This report outlines the modelling framework to assess impacts of forest-based climate change mitigation pathways on forest biodiversity. It describes all included data sources, the data pre-processing, and outlines the individual modelling steps. Furthermore, it introduces the indicators used to quantify biodiversity.
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.
This report describes the data delivered in D2.1, which consists of the first installment and version 1 of the forest geodatabase. This report provides a brief summary of the data layers included in D2.1, the methods applied, existing data sources used, and data curation efforts to date. Existing and planned validation steps of the data are also briefly described.
This report presents the conceptualization of the ForestNavigator portal and its components, namely the “Data Repository”, “Model Repository” and “Computing module”. These three components (together referred to as the platform) will host the data, models, and source codes from the ForestNavigator project, as well as workflows for data processing and model deployment. This platform will allow ForestNavigator researchers and external researchers to interoperate shared data and models, to reduce modelling cycles, and to increase the outreach of the project.
This report describes the complete set of communication materials and tools for the ForestNavigator project, including the public website (V1.0). The tools will support the communication activities to raise the awareness among the general public, to reach out to the main stakeholder groups of the project and widely distribute project results to different target audiences.
Deliverable D1.1 of the Horizon Europe ForestNavigator project presents the report on stakeholder mapping and internal stakeholder database. The report describes the mapping process and outcomes as well as the dynamic internal stakeholder database. ForestNavigator identifies and maps stakeholders from the sub-national to the international scale based on a set of characteristics, such as stakeholder category, geographical scope, and sociodemographic factors. The aim of the mapping process is to provide a comprehensive and diverse stakeholder base for stakeholder engagement activities throughout the project. The report further describes the dynamic stakeholder database, which will be updated throughout the project lifetime.
