Different temporal patterns of ecosystem responses to climate change. Pathway 1: linear response; 2: response with lag effect; 3: acclimatization; 4: overshoot; 5: homeoestasis; 6: tipping point (after Rustad 2006) Full size image 1.3 Need for adaptation and fundamental adaptation strategies The...
Focusing on adaptation to climate change in forestry, this study uses the example of two countries in the northern hemisphere with different forest ownership structures, forestry industry and traditions: Sweden, with strong private, non-industrial ownership, dominant forest industry and long forestry ...
Climate change is likely to cause significant modifications in forests. Rising to this challenge may require adaptation of forest management, and therefore should trigger proactive measures by forest managers, but it is unclear to what extent this is already happening. Methods The survey carried out ...
The forestry community needs to evaluate the long-term effects of climate change on forests and determine what the community might do now and in the future to respond to this threat. Management can influence the timing and direction of forest adaptation at selected locations, but in many ...
Adaptation of forest management to climate change requires an understanding of the effects of climate on forests, industries and communities; prediction of how these effects might change over time; and incorporation of this knowledge into management decisions. This requires multiple forms of knowledge an...
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a framework for estimating the costs of adaptation to climate change impacts on ecosystems.Design/methodology/approach – While existing studies on costing adaptation base themselves on either the financial flows on conservation or the costs of ...
Forest-based livelihoods are ruthlessly affected by climate change and other non-climatic stressors. Forests as one of the precious natural assets available in the Chitwan Annapurna area is an appropriate sector to address community and ecosystem vulnerability through adaptation works like plantation, ...
the information from European forest research/monitoring networks; the development of a new concept of forest sites for research and monitoring (Supersites); the identification of the main knowledge gaps; and the definition of priorities for forest adaptation to climate change in a polluted ...
Global responses are in the process of being implemented to (i) reduce the causes of climate change (mitigation) and (ii) to increase the ability of natural systems and human societies to cope with the impacts of climate change (adaptation). An international conference on "Adaptation of ...
