Robust decision-making in forestry seeks solutions that reduce the risk of environmental damage and economic losses, which matters for designing forest adaptation measures. We propose a state-of-the-art methodology to identify robust drought adaptive strategies. First, we used a process-based model ...

For a sawmill, the amount of CO₂ generated by its construction and subsequent production activities was estimated. The sawmill has been in operation for the last 90 years and has processed around 30,000 m³ of logs annually. We have determined the forest area that would remove this amount of exhaust ...

Forest disturbances in Europe are very likely to increase in frequency and intensity. Assessing their economic consequences is required to identify feasible adaptation strategies. Such economic calculations depend on estimates for the reduction in revenues after disturbance events. These losses can ...

During the last decades, political parties have still appeared as an almost unknown factor within the substantial expansion of topics in forest policy research. While discriminating between green, state/protection and market/use orientated parties, this study aims to reveal the influence of...

Successive calamities, including bark beetle outbreaks and windthrow, have caused severe damages in German forests since 2018. The loss of forest stands as an important source of income makes it increasingly difficult for forest management to secure sustainable revenues, which in turn threatens the ...

The forestry sector is facing critical challenges due to climate change. Decision-making support based on efficiency evaluation using non-parametric methods could provide important information for both forest managers and policymakers. However, such advanced technical analysis is scarce in forestry ...

Forests have provided support for human health and survival since ancient times. With improved public awareness of health issues and the importance of forest ecological functions, forest therapy has gradually gained momentum. Forest therapies have been applied around the world as preventive and...

Policies aiming to integrate biodiversity conservation into forest management rely on the engagement of local forest owners. This requires the mobilization of their experiences and site-specific knowledge, which is not only factual knowledge, but deeply connected to individual values, attitudes and ...

Multifunctional forestry in Germany is characterized by long production periods and highly complex biological-technical processes. Therefore forest enterprises are complex systems, which are closely intertwined with their economic environment. To ensure their economic success, forest enterprises...

Long-term planning is an important aspect of forestry. The future-oriented guiding principles of forestry stakeholders impact their decisions and therefore the future of the sector. Forestry faces major challenges due to global changes. At the same time, the ability of traditional forestry...
