Approaches

Building on prior and on-going EU projects, Reforce will 

  • map the resilience of forest productivity to climatic events and identify gradients of resilience with remote sensing WP2
  • analyze ecological mechanisms of forest resilience that can be influenced by management with mechanistic and empirical models WP3
  • evaluate approaches to managing resilience through coordinated risk management using mechanistic forest models with forests models and economic analyses WP4
  • explore decision variables of forest managers to adapt their management to foster resilience with survey in the different regions WP5
  • foster the implementation of resilience management by co-developing management alternatives with local stakeholders WP6
