Model
Welcome to the world of PlantFATE, a novel eco-evolutionary vegetation model designed to unravel the intricate dynamics of forests and their response to environmental change. PlantFATE stands as a powerful tool to guide conservation efforts, inform policy decisions, and foster a deeper appreciation for the wonders of nature. Embark on a journey through the intricate tapestry of forest resilience with PlantFATE as your guide.
Research Project
BIOCONSENT provides novel scientific knowledge and policy support by integrating socio-ecological approaches to assess outcomes of alternative conservation and restoration measures on forest biodiversity and ecosystem services provision across spatial and temporal scales at the biodiversity-forest-climate-water nexus.
Model
The ibis.iSDM package provides a series of convenience functions to fit integrated Species Distribution Models (iSDMs). With integrated models we generally refer to SDMs that incorporate information from different biodiversity datasets, external parameters such as priors or offsets with respect to certain variables and regions.

Europe needs healthy ecosystems that benefit biodiversity and people and are resilient to climate change. The Horizon Europe NaturaConnect Project will support European Union governments and other public and private institutions in designing a coherent, resilient and well-connected Trans-European Nature Network.
The Biodiversity, Ecology and Conservation (BEC) group is dedicated to support and promote early career researchers who wish to engage with us and our work. There are several ways of joining our group and we are particular interested to engage with researchers who are interested in our methods and projects.
Research Project
LAMASUS builds on i) decades of experience in direct policy support, ii) unique modeling tools, such as GLOBIOM, the only model that integrates agricultural and land use sectors, and CAPRI, MAGNET and CLUE, which underlie JRC’s land use policy assessments, and iii) novel approaches mobilizing machine learning and citizen science.
Research Project
RESIST will apply a multidisciplinary systems-thinking framework that aims to integrate (i) scientific evidence on key ecosystem processes driving climate change and (ii) socio-economic aspects driving stakeholder decision-making, both of which ultimately affect the Resilience of Ecosystem Services provided by Intact and Sustainably managed Terrestrial ecosystems under future scenarios.
Research Project
ForestNavigator aims at assessing the climate mitigation potential of European forests and forest-based sectors through modelling of policy pathways, consistent with the best standards of LULUCF reporting, and informing the public authorities on the most suitable approach to forest policy and bioeconomy.
With a primarily European scope, ForestNavigator zooms into carefully selected EU Member States to enhance the consistency of the EU and national pathways, but the project also zooms out towards the global scale, and selected key EU trading partners, accounting for extra-EU future drivers and potential leakage effects.
