The FUNPOTENTIAL project aims to develop disturbance-resilient forest management and policy strategies, that sustain the supply of wood, climate services, and biodiversity under climate change.

In The Wheat Code, fungal innovations are implemented with local crop systems to combat drought.
Climate change probably impacts forests by increasing natural disturbances, such as storms, wildfires, and insect outbreaks. Such intensified disturbances regimes have negative impacts, e.g., on wood production and the economy.
Nature-based solutions with higher tree species and structural diversity offer promising adaptation options to increase forest resilience and stabilize the provision of ecosystem services. However, developing effective and efficient management solutions requires a solid understanding of disturbance, forest dynamics, and the economic rationale of forest management.
