Forest fires in South Central Chile have exceeded the historical fifty thousand hectares per year, which has dramatic consequences for the forestry sector and the loss of ecosystem services (for example, carbon sequestration). Under this premise, researchers from the Laboratory of Conservation and Dynamics of Volcanic Soils of the Universidad de la Frontera have been awarded a new initiative of the RINGS OF INVESTIGATION<\/strong> call of the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID).<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The project directed by the Director Dr. Francisco Matus, and the Alternate Director Dr. Carolina Merino study the impact of fires on forest degradation through the FiRING project. Together with them, the team of principal investigators of this project, Alejandra Stehr, Rafael Rubilar and Felipe Aburto from the University of Concepci\u00f3n, together with the associated researchers; Claudia Rojas from the University of O’Higgins, and Ignacio Jofr\u00e9 from the University of La Frontera will be part of this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check more details in the following link \/http:\/\/vrip.ufro.cl\/index.php\/investigacion\/1352-ufro-se-adjudica-cinco-proyectos-anillo-de-investigacion-en-ciencia-y-o-tecnologia- 2021<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
