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

Extreme summer heat and drought lead to early fruit abortion in European beech.
Anita Nussbaumer,Anita Nussbaumer,Katrin Meusburger,Maria Schmitt,Peter Waldner,Regula Gehrig,Matthias Haeni,Andreas Rigling,Andreas Rigling,Ivano Brunner,Anne Thimonier +10 more
TL;DR: An in-depth analysis of three forest sites of European beech from the Swiss Long-Term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme over the last 15–19 years revealed for the first time that extreme summer heat and drought can act as an “environmental veto”, leading to early fruit abortion.

An actuarial model of forest insurance against multiple natural hazards in fir (Abies Alba Mill.) stands in Slovakia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an actuarial insurance model to insure multiple natural hazards (windthrow, fire, insect outbreak) in forests that determine the insurance premium in different senarios.

Climate Warming and Drought in the Bialowieza Forest from 1950–2015 and Their Impact on the Dieback of Norway Spruce Stands
TL;DR: In this article, changes in air temperature were presented and drought indices were calculated as follows: standardized precipitation index, Palmer drought severity index, climatic water balance and soil water storage deficit.

Segregated versus integrated biodiversity conservation: value-based ecosystem service assessment under varying forest management strategies in a Swiss case study
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of a Swiss forest enterprise with five management strategies, namely, business as usual (BAU), integrated (BC-seg), intensive management (INTENS), no management (NO), and business-as-usual (BAS), is presented.
