A few members of the CLEANFOREST core group (Rossella Guerrieri, Mariangela Fotelli, Klaudia Ziemblinska and Yann Salmon) co-organized a session on Long-term ecosystem observations and manipulations to understand the effects of global change on forest ecosystems (B8)‘ during the first eLTER scientific conference in Tampere (Finland) on 23-27th June 2025.
The session included 11 talks and 1 invited talk from Ram Oren: Water use and carbon accumulation in a pine forest under elevated atmospheric CO2
BIFoR FACE: Responses of a temperate forest to seven years of elevated CO2.

We are also proud that the Action could support two young researchers (Klaudia Ziemblinska and Raquel Ruiz Checa) with Young researcher conference grants to attend the conference and present their results as oral presentations.
