Boreal forests are key to global carbon (C) sequestration and storage. However, the potential impacts of climate change on these could be profound. Nearly 70 % European boreal intensively managed, but our understanding combined effects forest management forest's integral role as a C sink is still limited. In this study, we aim fill gap with simulations process-based dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS. We evaluated four options under two different scenarios (RCP 4.5 RCP 8.5), at southern...
Earth system models have incrementally integrated the climate effects of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). Currently, global estimate stands at less than 1 PgC/year, considering only emissions from actively growing plants while neglecting other sources BVOCs and under stress.Based on process understanding various empirical data, this study extends beyond modelling plant to include BVOC multiple ecosystem components, including litterfall, soil, forest management, stress...
Incorporation of a forest management module in the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS has allowed study and predictions treatment effects on carbon cycle ecosystem structure. In this study, is evaluated at regional scale against observational data from Swedish National Forest Inventory. Simulated standing volume compared observations for four most common types country. Furthermore, eddy-covariance flux measurements Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) are used to evaluate net exchange...
Boreal forests play a crucial role in global carbon sequestration and storage, yet their vulnerability to climate change remains significant concern. We present results from simulations with the process-based dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS of combined effects forest management on sink capacity boreal southern Sweden. compared two future scenarios (RCP 4.5 RCP 8.5) along four options against baseline scenario without interventions. Our findings indicate that projected temperature...
Abstract Boreal and temperate forests are undergoing structural, compositional functional changes in response to increasing temperatures, precipitation, rising CO 2 , but the extent of will also depend on current future forest management. This study utilized dynamic vegetation model LPJ‐GUESS enabled with management (version 4.1.2, rev11016) simulate ecosystem functioning supply services Sweden. We compared three alternative policy scenarios: Business As Usual, no change proportion types...
Abstract The transition to a fossil-free society in Sweden is expected cause an increased demand for forest-derived products which may intensify existing conflicts between forest ecosystem services. This study investigated the preferences among non-industrial private owners maintaining multiple services and their future development. findings were related prioritizations knowledge of management. results generated through means survey revealed consistent high valuation all respondents relating...
Abstract The transition to a fossil-free society in Sweden is expected cause an increased demand for forest-derived products which may intensify existing conflicts between environmental goals. This study investigated the role of non-industrial private forest owners sustaining multiple values and their prioritizations among ecosystem services, management strategies, as well views on future needs. results were generated through means survey revealed consistent high valuation all respondents...
