TOPIC 1 – Climate-Resilient Forest Systems
Our research interests include climate-resilient Mediterranean forest ecosystems, wildfire and other disturbance impacts, post-fire forest assessment and recovery, forest structure and dynamics, forest inventory, growth and yield modelling, biomass and carbon estimation, and monitoring of forest ecosystem responses to climate change. We can contribute expertise in remote sensing, UAV-based observations, LiDAR and 3D forest data, GIS, artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning, field-based forest measurements, forest growth modelling, and the integration of field and remotely sensed data. We are particularly interested in collaborative projects addressing wildfire-affected forests, disturbance monitoring, forest resilience and recovery, early assessment after disturbances, predictive modelling, climate adaptation, and decision-support tools for sustainable forest management.
As a public forestry research institute directly linked to operational forest management in Türkiye, we can also contribute Mediterranean forest study areas, field validation, demonstration activities and the transfer of research results into forestry practice.

The Directorate of Western Mediterranean Forestry Research Institute is a public forestry research institute operating under the General Directorate of Forestry (GDF) of Türkiye. The Institute conducts applied and scientific research to develop science-based solutions to practical forestry challenges, generate new knowledge, methods and technologies, and transfer research outcomes into forestry practice.
The Institute’s main research areas include forest management planning and growth and yield, forest ecology and soil, forest management and economics, forest protection and wildfires, silviculture, forest genetics and afforestation, wood and non-wood forest products, wildlife and protected areas, and social forestry.
Our Institute has a highly qualified and multidisciplinary research staff, extensive research and field experience, and the institutional capacity to participate effectively in comprehensive, large-scale, and high-budget national and international research projects.
