Abstract:
Climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies (CCAMS) are changes to the management of production forests motivated by the need to mitigate climate change, or adapt production forests to climate change risks. Sweden is employing CCAMS with unclear implications for biodiversity and forest ecosystem services (ES). Here, we synthesized evidence from 51 published scientific reviews, to evaluate the potential implications for biodiversity and a range of provisioning, regulating, and cultural ES, from the adoption of CCAMS relative to standard forestry practice. The CCAMS assessed were the adoption of (i) mixed-species stands, (ii) continuous cover forestry, (iii) altered rotation lengths, (iv) conversion to introduced tree species, (v) logging residue extraction, (vi) stand fertilization, and (vii) altered ditching/draining practices. We highlight the complexity of biodiversity and ES outcomes, identify knowledge gaps, and emphasize the importance of evidence-based decision making and landscape-scale planning when navigating choices involving the widespread adoption of CCAMS.
摘要:
气候变化适应和缓解战略(CCAMS)是由于需要缓解气候变化而对生产林管理的变化,或使生产森林适应气候变化的风险。瑞典正在使用CCAMS,对生物多样性和森林生态系统服务(ES)的影响尚不清楚。这里,我们从51篇发表的科学评论中综合了证据,评估对生物多样性和一系列供应的潜在影响,调节,文化ES,从采用CCAMS到标准林业实践。评估的CCAMS是采用(i)混合物种林,(ii)连续覆盖林业,(iii)改变旋转长度,(iv)转变为引进的树种,(v)测井残留物提取,(vi)站施肥,和(vii)改变沟渠/排水做法。我们强调了生物多样性和ES结果的复杂性,确定知识差距,并强调在进行涉及广泛采用CCAMS的选择时,基于证据的决策和景观规模规划的重要性。
