GeoRange Consortium

The Department

The School of Forestry and Natural Environment is one of the 41 Faculties of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) responsible for training more than 500 undergraduate and about 200 graduate students on all aspects of ecology and management of forest and range resources. The Laboratory of Range Ecology (LARE) is one of the 18 Laboratories of the School aiming at educating and conducting research on grazing and landscape ecology as well as on conservation of range resources. It is part of the Department of Range Science and Wildlife-Freshwater Fisheries of the School of Forestry and Natural Environment. It is a new research unit within the Department and the School and well equipped to conduct range and landscape research.LARE is currently serving as an advisor to public and private companies on rangeland and roadside restoration, on rangeland and landscape development and on silvopastoral management. It has acquired experience in a lot of national and international research projects, such as EPOCH, MEDIMONT, CAMAR or INCO.

In the GeoRange consortium, the Laboratory of Range Ecology (AUTH) will be responsible for formalising the concepts for multi-functional rangeland assessment on community and landscape level which is the prerequisite for a successful definition of a decision support system for sustainable rangeland management. Beside this, the group will also be responsible for the analysis of range management histories in the various study sites, and provide important contributions to the definition of alternative/optimised management strategies in all sites in co-operation with the other local teams. AUTH will closely collaborate with the team from FRI concerning all aspects related to the Lagadas test site.
