Future forest management and climate modelling
“We develop forest management strategies that maximize wood production and increase the resilience of our forests, respecting its value for biodiversity.”
SYNTHESIS
We will develop scenarios of forest growth and wood production in Switzerland under anticipated climate and forest management conditions. Scenarios will be validated through collaboration with national, regional, and local stakeholders. The forest planning model that we develop will enable informed dialogue with stakeholders.
To assess tree species’ climate suitability and growth dynamics that are embedded in the forest management scenario), we will employ process-based models.
