This paper showed that under forecasted changes in temperature and precipitation, there could be a decline of economically valuable species, which would lead to a loss in the value of European forest land.
Abstract
European forests are threatened by climate change with impacts on the distribution of tree species. Previous discussions on the consequences of biome shifts have concentrated only on ecological issues; however, research now shows that under forecasted changes in temperature and precipitation there could be a decline of economically valuable species, which would lead to a loss in the value of European forest land.

Identification and analysis of a transcriptome of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and population structure inference using different next-generation sequencing techniques

TL;DR: Ein Forschungsprojekt, "DougAdapt", konzipiert, das genotypische and phanotypische Unterschiede zwischen verschiedenen Provenienzen der Kusten- and Inlandsdouglasien analysieren and den Einfluss des Genotyps auf den Phanotyp untersuchen sollte.

Assessing impacts of intensified biomass removal and biodiversity protection on European forests.

TL;DR: Verkerk et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the impacts of intensified biomass removal and biodiversity protection on European forests, and showed that intensifying biomass removal could lead to a net economic benefit measured by the aggregated value of five ecosystem services, as compared to projections without measures to intensify use of forest biomass.

Asset Pricing Implications of Macroeconomic Interventions An Application to Climate Policy

TL;DR: This paper showed that the class of abatement polices considered in the integrated assessment literature are robust with respect to the choice of a discount factor if lifetime consumption equivalents are used as a metric.

Mixing beech with fir or pubescent oak does not help mitigate drought exposure at the limit of its climatic range

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of tree species interactions on the drought exposure of beech in southeastern France, and determine whether belowground water uptake complementarity underlies these effects were investigated. But the authors focused on beech-silver fir (Abies alba mill.) and beechpubescent oak (Quercus pubescens Willd.) forests across six sites in the French pre-Alps, a region at the limit of the climatic range for beech.

Climate change 2007 : impacts, adaptation and vulnerability

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a cross-chapter case study on climate change and sustainability in natural and managed systems and assess key vulnerabilities and the risk from climate change, and assess adaptation practices, options, constraints and capacity.
