Climate change and forest management are recognized as pivotal factors influencing ecosystem services thus multifunctionality. However, the magnitude relative importance of climate effects on multifunctionality remain unclear, especially for natural mixed forests. In this study, our objective is to address gap by utilizing simulations climate-sensitive transition matrix growth models based national inventory plot data. We evaluated seven scenarios (combinations various cutting methods intensities) future provision in conifer-broad-leaved forests northeastern China, under four (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP5-8.5, constant climate). Provisioning, regulating, cultural, supporting were described timber production, carbon storage, sequestration, tree species diversity, deadwood volume, number large living trees. Our findings indicated that production was significantly influenced scenarios, while trees impacted both separately. Carbon storage sequestration notably interaction management. These emphasized profound impact services, outweighing alone. found no single scenario maximized all six service indicators. The upper story thinning 5% intensity with 5-year interval (UST5) strategy emerged highest multifunctionality, surpassing lowest values more than 20% across scenarios. conclusion, results underlined potential a decision support tool provided recommendations long-term strategies multifunctional context. Ecosystem could be enhanced implementing appropriate measures amidst changing climate.

Abstract Relational values feature prominently in recent international efforts to protect global biodiversity. In this article, we provide a conceptual approach for researchers, facilitators and policy‐makers adequately represent place‐based relational assessments of nature's value that inform practice policy. We suggest employing horizontal portability as an alternative complement the dominant mode assessing via vertical subsumption. Vertical subsumption is process through which particular are generalised into overarching categories conform more general concepts thereby stripped their place‐specific meanings. contrast, introduced here maintains contextual rootedness local expressions while also communicating them across places, knowledge systems, communities. The movement (i.e. ‘porting’) ‘horizontal’ because it allows rooted biocultural context speak different contexts on equal terms. discuss how research nature people –nature relationships can support portability.

Land-use policies aim at enhancing the sustainable use of natural resources. The Triad approach has been suggested to balance social, ecological, and economic demands forested landscapes. core idea is enhance multifunctionality landscape level by allocating zones with specific management priorities, i.e., production (intensive management), multiple (extensive conservation (forest reserves). We tested efficiency identified respective proportion above-mentioned needed in Finnish forest Through a simulation optimization framework, we explored range scenarios three evaluated how changing their relative (each ranging from 0 100%) impacted multifunctionality, measured various biodiversity ecosystem service indicators. results show that maximizing required around 20% area managed intensively, 50% extensively, 30% allocated reserves. In our case studies, such zoning represented good compromise between studied components maintained 61% maximum achievable net present value (i.e., total timber value). Allocating zone had distinctive effects on optimized or values. Net was only moderately shifting intensive extensive management, while benefited less more diverse regimes. This first study apply European boreal landscape, highlighting usefulness this approach. Our potential promoting as well strong trade-off multifunctionality. conclude simply applying does not implicitly contribute an overall increase careful planning still requires clear objectives.

In this study, we analyze empirical data from a collaborative process with local forest stakeholders Sweden through the lens individual, collective, interior, exterior dimensions. We show participants’ understanding about forests climate change presents nuanced picture how acting connected. Meaning-making, cultural frames, techno-scientific conceptions converge, interact, and, at times, replace or diminish each other. The connection interplay these dimensions, suggest, can be understood spectrum. These insights into integrated knowledge, based an case, must addressed production both grasp issues face us support action response them.
