Close-to-nature forestry (CNF) has a long tradition in European Alpine forest management, playing crucial role ensuring the continuous provision of biodiversity and ecosystem services, including protection against natural hazards. However, climate change is causing huge uncertainties about future applicability CNF region. The question arises as to whether current practices are still suitable for adapting forests impacts while also meeting increasing societal demands regarding forests, their...
Strategic long-term planning of mountain forests in the European Alps requires a balancing act between sustaining forest biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES) mitigating disturbance risks, particularly under climate change. In this context, close-to-nature forestry (CNF) is considered an effective strategy to adapt change while BES. However, it remains unclear for management whether current CNF strategies sufficiently reduce forests’ predisposition climate-change-induced shifts...
