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.

Converting probabilistic tree species range shift projections into meaningful classes for management.

TL;DR: An algorithm that classifies the output of a range shift model for major tree species in Europe into multiple classes that can be linked to qualities characterizing the ecological niche of the species is presented.

Exploring the use of a dialogue process to tackle a complex and controversial issue in forest management

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the use of a dialogue process to approach complex issues related to forest management, and set up an experimental dialogue process concerning the problems of forest management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing the persistence capacity of communities facing natural disturbances on the basis of species response traits

TL;DR: The Persistence Index can be applied to a broad spectrum of communities subjected to different types of stressors, making it a useful tool to guide ecosystem management decisions in a context of changing climate and uncertain disturbance regimes.

Drought reduces water uptake in beech from the drying topsoil, but no compensatory uptake occurs from deeper soil layers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied an in-situ water isotopologue monitoring system to determine the oxygen isotope composition in soil and xylem water of European beech with a 2-h resolution together with measurements of soil water content, transpiration and tree water deficit.

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.

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.
