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...
Abstract Resilience is commonly addressed when dealing with the sustainable planning and management of social–ecological systems, but we lack a unified framework for its quantitative assessment application. We present an operational resilience (ORF) based on recognizing relating several elements: system variables (e.g., ecosystem services), disturbances stressors acting at given spatiotemporal scales, reference state, metrics comparing observed to state. These elements fit into rationale...
