Global change will alter the supply of ecosystem services that are vital for human well-being. To investigate service during 21st century, we used a range models and scenarios climate land-use to conduct Europe-wide assessment. Large changes in land use typically resulted large supply. Some these trends may be positive (for example, increases forest area productivity) or offer opportunities "surplus land" agricultural extensification bioenergy production). However, many increase...
Abstract Aim Primary forests have high conservation value but are rare in Europe due to historic land use. Yet many primary forest patches remain unmapped, and it is unclear what extent they effectively protected. Our aim was (1) compile the most comprehensive European‐scale map of currently known forests, (2) analyse spatial determinants characterizing their location (3) locate areas where so far unmapped likely occur. Location Europe. Methods We aggregated data from a literature review,...
Abstract Over the last decades, natural disturbance is increasingly putting pressure on European forests. Shifts in regimes may compromise forest functioning and continuous provisioning of ecosystem services to society, including their climate change mitigation potential. Although forests are central many policies, we lack long‐term empirical data needed for thoroughly understanding dynamics, modeling them, developing adaptive management strategies. Here, present a unique database...
Recent studies projecting future climate change impacts on forests mainly consider either the effects of productivity or disturbances. However, and disturbances are intrinsically linked because 1) directly affect forest (e.g. via a reduction in leaf area, growing stock resource-use efficiency), 2) disturbance susceptibility is often coupled to certain development phase with determining time this specific susceptibility. The objective paper provide an overview changes different regions Europe...
Abstract Heatwaves exert disproportionately strong and sometimes irreversible impacts on forest ecosystems. These remain poorly understood at the tree species level across large spatial scales. Here, we investigate effects of record-breaking 2018 European heatwave growth water status using a collection high-temporal resolution dendrometer data from 21 53 sites. Relative to two preceding years, annual stem was not consistently reduced by but stems experienced twice temporary shrinkage due...
Developing adaptation measures in forestry is an urgent task because the forests regenerated today will have to cope with climate conditions that may drastically change during life of trees stand. This paper presents a comprehensive review potential options Europe based on three pillars: scientific literature, analysis current national response strategies, and expert assessment database compiled COST Action ECHOES (Expected Climate Change Options for European Silviculture). The include...
Forests are experiencing an environment that changes much faster than in at least the past several hundred years. In addition, abiotic factors determining forest dynamics vary depending on its location. Forest modeling thus faces new challenge of supporting management context environmental change. This review has focused three types models used management: empirical, process-based and hybrid models. Recent approaches might lead to applicability empirical under changing conditions, such as...
In July 2016, the European Commission (EC) published a legislative proposal for incorporating greenhouse gas emissions and removals due to Land Use, Use Change Forestry (LULUCF) into its 2030 Climate Energy Framework. The Framework aims at total emission reduction of 40% by all sectors together as part Paris Agreement. LULUCF regulates “no debit” target (Forests Agricultural soils), accounting any additional mitigation potential that might be expected it. We find forest share sector can...
European forests are considered a crucial resource for supplying biomass to growing bio-economy in Europe. This study aimed assess the potential availability of forest from and its spatial distribution. We tried answer questions (i) how is spatially distributed across Europe (ii) where hotspots located? The distribution woody potentials was assessed 2020 stemwood, residues (branches harvest losses) stumps 39 countries. Using Forest Information SCENario (EFISCEN) model international...
