The multidisciplinary research project of the Mediterranean Forest Ecology Research Unit (URFM) aims to understand and predict the dynamics, functioning and evolution of Mediterranean forests in a context of global change. This project aims at the adaptation of forest socio-ecosystems, through an approach integrating the eco-physiological, demographic and genetic processes that govern their functioning and evolution, taking into account disturbances (fires, droughts, insect epidemics) and their associated risks. Its final objective is to propose adaptive management strategies for natural and anthropized forest areas that integrate the mitigation of multiple risks to promote their resilience.
