Next 13th<\/sup>\u00a0of September is the chosen date for the Portuguese Regional event and 5th<\/sup>\u00a0meeting of the Portuguese RAIN under the AFINET\u00a0project. This is organized under the scope of one more\u00a0seminar \u201cFrom research to application – Cork Oak tree and more!\u201d\u00a0by\u00a0CEF<\/a>\u00a0(Forest Research Centre), from Instituto Superior de Agronomia, that have been taking place since 2014.<\/p>\n

These events are meant for the RAIN members – farmers, consultants, researchers and public bodies, but also to the general public with an interest in agroforestry, which is a type of climate-smart agriculture who also helps reducing rural fires.<\/p>\n

The main objectives of the meeting are: to disclosure the AFINET materials, innovative good-practices and results from PhD thesis recently published by CEF and ISA research teams.<\/p>\n

The meeting will kick off at 9h\/9h30 (local time). In the morning there will be a few presentations about\u00a0“Techniques for rainwater harvesting in drought-prone ecosystems”; “Hedges and Shelterbelts: Opportunities”; “Thinning of young cork oak tree plantations:\u00a0tree competition versus information on cork quality”; “Cork oak stands understory management: impacts on the tree and cork”; “Cork oak stands understory management:\u00a0impacts on the soil” and “What about after 2019?\u00a0AFINET RAIN members survey results”.<\/p>\n

After lunch there will be a field trip to visit young cork oak tree plantations located on agroforestry farms near the Observat\u00f3rio do Sobreiro e da Corti\u00e7a.<\/p>\n
