Anthropogenic GHG emissions add a fast reinforcing feedback cycle to global carbon dynamics which continues influence concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere. When looking at forest cycles there is potential utilizing another cycle, namely involving harvested wood products. To assess of mitigation options arising from these flows, forest-based sector Austria was modelled causal links, dependencies and involved GHG-relevant processes. Carbon were investigated forests soil carbon, product...
Abstract Habitat degradation and fragmentation are two of the main drivers for biodiversity loss. To mitigate negative impact in forests, conservation targets increasingly addressing connectivity to facilitate independent movement species between habitat fragments ensure genetic diversity adaptation climate change. In this article, we present a novel approach identifying prioritizing stepping stones preserving based on national regional data Austrian forest ecosystems. Our study identified...
Riparian forests are among the most diverse terrestrial ecosystems, yet their biodiversity is increasingly threatened by habitat degradation, climate change, river regulation and invasive species. We investigated deadwood, widely recognized as an indicator for forest biodiversity, in riparian of Mura-Drava-Danube Transboundary Biosphere Reserve. The Reserve a conservation area that spans five countries three rivers located south-eastern Europe. In detail, we analyzed drivers lying deadwood...

The current state of research shows that there is big potential for the use wood, particularly harvested wood products (HWP) to mitigate climate change and increase carbon stocks. Despite discussions on different accounting approaches, forest-based sector can contribute with production long-lasting reach international goals. This leads high demands forests what they deliver both at EU national levels. In Austria it has been bemoaned by Environmental Agency in its recent –eleventh- control...
We present the results of a simulation experiment that evaluated three scenarios forest management in context climate change mitigation. Two refer to adaptation measures. The third scenario was business-as-usual representing continuation current management. wanted know whether tree species composition or implementation shorter rotation cycles is accordance with objectives Our based on data Austrian National Forest Inventory. A sector model used derive timber demand and potential harvesting...
Abstract. Whereas ice cores from high-accumulation sites in coastal Antarctica clearly demonstrate annual layering, it is debated whether a seasonal signal also preserved lower-accumulation further inland and particularly on the East Antarctic Plateau. In this study, we examine 5 m of early Holocene Dome Fuji (DF) core at high temporal resolution by continuous flow analysis. The was continuously analysed for concentrations dust, sodium, ammonium, liquid conductivity, water isotopic...
Abstract Non-native tree species – defined as those intentionally or unintentionally introduced by humans have long been a part of the Alpine Space, providing numerous benefits, but also posing potential threat to native biodiversity and related ecosystem services. Compared urban space where non-native trees comprise most species, number in forests plantations is relatively low. To evaluate risks benefits transnational strategy for responsible use management needed. The goals are tailor...
Roots can induce significant changes in the rhizosphere soil. The aim of present study was to investigate influence beech (Fagus silvatica L.) roots on chemistry soil solution. Special emphasis given effect NH4+ supply since many forest soils presently receive high inputs from atmospheric deposition. In a mature stand, non-mycorrhized long root forced grow into rhizotrone filled with homogenized acidic Bw horizon Dystric Cambisol. Beside control, enriched treatment installed. Thirty micro...
GHG emissions of an extensively managed Danish organic farm were estimated upstream and on-farm. The results compared to national levels based on land area output. Overall, the emitted 2.12 t CO2eq ha−1 yr−1. Excluding use, use change, forestry (LULUCF) related emissions, combined from energy- agriculture-based activities at case 47% lower (per unit area) 12% higher output), than agriculture. With current livestock density (0.64 LU ha−1) crop production area, study would supply average 1,466...
Impacts of harvest reductions on the value-added wood chain – case Austria Wooden biomass availability and possibility a scarcity due to potential reduction are crucial importance Austrian forest-based sector but also relevant for decision makers in environmental policy. The simulation model (model: “Forst- und Holzwirtschaft”, FOHOW) was used simulate two independent scenarios with forests available supply (FAWS). In one scenario implemented FAWS “average” profitability, other take place...
Knowledge of habitat requirements saproxylic insects and their response to changes is critical for assessing the ecological impacts forest management. Several studies have demonstrated a positive relationship tree-species richness, deadwood volume, or structural diversity with species diversity, while abundance potential pest often been negative. A better understanding which factors drive insects' occurrence therefore essential deriving urgently needed thresholds key conditions. We tested...
