Dr.Forest_T3.2: Dr.Forest_Task 3-2: Ticks and tick-borne diseases.

Description:
We will quantify tick abundance and their temporal population dynamics (spring, summer) by flag trapping. The detection of tick-borne pathogens (bacteria and viruses) will be done by molecular methods (DNA-PCR for Borrelia, RT-PCR for phleboviruse...

Dr.Forest_T2.2: Dr.Forest_Task 2.2: Non-wood forest products

Description:
We will survey the understorey vegetation, and collect medicinal plants for chemical analyses of active substances content. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of these substances will be studied by inhibition of reactive oxy...

Dr.Forest_T4.1: Dr.Forest_Task 4-1: Fine particular matter and ozone.

Description:
The levels of PM on leaves of tree species with differing leaf traits will be estimated by leaf washing and fractionation and identification of PM. This information will be compared to on-going work assessing the O 3 absorption ...

Dr.Forest_T4.2: Dr.Forest_Task 4-2: Pollen allergies

Description:
Hirst-type pollen traps will be placed in plots with and without allergenic birch or hornbeam, and activated for one month during pollen peak. Daily pollen concentration, separated between allergenic grasses, target species and other species will ...

Dr.Forest_T5.1: Dr.Forest_Task 5.1: Synthesizing the effects of forest diversity on multiple health risks and benefits.

Description:
We will use BBNs to synthesise the relationships between forest biodiversity and various human health risks and benefits. BBNs are probabilistic graphical models that analyze complex systems by accounting for all causal relations among the system’...

Dr.Forest_T5.2: Dr.Forest_Task 5-2: Quantification of human health benefits and risks in three urban forests

Description:
In the three Case Study areas, local stakeholder workshops will be held (Task 6-2), drawing on local expert knowledge in order to co-create realistic forest diversification scenarios and to understand which human health-...
