GISIG Geographical Information Systems International Group

We are proud to be partner of such an important and innovative project 100KTREEs Project. Sustainable urban planning and data-driven approach are among our main interests, expertise and fields of activities and since many years GISIG is working to boost innovation and to transfer technologies to improve the smart cities and the well being of citizens. Have a look at the recent progresses of 100KTREEs Project by reading our #Newsletter4 and at the connection we established with Comune di Genova with the organization of a networking workshop aimed at assessing how 100KTREEs can support the implementaiton of the Genova Green Plan

#DYK what #ecosystem #services are provided by trees in an urban area? Discover it with #100KTREEs Biodiversity improvement Studies consider #biodiversity in terms of taxonomic richness but also, to lesser extents, evenness of abundance, or the occurrence and abundance of groups of species classified by their threat status, ecological traits and functions. #trees are key for promoting biodiversity in their direct surroundings. Nevertheless, in an #urban context, many of natural influences by trees to biodiversity are eliminated, because trees are managed, their fallen leaves are removed, the soil is compacted or sealed, and the local #ecosystem is limited in its development. But there can still be a positive influence on the local biodiversity, through: 🌳 Tree wounds, cavities, dead wood, and other tree microhabitats, whose number increase with the tree’s size; 🐦 Providing habitat and food to native fauna (insects, birds, etc.), where native trees are more effective than introduced species, bigger trees are more effective than small plants, and trees with an undergrowth are more valuable than trees alone; 🔗 Providing connection (connectivity) between patches of vegetation (stepping-stones); 🍂 Adding organic matter to the soil, thus food for soil invertebrates; 🌲🌴🎋🌳 Offering spots of more complex vegetational structure or places for spontaneous vegetation where such habitats are rare. #100KTREEs #HorizonEurope #Space #trees #biodiversity #urbanareas #sustainablecities EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme

This morning, GISIG organized an inspiring networking workshop aimed at connecting the 100KTREEs Project with the city of Genoa. The event explored opportunities for collaboration and the application of tools and services designed by the project for planting and managing trees in urban environments. The topic of increasing tree planting is becoming increasingly urgent, as it is vital for making cities more prepared and resilient to climate change. It also plays a key role in enhancing sustainability, livability, and the economic value of urban spaces. For many years, GISIG has been committed to leveraging geospatial technologies to make cities better places to live, while supporting sustainable land planning and risk mitigation efforts. We are excited to organize events like these and advance our mission of #technologytransfer, #capacitybuilding, and #userengagement.

The General Assembly of GISIG is taking place today in Genoa, with the presence of most European members of the association, who have come from all over to discuss with us about: 🔵 Revitalization of the association 🟠Vision, mission, and strategic objectives 🟢 New areas of activity to explore 🟡Ideas for future projects.
