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

Tree-Ring Growth of Larch (Larix decidua Mill.) in the Polish Sudetes—The Influence of Altitude and Site-Related Factors on the Climate–Growth Relationship
TL;DR: The obtained results indicate the relatively high diversity of the climatic signal observed in the tree rings of larches growing in the Sudetes, and the most significant differentiating factor is altitude.

Hans Petersson,David Ellison,Alex Appiah Mensah,Göran Berndes,Gustaf Egnell,Mattias Lundblad,Tomas Lundmark,Anders Lundström,Johan Stendahl,Per Erik Wikberg +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the short and long-term consequences for atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations of forest management strategies and forest product uses in Sweden by comparing the modelled consequences of forest resource use vs. increased conservation at different levels of GHG savings from carbon sequestration and product substitution with bioenergy and other forest products.

Evaluating the risks in the construction wood product system through a criticality assessment framework
Dimitra Ioannidou,Dimitra Ioannidou,Régis Pommier,Guillaume Habert,Guido Sonnemann,Guido Sonnemann +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a criticality framework for wood to assess the risk of supply shortage of different wood species in different regions, such as fire and diseases, trade barriers and country governance, as well as the impacts of the aforementioned factors on the construction wood product system.

Admixing Fir to European Beech Forests Improves the Soil Greenhouse Gas Balance
Stephanie Rehschuh,Martin Fuchs,Javier Tejedor,Anja Schäfler-Schmid,Ruth-Kristina Magh,Tim Burzlaff,Heinz Rennenberg,Michael Dannenmann +7 more
TL;DR: In view of the positive impact of increased SOC stocks on key soil functions such as water and nutrient retention, admixing fir to beech stand appears to be a suitable measure to mitigate climate change stresses on European beech stands.
