Progress since 28th session of WGERevision of the monitoring systemData quality assuranceDatabase managementData analysesCooperation with FutMon
Further Development and Implementation of an EU-level Forest Monitoring System (FutMon)
Co-financed by LIFE+ of EC (2009-2010)Consortium
vTI (Institute for World Forestry as Coordinator)35 Partner institutions in 22 EU-Member States

Cooperation with FutMon
ICP Forestsprovides
monitoring networks (Levels I and II)monitoring methods (ICP Forests Manual)expertise (advice of Expert Panels)
FutMon develops further
large-scale monitoring (Level I)intensive monitoring (Level II)data quality assurancedatabase system
provides EU co-financing of forest monitoring in participating EU-Member States
ICP ForestsProgress Report
Aim of the cooperation
Common monitoring systemof the participating countries of ICP Forestsof the EU-Member Statesmeeting the information needs
of CLRTAP (air pollution effects on forests)EC (forests, climate change, air pollution)
ICP ForestsProgress Report
Level I
About 6800 plotsCoincident with NFI plotsInformation on
Tree healthBiotic/abiotic damageForest growthGround vegetation
Biodiversity Carbon pools
System still growingTurkeyRussia
ICP ForestsProgress Report
Level II
Reduction of the number of plotsfrom 860 to 300permits
higher monitoring intensity per plotpossibility to assess on the same plots
meteorology, tree phenology, tree health, growth (climate change)stand volume and growth, forest soil chemistry (carbon budgets)ground vegetation (biodiversity)

Implementation of further developed system
Proposal under LIFE+Elaborated by vTI and 35 partners from 20 countriesIncludes
Large-scale and intensive monitoringScientific analyses of data (forest health, ecosystem disturbances and resilience, ozone impact, deposition, element fluxes, acidification, eutrophication, biodiversity, climate change
vTI submitted proposal on 30 September 2009Proposal rejected
No EU co-financing of forest monitoring after 2011System (€ 34 Mio ) will be used to only limited extent
