Institut für
WO Waldökosysteme
MoniFun is to develop a concept for a European Forest Multifunctionality Monitoring System (EFMMS). The countries collect their national forest monitoring data using different methods and definitions. The evaluation also differs. Further evaluations, analyses and harmonisation may therefore be necessary if this data is to be combined at European level for political decision-makers and stakeholders.
Background and Objective
MoniFun is intended to help better manage the challenges posed by climate change and the use of forest and environmental stressors in Europe through a harmonised, Europe-wide system for monitoring multifunctional forests.
Approach
13 different partners including the Thünen Institute will develop a EFMMS. The specific objectives are to:
- Ensure EFMMS’ wide applicability by using a multi-actor approach to fulfil the needs of institutions and stakeholders
- Ensure the quality & feasibility of EFMMS’ capabilities, by developing guidelines & methods for quantifying essential indicators that describe forest multifunctionality
- Maximise EFMMS’ applicability by developing harmonised solutions to recognised critical methodological bottlenecks
- Ensure EFMMS uptake by making suggestions about practical implementation, permanent governance & funding
