CLEANFOREST COST Action
@CA_Cleanforest
COST Action CA21138 Joint effects of climate extremes and atmospheric deposition on European forest (CLEANFOREST)
#Grazing can be a significant source of stress for both #soil and #vegetation, particularly in #arid and semi-arid ecosystems. That's why we need to know more about it. #erosion #soilHealth #SoilProtection #scicomm @COSTprogramme @HebrewU


We present another CLEANFOREST experimental site, equipped with high-resolution #dendrometers and #microclimate #sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity, soil moisture) to supporting research on #ClimateChange impacts and sustainable #ForestManagement. @creek_danielle @COSTprogramme

25th June 2025; 10:30 – 11:15 AM (CET) webinar with Jakub Jeleń (Warsaw University of Life Sciences) and Diego Rodríguez (University of Bristol) "Global Change and Next Generation Manipulation Experiments – summary of CLEANFOREST Training School" Info: cleanforest.eu/news/twenty-fi…



With the summer break approaching, we'd like to highlight some recent activities of the CLEANFOREST COST Action. Here is the report from the third annual meeting, held in Warsaw in March. cleanforest.eu/activities/thi… @RossGuerrieri @COSTprogramme

The @CA_Cleanforest Training School on next generation manipulation experiments hosted @BIFoRUoB @LES_UniBham this week covered theory and offered hands-on-experience to >20 ECRs for measuring ecophysiology, root morphology & soil properties. New perspectives & challenges found!
Participants of the CLEANFOREST #Training School on "Global Change and Next Generation Manipulation Experiments (GCNG) at BIFoR-FACE" suited up to spotlight the critical role of #forests in a #ChangingClimate! At the heart of the action: FACE (Free-Air CO₂ Enrichment) research.

Strengthening collaboration within @COSTprogramme! Next Interview with @m_mokros, Chair of @3DForEcoTech to talk about being a COST Action leader and common goals and objectives shared with CLEANFOREST. 📅 20 JUNE 2025, 13:00 – 13:45 CET Register at events.teams.microsoft.com/event/31f9944a…

The #carbon and #water balance is critical in #Mediterranean ecosystems, where hot, dry summers and limited water availability strongly influence #plant growth and #ecosystem functioning. @eLTER_Europe @COSTprogramme #forest #ClimateExtrems #ExperimentalSite #resilience


That sounds really exciting for anyone interested in #biomonitoring and dreaming of a future with more shared #protocols and #data!
New publication supported by CLEANFOREST! Klisz et al. "Temperature-driven shifts in spatiotemporal stability of climate-growth responses of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) from the southern Baltic Sea region". doi.org/10.1016/j.agrf… #forest #stressresponse #Dendroecology

On 11th June, at 2:00 PM (CET), Toprak Aslan (University of Münster), CLEANFOREST STSM Grantee, will talk about "Understanding the effect of wind-induced pressure fluctuations on #gas exchange at a snow-covered #boreal #forest". Info and registration: cleanforest.eu/news/twenty-fo…
