A monitoring network to protect biodiversity from anthropogenic atmospheric emissions

Launch of a LIFE Project: IRET to Monitor Forest Ecosystem Disturbances through Leaf Chemistry and Biodiversity Indicators A new LIFE project has been launched, with IRET tasked to monitor disturbances in forest ecosystems using leaf chemistry as an indicator. This method provides insights into the actual nutritional conditions of plants. Alongside this analysis, the Institute aims to test new biodiversity indicators, with a focus on validating their effectiveness, particularly in relation to disturbances caused by air pollution. Current pollutant emission levels in
