The Institute of BioEconomy (CNR-IBE, former Institute of Biometeorology - CNR-IBIMET and Trees and Timber Institute – CNR-IVALSA) is a Research Institution with a permanent scientific staff of about 200 either researchers or technicians. It is actively involved in research, technology development and transfer, training and dissemination in several bio-economy fields, including the sustainable management and use of biological resources, the conservation of biodiversity, and the mitigation and adaptation to climate changes. A relevant part of the CNR-IBE activities aims at developing methods, models, tools and indicators for the monitoring of agro-forest ecosystems. A special focus is devoted to wildfire risk assessment with studies on the following topics: calibration and validation of fire spread and behavior models at the landscape scale; effects of weather variables and climate conditions on wildfire occurrence and spread; characterization of wildland-urban interfaces prone to wildfires; assessment of wildfire exposure and risk; climate change impact on wildfire probability and severity; evaluation of the effects of fuel management strategies on wildfire risk reduction; mitigation and adaptation to wildfire regimes determined by climate change; analysis of LIDAR, terrestrial laser scanner and other remote sensing data; development of instruments and monitoring techniques.
