Brief description of the Associated Beneficiary's activities and experience in the area of the proposal
Corpo Forestale dello Stato (National Forest Service) is a technical police body depending from the Italian Ministry
for Agriculture, Food and Forestry, involved in environmental issues and control, research and forest fire
preventions. CONECOFOR Board is part of National Forest Service and is involved since 1985 in specific
activities regarding monitoring of forest ecosystems. This commitment started under the umbrella of the United
Nations/Economic Commission for Europe – Convention on Long Range Trans-boundary Air Pollution (UN/ECECLRTAP), within the International Cooperative Programme on Integrated Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on
Ecosystems (ICP-IM) and the International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air
Pollution Effects on Forests (ICP-Forests). Monitoring activities have been implemented on Level I and Level II
forest monitoring Networks, respectively made up in Italy of 250 monitoring points and 31 permanent plots at
national scale. From the very beginning, all activities were managed for the implementation of the EC Regulations
of forest conditions (no. 3528/86, no. 2157/92, no. 1091/94 and following). From 2003 until 2006 monitoring
activities continued under Regulation (EC) no. 2152/2003 “Forest Focus”. Since 2004, CONECOFOR has been
involved widely in new international initiatives; in particular, CONECOFOR covered the Italian partnership within
the Network of Excellence “ALTER-Net, A Long Term Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Awareness Research
Network” (funded by the EC Sixth Framework Programme) and started to enrich long term monitoring features
with research activities on European environmental priorities as biodiversity loss and impacts of climate change. In
2005, CONECOFOR started leading the establishment of the Italian Long Term Ecological Research Network
(LTER Italy), based on 9 Level II CONECOFOR permanent plots and 27 other research stations managed by 8
excellent National research Institutes. In 2006, LTER-Italy entered the International Long Term Ecological
Research Network (ILTER); in 2007, the national Network was admitted as a member of the European LTER
Network. Nowadays, LTER-Italy Secretariat is managed under the responsibility of CONECOFOR. CONECOFOR
is the Italian partner of the EU Forest Focus Pilot Projects “ForestBIOTA” and “BioSoil” for the assessment of
selected biodiversity parameters in the Level II and Level I Networks. CONECOFOR also collaborated in the
SEBI2010 Process (Streamlining European Biodiversity Indicators by 2010) for the harmonization of biodiversity
indicators at European level: in this framework, CONECOFOR has been contracted by European Environment
Agency, for the development of a synthetic indicator of European forests biodiversity status. The final Report was
approved and published in October 2007.
