Arctic Passion

H2020 Arctic Passion: Pan-Arctic Observing System of Systems. Pilot Service: Integrated Fire Risk management (INFRA) Wildfires in the Arctic are primarily ignited by lightning strikes and traditionally left to burn unless they threaten infrastructure or human settlements. However, with the rapid impacts of climate change and the increasing development of Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, this approach is no longer viable. The pilot service focuses on developing an innovative wildfire management service designed to address this growing challenge through three main products: Risk mapping

USEIt

Biological invasions represent one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity today, with negative impacts on human health and the economy of our country. The USEIt project – Using Operational Synergies for the Study and Integrated Management of Invasive Alien Species in ITaly – addresses this issue by initiating a shared process between different marine and terrestrial institutes of the National Research Council (CNR) that aims to improve Italian research on invasive species and transform these environmental challenges into opportunities

BeaverFever: evaluating Eurasian beaver habitat suitability to prevent human-wildlife conflict

The project aims to assess habitat compatibility for the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) in Poland and Tuscany by integrating GIS analysis and multi-criteria decision-making approaches (MCDA). As a key ecosystem species, the Eurasian beaver is known for its role in creating wetlands that enhance biodiversity and improve water quality. However, the increasing human impact on riparian areas raises issues of conservation and management. Through the integration of Polish colleagues’ expertise in GIS applications and Italian experience on beaver ecology, the

Se4SAFE

Biogenic nano-selenium fortified tomatoes: quality and safety in a green perspective Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient in many organisms, with antioxidant and anti- senescence effects. In some crops, Se can enhance the nutraceutical properties and delay plant senescence and fruit ripening. The Se4SAFE project investigates the biofortification of tomato fruit for fresh consumption
