COST Action CA21138 Joint effects of climate extremes and atmospheric deposition on European forest (CLEANFOREST)

Joined January 2023
How will future tree species respond to a warmer and wetter climate? As part of the Polytunnel Greenhouse Experiment, three sites on the Swiss Plateau are being monitored from 2021 to 2029, with air temperature and precipitation experimentally manipulated.

Science alone doesn't change policy, it must be translated into action. At the #CLEANFOREST2026 Final Meeting, Simon D. A. Clark (EGU) showed us how to bridge the gap between researchers and policymakers. The lessons learned will soon be reflected in our policy briefs!

Evidence-based forest policies require dialogue between science and decision-makers. Our stakeholder session brought together experts from the European Commission, Italy, Cyprus, and the UK to discuss forest governance, monitoring, and conservation. #CLEANFOREST2026

Responses to climate extremes are becoming more complex and less predictable Forest dynamics are shaped by interacting global change drivers, making single-driver assessments insufficient for predicting responses Understanding forest resilience requires long-term observations

Let's follow the CLEANFOREST members in their fieldwork! Today we are with Klaudia Ziemblińska, our active young researchers coordinator. She's reporting from the TLEN1 site in Poland, where they monitor the effects of reforestation after windthrow events.

"Taking you behind the scenes of the daily life and challenges we face while conducting research in the forest. It’s a classic Nature vs. Human story—because as every researcher knows, the forest doesn't always follow the protocol!"
