T1.8 Complex forests: Understanding and management of multiple species,
structures and ecosystem services.
Forestry faces important challenges in the decades ahead. The quick global
change affecting the climate system, economy and biodiversity has put
forests in the front line of mitigation and adaptation policies across the
world with different approaches. In temperate regions forest researchers and
practitioners have already understood that more structurally and
compositional diverse forest stands are essential to meet climate and
bioeconomy targets.
This session will present current knowledge on complex forest structures
research and practice. It will cover silvicultural and ecological aspects of
multiple species and multi-aged stands dynamics as well as the consequences
of increasing complexity for forest functioning, ecosystem services
provision and biodiversity conservation. The session will also deal with
measuring and modelling challenges that foresters and researchers are
currently confronting. A final discussion among moderators, presenters and
public will summarize the future of complex forest structures within the
forestry discipline and their benefits for the bioeconomy.
Presentations for oral contributions and posters are welcome on the
following topics:
(i) Multiple species silviculture; (ii) Multi-aged structure silviculture;
(iii) Functions, services and biodiversity and (iv) Measuring and Modelling
the forest complexity.
The session is organized by the following IUFRO research groups RG1.09
Ecology and silviculture of mixed forests, RG1.05.00 - Uneven-aged
silviculture; and units 1.01.06 - Ecology and silviculture of oak; 1.01.07 -
Ecology and silviculture of beech; 1.01.09 - Ecology and silviculture of
fir; 4.01.02 Growth models for tree and stand simulation; 8.01.01 Old
growth forests and forest reserves.
