“…The assumption is that natural ecosystem dynamics will exert a dynamic self-regulation of the ecosystem in the face of climate change. This view is increasingly taken by private owners of small forest properties that are intermittently managed by non-experts (Mostegl et al 2019;Weiss et al 2019). Active adaptation entails the use of silvicultural methods (e.g., tending, thinning, stand conversion, tree species enrichment) to change stand structures and tree species composition in ways that make the resulting forest better adapted to the climate that will exist during the life of the stand (Bolte et al 2009;Millar et al 2007).…”

& Key message Climate change is posing a considerable challenge to foresters. The intensity of required adaptive measures and the relevance of old-growth forests as benchmark for managed forests are debated. Forest managers need to make decisions on stand treatment that are based on climatological and biological parameters with high uncertainties. We provided the conceptual basis for adaptive forest management and provide a number of case studies that reflect the options and limitations of ways of coping with climate change. The examples are derived from the experience of the authors. We conclude that only few forest types are either not strongly affected by climate change or do not require immediate adaptations of forest management. Many productive forests have stand properties that are decisively shaped by past management decisions, such as tree species composition, age distribution, rotation period, and stand structure. Maintaining these properties under the influence of climate change requires continuous and even increasing efforts of forest managers.

“…Climate change influences not only the environmental functions of the forest but also the economic systems that have been relied on in the past (Tol 2018). Thus, it is important to continue to study how smallscale forest owners are being impacted by climate change effects, how they are reacting to these impacts, and how outreach and other activities can help the owners and the forests (Laakkonen et al 2018;Hengst-Ehrhar 2019;Mostegl et al 2019).…”

“…To raise awareness of climate change risk and adaptation measures, extension service providers in the forest sector are increasingly using communication interventions (Bowers et al, 2016;Krantz et al, 2013). These interventions usually involve tailor-made advice and educational support for forest owners (Mostegl et al 2019) (Bohensky et al 2016). This study is based on insights from risk psychology (Swim et al 2009).…”
