This report presents a comprehensive database of forest management (FM) practices in the EU 27. Both current FM practices (curFM) and future alternatives (altFM), crucial for shaping forest policy pathways, for major forest types are covered. The altFMs consider measures addressing adaptation to climate change and evolving demands for ecosystem services, including forest biomass supply, biodiversity conservation and multifunctionality. This open access database emphasizes FM parameters valuable for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers involved in forest management decision-making.
The database combined various sources, including national guidelines, previous research projects, scientific literature, and experts’ opinion. The use of standardized terminology and machine-readable attributes make it easy to use in forest simulation model parametrization.
This Version 1 of the Adapt4Model database will be refined throughout the ForestNavigator project’s duration.
On 25 September 2023, forest policy modellers participated in a preparatory meeting for the Forest Policy Modelling Forum (FPMF).
This workshop report summarizes the key findings and insights from the first stakeholder workshop of the Horizon Europe ForestNavigator, which took place on 19-20 June, 2023. The first workshop of a series brought together stakeholders from various…
