Joint workshop on

Assessment of Biodiversity in Forests in Europe

Italian Academy of Forest Sciences, Florence (I), 22 – 24 March 2007

This page hosts some of the main materials presented at the joint workshop between COST action E43 (Harmonisation of NFIs in Europe: techniques for common reporting) - Working Group 3 on forest biodiversity and the Expert Panel on Biodiversity and Ground Vegetation of ICP-Forests.

The workshop was organised to facilitate an open discussion on inventory and monitoring methods, procedures and definitions for forest biodiversity assessment. Merging experiences and results of previous experiences both in NFIs and in the ICP network and defining some of the main priorities for future forest biodiversity assessment in Europe within the framework of the European Forest Monitoring System.
