Careers in Sustainability Excellence (CASTLE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
Implementing the EU vision of a Green Economy will cause rapid changes to the forest-based and bio-energy sectors. Growing bioenergy demands change land use and cause intensified resource utilisation in agriculture and forestry. Sustainable development targets in production and consumption of biomass and wood products have stimulated wider adoption of sustainability assessment methods in policy an ...

Functional significance of forest biodiversity in Europe (FunDivEUROPE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
FunDivEUROPE (FUNctional significance of forest bioDIVersity in EUROPE) proposes to quantify the effects of forest biodiversity on ecosystem function and services in major European forest types in the main bioclimatic regions of Europe. FunDivEUROPE will be based on four scientific platforms and seven cross-cutting Work Packages.The project will combine a global network of tree diversity experimen ...

Models for Adaptive Forest Management (MOTIVE)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
"The project MOdels for AdapTIVE forest Management (MOTIVE) will evaluate the consequences of the intensified competition for forest resources given climate and land use change. The project focuses on a wide range of European forest types under different intensities of forest management. In particular, MOTIVE examines impacts with respect to the disturbance regimes determining forest dynamics. MOT ...

Flexible Wood Supply Chain (FlexWood)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
A number of studies indicate that the market demand for wood will lead to strong competition between the different wood industry branches. This is especially true in view of a globalised wood market, in which production is characterised by fast structural changes and concentration processes. Competition between different wood industries and the development towards large production units, as well a ...

A framework for individual-based forest landscape modeling under changing climate and disturbance regimes (iLAND)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
Climate change is a major challenge for sustainable forest management. Impacts on the disturbance regime are particularly relevant in this regard. In a sound science-based sustainable forest management/ ecosystem management approach (SFEM) potential changes in climate and disturbance regimes need to be considered explicitly. Disturbance dynamics, however, are still poorly understood especially in ...
