Alternative models and robust decision-making for future forest management (ALTERFOR)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2020,

European forests are expected to provide a broad range of ecosystem services (ES). This capacity is however threatened by the uncertainties of climate change, the complex dynamics of evolving global markets and the pressures for increased use of bioenergy. Such challenges cannot be effectively addressed with an uncritical regional or national commitment to traditional forest management models (FMM ...

...en areas, being unfenced, suffered from ever-increasing grazing pressures. The result has been an extensive degradation and desiccation of the habitat. The tide however, recently began to turn. Coillte Teoranta (the Irish Forestry Board) for instance, set aside 15% of its landholding for biodiversity. This created a unique opportunity to reverse past damages and begin to restore key afforested bog ...
