This report evaluates species distribution models under archetypal climate change and forest management scenarios to assess their impacts on terrestrial forest biodiversity. To achieve this, covariates describing environmental, climatic, and forest structural conditions under various climate change and forest management scenarios were analyzed using two complementary approaches. First, a modeling framework employing integrated species distribution models was applied, including a cross-scale comparison of results at both the pan-European scale and the national scale in Sweden. Second, a biodiversity trend assessment was conducted based on a non-systematic literature review and species-specific range maps.
