How to assess the contribution of forests and wood use to climate change mitigation: Navigating through a controversial debate
Open AccessGabriele Weber-Blaschke, Matthias Dieter et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2026
The role of social, policy and economic forces in shaping forest restoration practices in Europe
Open AccessMaitane Erdozain, Iciar Alberdi et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2026References: 58
Forest restoration in Europe has a complex history strongly influenced by various social, policy and economic factors. Understanding these influences is essential for shaping effective restoration strategies and avoiding past mistakes, particularly in light of meeting ambitious targets outlined in initiatives such as the EU Nature Restoration Regulation. Here we identify the key social, policy and economic drivers, barriers and enablers that have…
Climate-relevant land cover composition and configuration trajectories in Europe
Open AccessMarco Ferro, Trishna Dutta et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025
Land use and land cover change (LULCC) can affect the climate system by altering biophysical surface characteristics. At the local scale, climate regulating functions are co-determined by land cover composition and configuration, i.e. the proportions and the spatial arrangement of land cover types. However, research on the relationship between LULCC and climate often focuses individually either on compositional or configurational aspects. As a re…
ORF, an operational framework to measure resilience in social–ecological systems: The forest case study
Open AccessFrancisco Lloret, Pilar Hurtado et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2024References: 9
Resilience is commonly addressed when dealing with the sustainable planning and management of social–ecological systems, but we lack a unified framework for its quantitative assessment and application. We present an operational resilience framework (ORF) based on recognizing and relating several elements: system variables (e.g., ecosystem services), disturbances and stressors acting at given spatiotemporal scales, a reference state, and metrics c…
Shaping and enhancing resilient forests for a resilient society
Open AccessElena Cantarello, Jette B Jacobsen et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024References: 74
The world is currently facing uncertainty caused by environmental, social, and economic changes and by political shocks. Fostering social-ecological resilience by enhancing forests’ ability to provide a range of ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, habitat provision, and sustainable livelihoods, is key to addressing such uncertainty. However, policy makers and managers currently lack a clear understanding of how to operationalise t…
The priorities in managing forest disturbances to enhance forest resilience: A comparison of a literature analysis and perceptions of forest professionals

Close-to-nature forestry and intensive forestry – Two response patterns of forestry professionals towards climate change adaptation
Open AccessDennis Roitsch, Silvia Abruscato et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2023Cited by: 3References: 1
Climate change poses a major challenge for forest management in Europe. Understanding how forestry professionals perceive climate change is critical to inform decision-making on climate change adaptation. The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of forestry professionals regarding climate change and its effects on forests, as well as the importance of different forest management strategies for climate change adaptation. Using a survey…
Roadmap to develop a stress test for forest ecosystem services supply
Open AccessK Kramer, Laura Bouriaud et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2022
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…
Carbon Accounting in Harvested Wood Products: Assessment Using Material Flow Analysis Resulting in Larger Pools Compared to the IPCC Default Method
Open AccessGediminas Jasinevičius, Marcus Lindner et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018
Increasing the amount of carbon stored in harvested wood products (HWPs) is an internationally recognized measure to mitigate climate change. Several approaches and tiers of methods may be used to analyze the contribution of HWP in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and removals at a regional and national level. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides guidelines on three tiers of methods for estimating annual carbon stock cha…
Are forest disturbances amplifying or canceling out climate change-induced productivity changes in European forests
Open AccessChristopher Reyer, Stephen Bathgate et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017
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…

Challenges and opportunities in mapping land use intensity globally
Open AccessTobias Kuemmerle, Karlheinz Erb et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2013
Future increases in land-based production will need to focus more on sustainably intensifying existing production systems. Unfortunately, our understanding of the global patterns of land use intensity is weak, partly because land use intensity is a complex, multidimensional term, and partly because we lack appropriate datasets to assess land use intensity across broad geographic extents. Here, we review the state of the art regarding approaches f…
A conceptual framework for analysing and measuring land-use intensity
Open AccessKarlheinz Erb, Karl-Heinz Erb et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2013
Large knowledge gaps currently exist that limit our ability to understand and characterise dynamics and patterns of land-use intensity: in particular, a comprehensive conceptual framework and a system of measurement are lacking. This situation hampers the development of a sound understanding of the mechanisms, determinants, and constraints underlying changes in land-use intensity. On the basis of a review of approaches for studying land-use inten…

Ecosystem Service Supply and Vulnerability to Global Change in Europe
Open AccessDagmar Schröter, Wolfgang Cramer et al.ARTICLEScience2005
Global change will alter the supply of ecosystem services that are vital for human well-being. To investigate ecosystem service supply during the 21st century, we used a range of ecosystem models and scenarios of climate and land-use change to conduct a Europe-wide assessment. Large changes in climate and land use typically resulted in large changes in ecosystem service supply. Some of these trends may be positive (for example, increases in fores…
