Dr.Forest_T1.1: Dr.Forest_Task1.1 Sensory experience via visual scenes.

Description:
Using Attention Restoration Theory (ART 22) and Stress Reduction Theory (23), we will assess how visual and auditory contact with forest biodiversity influences mental health and well-being. Controlled psychological experiments will be conduc...

Dr.Forest_T1.2: Dr.Forest_Task 1-2 Sensory experience via soundscapes

Description:
We will adopt a soundscape ecology approach to quantify the effect of forest biodiversity on acoustic diversity and complexity. Automatic audio-recorders (AudioMoth) will be deployed in the plots and will record at different seasons to...

Dr.Forest_T2.1: Dr.Forest_Task 2-1 Microclimate

Description:
We will analyse temporal microclimatic stability by assessing the thermal buffer capacity (increase in surface temperature after one hour of insolation) from two subsequent thermal drone-borne images taken in the heat-up phase of a cloud-free summ...

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_T3.1: Dr.Forest_Task 3-1: Risk of urtication by forest caterpillars

Description:
We expose oak phytometers, i.e. young potted trees to control for origin and size, in pure vs. mixed oak plots of Experiments and Exploratories. Oak processionary sentinel larvae will be exposed on phytometers, until the third instar ...

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_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 ...
