Innovative forest management strategies for a resilient bioeconomy under climate change and disturbances (I-MAESTRO) improves the scientific basis for developing management strategies that increase resilience for future natural disturbances and climate change, while maintaining a high level of wood production, carbon storage, and habitat quality for biodiversity.
Models
Impacts of disturbances, management and climate change scenarios on ecosystem services based on forest models
Case studies
Three landscape case study areas, each several thousand hectares large, have been selected in France (Bauges), Slovenia (Sneznik) and Poland (Milicz)
Disturbances DB
The data will be stored in a common database for all modellers to guarantee that models use similar input data and are tested against a common database
