RED BOSQUE-CLIMA
Monitoring stations, high-precision dendrometers and open data to study forest growth, biodiversity and the effects of climate change in Argentina.
Importance of Forests
Forests represent a central share of terrestrial carbon biomass and support much of the planet’s biodiversity. They are essential for regulating water, carbon, energy and nutrient cycles, while providing vital ecosystem services and resources.
Main Objectives
Establish and coordinate the network
Create a national network to monitor the growth of Argentine native forests, integrating several existing initiatives.
Assess climate effects
Analyze how global climate change affects the dynamics of native forest ecosystems.
Project forest changes
Develop projections to support decision-making for conservation and sustainable management.
Monitoring Network
The network integrates stations distributed across Argentina’s main forest regions, combining initiatives such as RAPP and RADAR to generate accurate information on native forest growth.
Headquarters
IANIGLA, Mendoza.
Nodes
NOA, NEA, Centro y Patagonia.
Methodology
The methodology combines continuous monitoring technology with scientific practices to record tree growth and environmental variables.
High-precision dendrometers
Accurate measurement of tree growth.
Continuous monitoring
Continuous observation of growth and environmental conditions.
Environmental variables
Temperature, humidity, precipitation and associated data.
Wood microsamples
Samples for health and growth analysis.
Participating Institutions
Collaboration among institutions committed to research and conservation of native forests in Argentina.
