Extracting Forest Land Use Change Components: The Effects on Ecosystem Services and Human Well‐Being
Examining the effects of forest land use change (FLUC) on ecosystem services (ECS) and human well‐being (HWB) is essential for reducing global changes and promoting sustainable development. This study employed a three‐round Delphi method with 25 purposefully selected experts from forestry, natural resources, and related fields to identify significant influencing factors, prioritize research areas, and recognize information gaps. The results show …
The assessment of cooling capacity of blue-green spaces in rapidly developing cities: A case study of Tianjin's central urban area
Nepalese forestry professional's attitudes towards risk and uncertainty in adaptation decisions
The safeguarding of forests in the face of threats from climate change depends on important forest management decisions. As particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, developing countries like Nepal require concentrated efforts to adapt. However, a crucial element that is frequently disregarded is knowledge of the factors that influence these important decisions. In this study, we investigate how risk and uncertainty aversion among…
Co-occurrence of climate-change induced and anthropogenic pressures in Central American key biodiversity areas
Central America hosts many key biodiversity areas (KBAs), areas which represent unique and irreplaceable ecosystems of global importance for species conservation. However, large extents of these areas are not under legal protection and could be threatened by pressures from land use change (e.g. deforestation and agricultural expansion), high human population density (e.g. population growth and urban sprawl) and climate-driven biome shifts. Here, …
Tropical mixed-species plantations can outperform monocultures in terms of carbon sequestration and economic return
Forest adaptation strategies to reconcile timber production and carbon sequestration objectives under multiple risks of extreme drought and windstorm events
Robust management strategies promoting ecological resilience and economic efficiency of a mixed conifer-broadleaf forest in Southwest Germany under the risk of severe drought
Decoupled abiotic and biotic drivers of aboveground and topsoil organic carbon stocks in temperate forests
Forests are major components of global carbon (C) cycling, and hence, it is crucial to explore the drivers of forest functions related to C sequestration. Here, using the multiple linear regression models (MLMs) and structural equation models (SEMs), we evaluated how abiotic (i.e., soil nutrients and topography) and biotic [i.e., functional trait diversity (FTD) and functional trait identity (FTI)] factors regulate aboveground C (AGC) and topsoil…
Roadmap to develop a stress test for forest ecosystem services supply
Forests play a key role in a bio-based economy by providing renewable materials, mitigating climate change, and accommodating biodiversity. However, forests experience massive increases in stresses in their ecological and socioeconomic environments, threatening forest ecosystem services supply. Alleviating those stresses is hampered by conflicting and disconnected governance arrangements, competing interests and claims, and rapid changes in techn…
Assessing synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services in forest landscape management
Reconciling forest profitability and biodiversity conservation under disturbance risk: The role of forest management and salvage logging
Forest management and disturbances are among the main drivers of changes in forest dynamics in temperate ecosystems. To promote and maintain forest multifunctionality and species persistence in the landscape, it is critical that the interactions between these factors and forest biodiversity are disentangled. Still, the relationships between disturbances and forest management are poorly understood and may hinder an adequate planning of management …
Socially optimal forest management and biodiversity conservation in temperate forests under climate change
Optimal rotations with declining discount rate: Incorporating thinning revenues and crop formation costs in a cross-European comparison
Retention as an integrated biodiversity conservation approach for continuous-cover forestry in Europe
Retention forestry implies that biological legacies like dead and living trees are deliberately selected and retained beyond harvesting cycles to benefit biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. This model has been applied for several decades in even-aged, clearcutting (CC) systems but less so in uneven-aged, continuous-cover forestry (CCF). We provide an overview of retention in CCF in temperate regions of Europe, currently largely focused on hab…
Inconsistent recognition of uncertainty in studies of climate change impacts on forests
Background. Uncertainty about climate change impacts on forests can hinder mitigation and adaptation actions. Scientific enquiry typically involves assessments of uncertainties, yet different uncertainty components emerge in different studies. Consequently, inconsistent understanding of uncertainty among different climate impact studies (from the impact analysis to implementing solutions) can be an additional reason for delaying action. In this r…

Are forest disturbances amplifying or canceling out climate change-induced productivity changes in European forests
Recent studies projecting future climate change impacts on forests mainly consider either the effects of climate change on productivity or on disturbances. However, productivity and disturbances are intrinsically linked because 1) disturbances directly affect forest productivity (e.g. via a reduction in leaf area, growing stock or resource-use efficiency), and 2) disturbance susceptibility is often coupled to a certain development phase of the fo…
