To make available the knowledge obtained through the various tasks of the ALNUS Project, we produced the Best Practices Manual for Alder. This manual presents the ecological and economic importance of the alder trees, the state of alder forests in Portugal, and the decline of this species by an emerging disease (Phytophthora alni). Then, the alternatives for the ecological restoration of riparian forests and the correct management of alder in nurseries and in their ecosystem are presented.
