Start of the Research Cooperation Project “Transformation of Forests to Close-to-Nature Forest Management in Ukraine: Nature-based silvicultural and fire management methods for increasing the resilience of pine stands to drought and wildfire” (RESILPINE)

Start of the Research Cooperation Project “Transformation of Forests to Close-to-Nature Forest Management in Ukraine: Nature-based silvicultural and fire management methods for increasing the resilience of pine stands to drought and wildfire” (RESILPINE) with fire management components:

• Wildfire risk reduction of pine forest by enrichment with broadleaved species
• Wildfire hazard reduction of pine forest by applying nature-based integration of prescribed burning
• Strategic planning and treatment of fuel breaks between forests, agricultural lands and settlements
