Preliminary regional and a local assessment of the global ecosystem restoration potential in Europe.

The project aim to develop preliminary methodologies to enable a better understanding of regional and local ecosystem restoration potential in Europe. Here we will adapt the methodologies developed in “The global tree restoration potential” study led by Dr. JF Bastin to the regional and local level. In particular, the project will focus on (i) increasing the spatial resolution, (ii) using more recent land cover products and (iii) implementing local biotic and abiotic layers.
