The role of values in climate-related decision-making is a prominent theme climate communication research. present study examines whether forest professionals are more driven by than scientists are, and if this results value polarization.

Abstract Beliefs, expectations and values are often assumed to drive decisions about climate change adaptation. We tested hypotheses based on this assumption using survey responses from 508 European forest professionals in ten countries. used the results identify communication needs decision strategies at play, develop guidelines adequate communications observed polarization positive negative associated with impacts accepted by respondents. identified a mechanism creating that we call...
Abstract Background Science‐based decisions regarding forest management require the knowledge of impact thinning regimens on forests’ vitality and resilience. There is no systematic study analysing role approaches nutritional status forests, serving as a surrogate for their health growth. Aims We assessed ‘heavy from above’ versus ‘no management’ foliar chemistry old‐growth European beech stands calcareous site with cambisol/chromic luvisol soil in Thuringia, Germany. Methods Macro‐...
