Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in forest restorations: a large-scale spatial and temporal analysis (BioFoRest)
PRTR Call for Proposals Project
BioFoRest evaluates – in terms of biological diversity and ecosystem functionality – the reforestation actions carried out in the last 70 years in Castilla-La Mancha and the Community of Madrid. The objective is to develop recommendations and indicators for decision-making in the planning and management of forest biodiversity.

King Juan Carlos UniversityForest restoration is the most effective tool to address the climate emergency and biodiversity loss. To be successful today, reforestation requires maximizing biodiversity, functioning, and ecosystem services. BioFoRest proposes a large-scale spatial and temporal analysis of the forests of the network of mature stands of the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha. Its objective is to develop a manual of reforestation practices.
