This paper focuses on an analysis of planted forests data from the 2015 Forests Resources Assessment U.N. Food and Agriculture Organisation (FRA 2015). It forms one a series papers in FRA special issue this journal.

While sustainable forestry in Europe is characterized by the provision of a multitude forest ecosystem services, there exists no comprehensive study that scrutinizes their sensitivity to management on pan-European scale, so far. We compile scenario runs from regionally tailored growth models and Decision Support Systems (DSS) 20 case studies throughout analyze whether service depends intensity other co-variables, comprising regional affiliation, social environment, tree species composition....
Summary Exotic tree species are widely used in forest plantations for their often high productivity and performance compared to native trees. However, these advantages may be compromised by herbivore damage. A list of European insect that have expanded host range one 28 exotic introduced E urope was compiled from a systematic literature review. The number successful expansions analysed using three predictors: (i) phylogenetic relatedness between species; (ii) area covered Europe; (iii) time...
The management of non-native tree species in European forests has a long history, but the information on current number and geographic distribution these is incomplete scattered across various datasets. This study aims to perform an inventory most frequent growing analyse their extent, origin. Our results show that at least 150 are currently provenance trials. genera represented by largest Eucalyptus, Pinus, Acacia Abies. Species areas Robinia pseudoacacia (2.44 million ha), Eucalyptus...
Cities, due to the presence of ports and airports high diversity trees in streets, parks, gardens, may play an important role for introduction invasive forest pests. We hypothesize that areas urban facilitate establishment non-native Based on scientific literature a pan-European database species feeding woody plants, we analysed where first detections occurred European countries. collected site data 137 Europe 508 country-specific records. also estimated percentage tree cover suitable...
The world’s forests have never been more threatened by invasions of exotic pests and pathogens, whose causes impacts are reinforced global change. However, forest entomologists pathologists have, for too long, worked independently, used different concepts proposed specific management methods without recognising parallels synergies between their respective fields. Instead, we advocate increased collaboration these two scientific communities to improve the long-term health forests. Our...
Abstract The demand for wood in Europe is expected to increase the coming decades. However, any theoretical maximum supply will be affected by sustainability constraints, motivations of forest owners and regional factors, such as incentives, species assortments. influence these factors on changeable. In this study, we quantify what might realistically available additional from currently existing European forests, based a combination results resource model EFISCEN-Space literature review...
Climate change poses a major challenge for forest management in Europe. Understanding how forestry professionals perceive climate is critical to inform decision-making on adaptation. The aim of this study was explore the perceptions regarding and its effects forests, as well importance different strategies Using survey, which we received 565 [retained] responses, determined regional differences across nine European countries six professional groups. We found North-South gradient early 2019 –...

Abstract Europe has a history rich in examples of successful and problematic introductions trees with native origin outside (non-native trees, NNT). Many international legal frameworks such as treaties conventions also the European Union have responded to global concern about potential negative impacts NNT that may become invasive natural ecosystems. It is, however, national regional legislation particular affects current future management decisions forest sector shapes landscapes Europe. We...
The 27 countries in the European Union have a combined total of 177 million ha forested and other wooded land. These are mainly characterised as semi-natural, multi-functional forests. Only about 13 plantationsi, although an additional 47 regarded planted forests (Forest Europe 2011). highly diverse due to centuries management with different cultural objectives. Often current is nature oriented so may not be used primarily for wood production. Wood provides only small part income many 16...
Abstract The translation of genetic gains into economic is important for evaluating the impact using genetically improved forest reproductive material (FRM) in sector. However, few studies based on European forests have been published to date. Here, we analyse stand-level wood production and financial performance planting FRM even-aged planted focusing four case with advanced breeding programme different management contexts: Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) southern Finland, central Sweden...
Emerging and invasive tree pests pathogens in Europe are increasing number range, having impacts on biodiversity, forest services, ecosystems human well-being. Stakeholders involved management contribute to the detection of new emerging (PnPs). We surveyed different groups stakeholders European countries. The were mainly researchers, health surveyors managers, as well owners, nurseries, policy-makers, advisors, forestry authorities, NGOs civil society. investigated which tools they used...
Abstract We developed 20 polymorphic nuclear microsatellites from Pinus pinaster using genomic libraries enriched with repeated motifs. A total of 25 individuals five different populations were used to estimate genetic diversity parameters.
To anticipate European climate scenarios for the end of century, we explored gradient within REINFFORCE (RÉseau INFrastructure de recherche pour le suivi et l’adaptation des FORêts au Changement climatiquE) arboreta network, established in 38 sites between latitudes 37° and 57°, where 33 tree species are represented. We aim to determine which climatic variables best explain their survival growth, identify those that more tolerant variation growth future might constrain. used empirical models...
Abstract For non-native tree species with an origin outside of Europe a detailed compilation enemy including the severity their attack is lacking up to now. We collected information on native and attacking trees, i.e. type, extent time first observation damage for 23 important trees in 27 European countries. Our database includes about 2300 synthesised records (synthesised per biotic threat, country) from over 800 species. Insects (49%) fungi (45%) are main observed threats, but also...
