🌳 FOREST NURSERY CONFERENCE 🌳

📅 2 December 2025
📍 Rome, Aula Magna - Piazza Borghese n. 9, Department of Architecture and Design, La Sapienza University
🕘 9:00 a.m.

The AlberItalia ETS Foundation, on behalf of CNR ISAFOM and in collaboration with La Sapienza University, with the patronage of CONAF, invites you to a meeting dedicated to the forest nursery sector as a strategic resource for cities and for the National Ecosystem Restoration Plan.
During the conference, the results of the recently concluded FOR.TREE NURSERY project will be presented to relaunch a shared and innovative vision of the forest nursery sector, both public and in partnership with companies.

👥 The event will be held in presence. For those who cannot make it to the University, it will be possible to attend remotely after registration: 👉🏻 Registration form docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSerJ2qX7zfMAuqHRwRCqt1b2_lMJAp4EZm9LaNQ_Oee1stqdw/viewform

🌳 CONVEGNO VIVAIS

✨ We had the honour of participating in the II International Symposium on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functions in a Context of Global Change, in Alghero (Sardinia), from 12 to 14 November 2025. The ISAFOM delegation - composed of Ilaria Guagliardi, Nicola Ricca, Silvano Fares and Giorgio Matteucci (former ISAFOM Director) - brought the contribution of our research.

📚 ISAFOM presented 6 scientific contributions, concrete evidence of our Institute's ongoing commitment to the study of agro-forestry and environmental systems.
🌍 A valuable opportunity for international comparison and growth for the scientific community.

Le #foreste are among our best allies against the #climate change, But planting more trees is not enough: what matters is which species are chosen and how they are managed. A recent study coordinated by the ETH Zürich, with contributions from the #Cnr-Isafom in Perugia, Italy, shows that the impact of forests on climate varies according to local characteristics and tree composition.

#forests are considered key allies in the fight against #climate change, but more trees do not always mean a cooler climate. A study led by the ETH Zürich, with the participation of the #Cnr-Isafom in Perugia, Italy, shows that the effect of forests also depends on the type of species and local characteristics. Forest management and composition thus emerge as key factors in improving resilience, biodiversity and the ability to mitigate climate warming. The study is published in 'Nature Communications'

Mission

Study and analysis of physical, chemical and biological processes that determine the functioning and dynamics of the agro-ecosystems in Mediterranean climate environmentsThe aim is to improve the quality and quantity of production, optimise the use of natural resources and enhance the functions of agricultural and forestry systems. Development and application of research methods and advanced technological innovations for monitoring and forecasting the impacts and responses of agricultural and forest ecosystems to anthropogenic and climatic pressures.
ISAFOM is part of the CNR's Department of Bio-Agro-Food Sciences and has a 'critical mass' of 89 units distributed between the sites of Portici - NA (headquarters), Catania, Rende (CS), and Perugia.
