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.

Biodiversity response to forest management intensity, carbon stocks and net primary production in temperate montane forests.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used data of 135 one-hectare plots from southwestern Germany to disentangle the relative influence of gradients of management intensity, carbon stocks and forest productivity on different components of forest biodiversity (birds, bats, insects, plants) and tree related microhabitats.

Prices of Raw-wood Assortments in Selected Markets of Central Europe and their Development in the Future

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the price development of timber assortments in selected countries in Central Europe, to compare the prices and identify the factors influencing the prices, and to quantify the extent of their impact on the prices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term impacts of increased timber harvests on ecosystem services and biodiversity: A scenario study based on national forest inventory data

TL;DR: In this article, a utility-based multi-criteria approach was proposed to evaluate the long-term forest management impacts and support forest policy making in defining guidelines for the sustainable provision of forests' ecosystem services and biodiversity (ESB).

Nucleotide polymorphisms associated with climate, phenology and physiological traits in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)

TL;DR: Single-nucleotide polymorphism variation in candidate genes for budburst and drought resistance in beech populations sampled across most of the distribution range, represented in an international provenance trial, found the COV gene with unambiguous signal of selection and dehydrin gene found associated with drought-related climatic variables.

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.

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.

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.
