potentially Permanent Polycyclic Tree farm, is a sort of artificial mixed forest where different species coexist in the same management unit and are harvested at different times. The goal of these plantations is to differentiate both the financial risk of the farmer and the phytosanitary risk. Also, the impact of wood production on the environment is reduced and biodiversity is increased. At the base of the innotavtive type of plantations there is a european project of LIFE+ Programme named InBioWood (Increase Biodiversity through Wood Production - LIFE12 ENV/IT/000153). In order to promote the diffusion of these plantation, demonstration areas and various types of informative materials have been created by the project partners, such as a technical manual and videos, all available free of charge at www.inbiowood.eu. The Project has also included the dissemination of content in the EUFORMAG network.
LIFE+ PProSpoT Policy and Protection of Sporadic tree species in Tuscany forestsLIFE+ PProSpoT Policy and Protection of Sporadic tree species in Tuscany forests (LIFE09 ENV /IT/000087)PProSpoT is a LIFE + project aims to introduce in Italy, particularly in Tuscany, the technique of forestry tree applied to the management and conservation of sporadic tree species in the forest. Silviculture tree can enhance these species by increasing biodiversity, ecological stability, and the value of forests. This innovative technique can be integrated with the traditional ones and can be easily spread to other regions of Italy and Europe. For this reason, a specific action is dedicated to disseminate the results through the EUFORMAG's network. The aim is to make available at least six articles with the results of the project. The articles, with their iconographic material, will be translated in English and available for translation and publication in various magazines of the network. There will also be a budget for the national language translations to be defined in detail between Compagnia delle Foreste and magazines that are interested to publish them.
