“…The concurrent analyses of energy biomass, timber and carbon stocks showed that an increase in these parameters was possible during the second period , in which they increased with increased basal area thinning thresholds. In the case of timber and carbon, this is in good agreement with the findings of Briceño-Elizondo et al (2006), Garcia-Gonzalo et al (2007), and Thornley and Cannell (2000), who concluded that management with higher tree stocking, but also with continuous canopy cover and fewer disturbances throughout the rotation could give maximum production of timber and carbon stocks. How-────────────────────────── ever, Seely et al (2002) suggested a trade-off between ecosystem carbon storage capacity and timber production, which was found also in this study during the first and last periods.…”

“…Climate change enhanced stocks more in the north than the south. The results indicated that carbon sequestration in the ecosystem may be enhanced with no loss in timber production (Briceño-Elizondo et al 2006a). According to Briceño-Elizondo et al (2006b), thinning regimes that increased mean stocking over the rotation all increased total growth and timber yield, regardless of tree species and site.…”

Climate change affects the vulnerability and productivity of forestry and agricultural systems, predominantly by changes in precipitation and temperature patterns. Indirect impacts are altered risk of damage, for example, by longer periods of drought stress and other biotic and abiotic disturbances. While southern and eastern parts of the Baltic Sea basin are likely to experience a net impact of climate change that is negative for production, northern and western regions are likely to experience a general increase in production. As a result, land-use potentials will change and will foster adaptation and mitigation measures. In the northern region, forest management adaptation may lead to substantial yield increases, while in the south management, adaptation may be required to counter deteriorating conditions. Comparable conclusions can be drawn for agricultural management: if adaptation potentials are fully exploited, substantial yield increases can be expected for certain crop species. In the southern areas and for certain species, deteriorating conditions and possibly increasing climatic variability are projected. Both climate change impacts and human responses will affect socio-economic conditions in the Baltic Sea basin.

“…Jedoch müssen Auswahl und Mischung der Baumarten regional betrachtet werden. Standortbedingungen, der projizierte regionale Klimawandel und die Reaktion der einzelnen Arten darauf müssen berücksichtigt werden (Temperli et al 2012 (Alam et al 2008;Garcia-Gonzalo et al 2007;Briceño-Elizondo et al 2006). Da Anpassungsplanungen im forstlichen Bereich langfristige Konsequenzen haben, ist eine fortlaufende, kritische Überprüfung der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse auf der Grundlage neuer Ergebnisse der Klimaforschung mit mehreren und neueren Modell-und Szenarienensembles unabdingbar (Krug et al 2010a).…”
