Objective:
Researchers and forest managers interested in the study of the resin resource have difficulties in locating and accessing experimental data generated in previous projects.
This circumstance means the loss of precious research and management resources and the experimental data, obtained at the cost of significant technical and economic effort.
SustForest Resin Lab is a platform to share experimental and management data, facilitating both the offer of such data, as well as access to data generated by other agents and the possibility to request its use.
Context:
Over the last few decades, a large number of research projects have been carried out in Europe concerning natural resin resources, which have generated a significant volume of experimental data of high scientific and technical value.
However, researchers and forest managers face the difficulty of accessing these data, as they are scattered in the scientific literature or in private archives, difficult or impossible to locate.
SustForest Resin Lab is a web repository open to the consultation and request of field data available in the area of natural resin experimentation.
