Management for adaptation to climate change
Management for adaptation to climate change
Embedded Files
Brief summary:
We evaluate different management alternatives to promote forest adaptation to climate change. Through various reserach and demonstration projects we have established a network of forest plots to monitor their reponses to different silvicultural treatments, including diversification cuttings, enrichment plantations or gap creation. We are also testing the survival and growth of plantations along environemnetal gradients using different species and plant provenances. Finally we use forest models to assess the consequences of different management and climate change scenarios on the ecosystem services provision. Our final aim is to provide forest managers with science-based information to help define appropriate management strategies to ensure the persistence of forests and associated goods and services to societies.
