Recording of the second ForestTalks webinar
Watch the recording of the second webinar of our “Forest Talks” webinar series”: EU Forest Policy and Pathways in a Changing World”, which was held on March 17th 2025.
D3.2 Prototype of EU forest meta model sensitive to climate change and disturbances
This deliverable describes the i3PGmiX model. The model is based on the 3PGmix process-based forest growth model and includes developments on the representation of photosynthesis, autotrophic respiration, natural mortality, forest management, as well as soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics. Besides a technical model description for future users, the deliverable also includes a proof of concept where the i3PGmiX model results for a simulation of climate change impacts on forest growth in Europe, as well as the impact of wind and bark beetle disturbance activity.

D3.4 Assessment of natural disturbances and extreme events impact on forest mitigation potential
Deliverable D3.4 presents an integrated modeling approach to assess how natural disturbances—such as wildfires, bark beetle outbreaks, and windstorms—interact with forest management and climate change to affect the carbon sequestration potential of European forests.
D5.2 Report on HWP contribution potentials to EU forest sector mitigation
The D5.2 report analyzes CO2 emissions and removals arising from Harvested Wood Products (HWP) with a focus on five out of a total of 18 calculated scenarios, including alternative levels for wood demand and wood uses as defined in the ForestNavigator project (see D5.1). The estimates are based on the two pool-based approaches as described by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), applied at the country scale and aggregated at the EU scale. The results show the determined HWP contribution to biogenic CO2 emissions and removals associated with the production or the consumption of wood products both for the historical development and the future period 2024-2050, including an overview of the uncertainties due to the underlying data, the modeling framework and its assumptions. The results will serve as a basis for calibrating the HWP pool calculator to be integrated in the ForestNavigator WP6-7 policy modelling toolbox.
