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

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Assessing the persistence capacity of communities facing natural disturbances on the basis of species response traits
Martina Sánchez-Pinillos,Lluís Coll,Lluís Coll,Miquel De Cáceres,Aitor Ameztegui,Aitor Ameztegui +5 more
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.
