TRAVEL
by plane: there are no international airports in Trento. The nearest one (about 100 km) is Verona Airport. A shuttle take you in about 20 minutes to the Verona Porta Nuova train station. Other airports are Milano Malpensa (264 km), Milano Linate (226 km), Bergamo-Orio al Serio (180 km), Venezia (173 km).
by train:
if you take the national railway Trenitalia , Mezzocorona is the nearest station (40 minutes by foot).
you can use the line "Trento-Malé" which is the small train next to the main train station in Trento. Leave at "Grumo" station. From there, take the foot pathway over a white bridge to cross the river, use the pedestrian street tunnel to cross the big street in front of S. Michele to reach the roundabout and then FEM (route).

by car: you can reach Trento by driving on the Brennero (A22) motorway (San Michele all’Adige exit). For detailed indications look at the websites www.viamichelin.com

The main objective is to generally assess the resistance capacity of Norway spruce to bark beetle (both in spatial and temporal scales) in natural mixed forests dominated by Norway spruce and European beach. The assessment should serve as a basis for management strategies in forest reserves and surrounding commercial forest stands. The main output of the project is a management methodology (a manual) that will give procedures of forest protection in buffer zones of forest reserves and surrounding managed forest stands.
The key questions are as follows:
What is the role of disturbances by Ips typographus (L.) in the dynamics of natural temperate forests?
What factors influence the spatio-temporal spread of Ips typographus (IT) at the scale of individuals and spatial structures, and how do these factors interact?
How does the spatio-temporal spread of IT take place with respect to stand structure, habitat (forest site type) and disturbance history?
How does the gradation of IT influence the development of the spatial structure and species composition of forests?
What is the optimal intensity of protection steps with respect to population density of IT, forest stand features and amount of untreated fresh deadwood after disturbance?
The study is supported by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic, Project No. NAZV QJ1230371 ‘Spatio-temporal pattern of bark beetle spreading in the natural temperate forest after disturbance’
