The Sustainable Forest Management group focuses on research, development and the transfer of tools and methods for multifunctional forestry adapted to climate change. Its aims also include production (timber and non-timber products), fire prevention and biodiversity conservation, among others. In terms of forest planning, the group applies innovations in the evaluation of forest structures and the strategic and operational definition of forest management. With regard to fire ecology, the group develops prevention and post-fire restoration strategies while ensuring the integration of the modelling of forest and fire dynamics. It also carries out research and transfer activities in relation to agroforestry systems and plantations.
