📌The TeleNitro Project's Science Dissemination Day
On 25 February 2026, at the Arca2010 Experimental Company (NA), a scientific dissemination day was held dedicated to the activities of the project #TeleNitro, an initiative funded under the PRIMA - Section 2 call 2022 programme. The project aims to identify sustainable solutions to reduce the use of nitrogen fertilisers in agriculture, contributing to the improvement of nitrogen use efficiency and the reduction of the environmental impact of agricultural practices.
The scientific approach adopted is based on the use of plant species capable of producing natural molecules with nitrification inhibiting properties (BNI - Biological Nitrification Inhibition). This innovative strategy aims to optimise nitrogen management in crop systems, reducing leaching losses and greenhouse gas emissions.
The event involved researchers, field technicians and stakeholders, offering an opportunity to discuss the project's objectives and the results obtained in the first two years of activity. The day also saw the presentation of easy-to-use field instruments, useful to operators for the determination of micro and macronutrients in vegetation and soil.
The attentive participation and interest shown by those present confirmed the relevance of the TeleNitro project and the value of its spin-offs for an increasingly sustainable and innovative agriculture.

🎥 Fires, storms and pests, the future of European forests is at risk, according to a study published in Science, which also involves the CNR, by 2100 the damage could even double Interview with: Alessio Collalti, first researcher CNR Isafom Perugia
We are pleased to report the report aired on TGR Leonardo on 17 March 2026, dedicated to the results of an important study published in Science on the future of European forests in the face of climate change.
The research highlights how fires, storms and pests pose increasing threats to forest ecosystems, with projections indicating a possible doubling of damage by 2100.
The report interviewed Alessio Collalti, First Researcher at CNR-ISAFoM, who illustrated our Institute's contribution to the study, in particular through the use of advanced ecosystem models to assess climate impacts on forests and support management and adaptation strategies.
The report was produced by TGR Piemonte, under the direction of Roberto Pacchetti and deputy director Ines Maggiolini.

🔬Research published in Science, with contributions from CNR-Isafom and researchers Alessio Collalti e Dalmonech Daniela, shows that by 2100, forest disturbances in Europe - fires, storms and xylophagous insects - will increase under all climate scenarios.
📈The analysis, based on more than 30 years of satellite data and advanced modelling, shows a strong vulnerability especially in southern and western Europe. The study underlines the urgency of integrating disturbance risk into forest policies and adopting adaptive management strategies to ensure resilience and ecological functions of forests.

The Portici office of Isafom continues its popularisation tour with guided tours to show citizens and students what scientific research on soil, the #foreste, on the’#agriculture and the'1TP5Environment in general.
This time, on the morning of 12 March, the visitors were the students of classes IV and V of the PROFAGRI institute (an essential training facility for the creation of professionalism consistent with the new competitive choices to which the Campania agricultural enterprise is called, Angri and Sarno locations) who, together with their teachers, were accompanied by Isafom researchers in the laboratories. They thus saw the various aspects of research and some of the many activities carried out at the institute.
It was once again a fascinating journey in which various stages were covered, ranging from agricultural to forestry and environmental sciences.
My heartfelt thanks go to my colleagues (Dr Marialaura Bancheri; Dr Laura Gargiulo; Dr Eugenia Monaco; Dr Maria Esposito) and to my colleagues (Dr Angelo Basile; Dr Luca Vitale; Dr Lucio Pisano; Bruno di Matteo) who, with their willingness, enthusiasm and talent for dissemination, interested the young people present.

📌 TRACE 2026 - Deadline extended
CNR - Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Istituto per i Sistemi Agricoli e Forestali del Mediterraneo (ISAFOM), as co-organising institution, announces that the deadline for submitting contributions to TRACE 2026 has been extended to 31 January 2026.
The extension of the deadline is intended to facilitate more accurate finalisation of abstracts by interested researchers.
The conference, dedicated to the latest developments in the field of Tree-Ring Science, will be held in Rome from 25 to 30 May 2026 and will provide an important opportunity for scientific discussion on dendrochronological methodologies, interdisciplinary applications and research perspectives in the environmental and climatic fields.
