Abstract

REWILD-FIRE will assess the additional carbon (C) sink associated with promoting reforestation on former agricultural land and proforestation of existing forests. The project will assess trade-offs between increased biomass C and potential C losses from wildfire emissions and compare choices regarding the spatial planning of reforestation and proforestation throughout the Italian Alps. Project outcomes include estimates of land cover changes expected at the Alpine scale under alternative rewilding policies and climate change scenarios (WP1), projections of vegetation growth and carbon dynamics as a function of land use and climate changes (WP2), and the carbon trade-off due to emerging fire regimes under rewilding and climate change scenarios (WP3).
