Colleagues,
You are invited to take part in a survey carried out as part of the H2020 EU funded FirEUrisk research project https://fireurisk.eu/.
FirEUrisk intends to develop, evaluate and disseminate a science-based integrated strategy to: 1) expand current forest/wildland fire risk assessment systems, including critical factors of risk previously not covered; 2) produce effective measures to reduce current fire risk conditions, and 3) develop adapting management strategies to expected future climate and socioeconomic changes in socio-ecological systems of woodlands and wildlands.
This survey is aimed at gathering explorative data around perception of Human Ignition Drivers and Fire risk among citizens. Your participation in the survey is completely voluntary and anonymous.
The survey is available in the following languages and we would be very grateful for your help with it:
* English<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FirEUrisk_EN>
* French<https://fr.surveymonkey.com/r/FirEUrisk_FR>

Many thanks for helping the FirEUrisk team!
With best wishes, Maria Nijnik

Dear all,
The International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO
task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality,
continues the online seminar series on *April 26, 4 pm CEST*, with:
*Prof. Dr. Andreas Bolte, Thünen Institute, Germany*
*Title:******Forest mortality dynamics in Germany – how can we cope with
it?***
_Abstract:_ In the last years forests in Germany have faced vitality
decreases and mortality dynamics never seen before. About 25% of German
forests are projected to be at risk for extensive disturbance events and
ecosystem service losses within the next 30 years; their transformation
to future resilient forests will cost billions of Euros. Based on an
analysis of ongoing mortality dynamics and options for an adaptive
forest management, solutions for future forest management will be discussed.
_Bio:_ Andreas Bolte is a forest ecologist. He is head of the Thünen
Institute of Forest Ecosystems, and Associated Professor for forest
ecology at Göttingen University. For more than 20 years he is studying
climate change impacts on forests and options to adapt them to future
climate and site conditions.
