PDFD4.5 Refined simulation results and quantified indicators of ecosystem services
 
PDFD5.4 A report on stakeholder approaches to and views on ways and options for handling uncertainty and change
 
PDFD 5.1. A review report on decision making under uncertainty and risk in forestry
MOTIVE is to provide a better understanding and modelling approach to handle the complex decision problems that climate change implies for forest owners and managers. Modelling approaches that capture the likely benefit of adaptive management strategies are required, both because of the uncertainty augmented by climate change but also because of the certainty that as time passes and climate changes new and better information becomes available. The current review (i) provides a review of state-of-the-art methods for optimal decision making under risk and uncertainty in forestry, (ii) develops further these methods for the use in AFM (cf. e.g. Jacobsen et al. 2010). The motivation of the review is the above observation that decision making under uncertainty is a large and productive cross-disciplinary research field. Finally, we conclude the deliverable with a discussion of this literature, which approaches and developments may hold most promise for the different challenges in the MOTIVE project and which parts of the research agenda will need more work by MOTIVE partners and others to secure significant advancements in the understanding of the potential for adaptive forest management and decision support tools to cope with the aspects of climate change.
 
PDFD5.2/D5.3New methods for handling uncertainty, risk and spatial relations in AFM decision making with applications to case studies

PDFD6.1/6.4 Conceptual model of the decision making process in the AFM ToolBox
 
PDFD6.5/D6.6 System architecture of AFM ToolBox, technical specification and prototype 1.0
The system architecture of the MOTIVE AFM ToolBox comprising of the major tool box components, their formal design and implementation as software modules is introduced. The MOTIVE AFM ToolBox is implemented as a combination of web based and native applications was chosen (hybrid approach). The tools in the ToolBox as well as the ToolBox itself are designed as web applications. This allows for tool developers a straightforward technical integration of different tools into the ToolBox, and for users a simple access to the functionalities of the ToolBox on a web server. For advanced users the local installation of the entire AFM ToolBox within its web frame is possible. Technically, the tools and the ToolBox are web applications and can be accessed and operated with a web browser. Own simulation results can be used by either uploading the data to the central MOTIVE server, or by using a local installation of the whole ToolBox. Major components of the ToolBox are the MOTIVE DataBase, the MOTIVE DataClient to transfer model otput produced externally to the ToolBox into the DataBase, the MOTIVE Vulnerability Assessment tool, the MOTIVE Optimizer and the MOTIVE Tree Species Suitability Rating tool as well as a set of support functionalities. In the Prototype 1.0 version the Tool Integration framework (i.e. the actual “tool box”), the DataClient and dataBase as well as the Vulnerability Assessment tool are implemented. An example application of the ToolBox is demonstrated with screen shots. It covers the main steps of tool selection, the production of own simulation data and the application of a tool from the ToolBox. The prototype 1.0 is accessible as demo version.

PDFD7.1 Stakeholder and Decision-Maker Interactions: Annual stakeholder report
 
PDFD7.1 Stakeholder and Decision-Maker Interactions: 2nd periodic stakeholder report
One of the key outputs of MOTIVE will be an Adaptive Management Toolbox (AFM), which depends on the participation of multiple stakeholders. Stakeholder engagement will be particularly focussed at the case study level to encourage collaboration in the design and testing of AFM tools but also to ensure that these tools are compatible with decision-making processes in forestry sectors across Europe. This report provides background information for each of the case studies including ownership and management structures and main users/uses of the forests under study. It also includes a stakeholder analysis and engagement plan for each case study, which will be continually updated as the project progresses. The current update includes all activities until project month 30.
 
PDFD7.2/7.3 Overall dissemination plan/Project web pages
The MOTIVE Communication Plan aims to ensure that the project creates awareness and maximises the visibility of the project, its objectives, activities and results throughout Europe. It also aims to ensure that the project identifies the relevant target audiences and addresses them with suitable methods and contents. Regarding the regional case studies, the aim is to secure a wide participation of different stakeholder groups. Since project website is one of the central channels for communication the documentation of the website development (D7.3) was combined with the presentation of the communication plan (D7.2). In the third chapter of the deliverable report the communication activities by October 2011 are presented.
 
PDFD7.5 Organisation of thematic workshops
MOTIVE organises a number of meetings, workshops and interviews to engage with stakeholders and disseminate project results. The interaction with the stakeholders happens in ten case study regions. In the beginning of the project interviews and meetings with local stakeholder groups across the case studies have focussed on introducing the project, its objectives and possible outputs. In the later stage climate change awareness, observations, expectations and adaptation among the stakeholders were found out in interaction with the stakeholders. The preliminary results of the project have been presented in meetings and workshops to the stakeholders. The reported activities were organised during May 2009-October 2011.
 
PDFD7.4 Compilation of targeted dissemination materials_update after period 2
This deliverable report documents dissemination materials prepared in the MOTIVE project during the first (May 2009-May 2010) and the second reporting periods (May 2010-October 2011). The materials include general project presentations including e.g. logo, posters, factsheets, updated general presentation and more targeted dissemination products including scientific publications, a policy brief and presentations for specific end users.
