📋 Tender Overview
A New Technology Of In-Situ Observation Datasets To Address Climate Change Effects In Hard-To-Reach Forest Areas
Objective
Forests play a key role in the Earth climate system as they cover about 30% of the land area. In the last decade they absorbed more than 7 Gt of CO2 contributing to reduce global warming and to buffer and mitigate increasing climate variability. The summers of 2018 and 2019 included some of the hottest and driest periods ever recorded globally, however the extent and severity of their impact is unknown due to lack of a comprehensive monitoring network, which generally does not include hard-to-reach areas characterised by strong logistic limitations. Therefore, novel technological solutions are urgently needed to monitor forest responses to climate change and related extreme events also in remote areas.
