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.

Sectoral policies as drivers of forest management and ecosystems services: A case study in Bavaria, Germany

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the coherence among three national policies from Germany and their ability to effectively provide FES in the future: the Forest Strategy 2020 (FS), the National Strategy on Biological Diversity (BDS), and the German National Policy Strategy on Bioeconomy (BES).

Climate targets in European timber-producing countries conflict with goals on forest ecosystem services and biodiversity

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the consequences of increased harvest demands resulting from EU climate targets, and analyzed the impacts on national policy objectives for forest ecosystem services and biodiversity through empirical forest simulation and multi-objective optimization methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling of logging industry dynamics under the global climate change:the evidence from siberian regions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of global climate change on Russian forestry and found that one of the direct impacts is shortening of winter logging season duration, which may result in decreasing wood harvests.

Should Faustmann forecast climate change

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that an owner following a rule of thumb - ignoring future changes and only observing changes as they come -will closely approximate optimal management, if changes are observed without too much delay, profit losses and errors in harvesting are negligible.
