Development of a platform for pasture management in the dehesa
The GRASSEN operational group aims to develop a platform to support pasture management in the dehesa; integrating information from various types of remote and proximal sensors; combined with field data. Key recommendations include analyzing experiences in sensorisation and remote detection; compiling georeferenced data on Mediterranean pastures; and developing mathematical models to estimate pasture production; structure; and quality. Results obtained so far include a list of the most common pasture varieties in the region; reports on cultivated pasture types; protocols for image analysis using different methods (SENTINEL-2; unmanned flights; multispectral cameras); and mathematical models to estimate pasture production; structure; and quality. These findings are crucial for improving pasture management in the dehesa; enabling managers to make informed decisions to maximize productivity and sustainability in this important agroforestry system.

Club GREY HORSE – Providing multiple ecosystems services by forest renters
This case study is drafting new legislation that allows renting forestland for multiple purposes in order to increase economic efficiency and maintain a balance between all ecosystem services. This Russian case works on regulation mechanisms so that people renting forestland can use it for multiple purposes, and to include ecosystem services in the Forest Code.
