PDFRisk Management in British forestry with special emphasis on Picea sitchensis, Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris and Quercus spp.
In the course of climate change it is getting more and more important to develop strategies to adapt Europe's forests for the prevention of heavy damages. For this, research was intensified during the last years. The aim of this scientific work is to find the most suitable Forest Management Alternative (FMA) for British forests, considering Close-to-nature forestry, Combined-objective forestry, Intensive-even aged forestry and Wood-biomass production. The purpose is to minimize the risk of disturbances, namely wind, fire, deer, Hylobius abietis, Elatobium abietinum, colytidae, Heterobasidion annosum, Armillaria spp. and Dotistroma septosporum, to four of Britain’s main tree species: Picea sitchensis, Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris and Quercus spp. A Multi-Criteria-Risk-Analysis (MCRA) was performed for each country of Great Britain (Wales, Scotland and England). This MCRA is part of a European project, called “MOdels for adapTIVE forest management” (MOTIVE Commission 2009). Additionally, a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) was conducted to get an idea about the value of different forest types. To perform the MCRA it was necessary to collect information about the main disturbances of each considered tree species. This information contains their occurrence, level of damage, development under a certain management strategy and how they will react under a changing climate. Collected data were organised in spreadsheets. The interpretation was done with a decision support tool, called Decision Lab (Visual Decision Inc. 1999). For the CBA, only already existing data was used. It was collected from different sources and standardized with the capitalized value, containing a discount rate 1% and 3.5% for two separate presumptions about how natural resources like forests should be discounted. For all considered species in each country of Great Britain, the MCRA indicates that Close-to-nature forestry is the best alternative to prevent risks. As the findings of the MCRA are very general and the interpretation of the results needs to be done carefully, Close-to-nature forestry should not generally be seen as the less risky management system. For example, the wind exposed sites of the Scottish Highlands, especially if spruces are planted, need to be managed with a system that implies shorter rotations to minimize the risk. Regarding only the monetary values of the costs and benefits, Intensive-even aged forestry is more favourable considering a discount rate of 1%. With 3.5% Close-tonature is on the top rank, mainly because of its low establishment costs. By taking the non-market values like recreation into account, the outcome supports Close-to-nature forestry for both discount rates.

MS WordCase Study Questionnaire for MCRA
A questionnaire for use in assessing the consequences of management action on hazard impact. This is needed as part of the MCRA in each Case Stusy Area. It probably needs translation into different languages for use with stakeholders.		 98KB04.02.2011Barry GardinerWP4_documents

PDFReport On Abiotic and Biotic Risks: Case Study Areas: Deliverable 4.1
This report first provides an overview and description of the key abiotic and biotic hazards affecting European forests. We then discuss the particular hazards affecting each case study area with a description of the nature of the hazard, the impact of the hazard and how these hazards are managed. Accompanying the discussion is a table of the main hazards affecting the key tree species in each case study area, which outlines the beneficial or detrimental response of the hazard to different site and silvicultural factors, and the economic, environmental and social impacts of the hazard on the forest. In addition, there is a list of any modelling tools that are available to evaluate the risk from each hazard.		 2.68MB08.04.2011Barry GardinerWP4_documents
