TLDR
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.read more

Trade-offs between economic gains and ecological functions following forest management alternatives in boreal forests
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the state of the art in economic and ecological trade-off studies in the field of boreal forests, and discuss the need for additional ecological functions and ecosystem services.

Design and Implementation of Environmental Information Systems - Three case studies for managing climate and land-use change in Forestry and Agriculture
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the integration and implementation of three different types of Informationsystem, i.e., Expertensystem, Management Informationssystem, Entscheidungsunterstutzungssystem, and Kollaborations System.

Mixed effects of climate variation on the scots pine forests: Age and species mixture matter
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the first nation-wide network of 34 Scots pine chronologies of basal area increment (BAI), and assess the species' vulnerability to climate change, finding that negative growth anomalies after hot and dry August conditions are most severe in young ( 70% dominance) at lower elevations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change-induced background tree mortality is exacerbated towards the warm limits of the species ranges
TL;DR: In this article , an influence of the recent changes in temperature or rainfall was demonstrated, increasing background tree mortality rates for 2/3 of the 12 studied tree species, suggesting in these areas a progressive replacement by more xeric species.
What Is Known About the Management of European Beech Forests Facing Climate Change? A Review
Serena Antonucci,Giovanni Santopuoli,Marco Marchetti,Roberto Tognetti,Ugo Chiavetta,Vittorio Garfì +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors retrace the most significant management strategies adopted across European beech forests over the last 25 years, highlighting those that are most efficient and promising, and investigate five main topics including forest management, forest models, species mixture, genetic, and regeneration.

Book
Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors set the stage for impact, adaptation, and vulnerability assessment of climate change in the context of sustainable development and equity, and developed and applied scenarios in Climate Change Impact, Adaptation, and Vulnerability Assessment.
Book
The Economics of Climate Change: The Stern Review
TL;DR: The Stern Review as discussed by the authors is an independent, rigourous and comprehensive analysis of the economic aspects of this crucial issue, conducted by Sir Nicholas Stern, Head of the UK Government Economic Service, and a former Chief Economist of the World Bank.

TL;DR: A review of the ecological impacts of recent climate change exposes a coherent pattern of ecological change across systems, from polar terrestrial to tropical marine environments.
Book
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.
