“…Integration within and across sectors is required in order to deliver an increased pool and diversity of landscape values (Angelstam et al 2015). Mora et al (2013) argued that a landscape approach requires local fora for aligning ecosystem goods and services, territorial dynamics and sectorial relationships. In order to incorporate landscape planning in practice, increased knowledge sharing and interaction between actors must take place, accompanied by improved consultation processes and tools to handle the administrative, political and governance challenges.…”

As an integrated social and ecological system, the forest landscape includes multiple values. The need for a landscape approach in land use planning is being increasingly advocated in research, policy and practice. This paper explores how institutional conditions in the forest policy and management sector can be developed to meet demands for a multifunctional landscape perspective. Departing from obstacles recognised in collaborative planning literature, we build an analytical framework which is operationalised in a Swedish context at municipal level. Our case illustrating this is Vilhelmina Model Forest, where actual barriers and opportunities for a multiple-value landscape approach are identified through 32 semi-structured interviews displaying stakeholders' views on forest values, ownership rights and willingness to consider multiple values, forest policy and management premises, and collaboration. As an opportunity to overcome the barriers, we suggest and discuss three key components by which an integrated landscape planning approach could be realized in forest management planning: the need for a landscape coordinator (broker), the need for a collaborative forum (arena), and the development of the existing forest management plan into an advanced multifunctional landscape plan (tool).

“…Firstly, it is a large man-made pine forest almost entirely dedicated to intensive forestry. As such, the area is already subjected to collection of harvest residues (mainly stumps and roots, and to a lesser extent also branches and needles (Mora et al 2014;Banos and Dehez 2017)) for energy wood consumption (Augusto et al 2010(Augusto et al , 2015a, which in turn produces large amounts of wood ash (Alvarez-Alvarez et al 2018). Secondly because this forest is strongly oligotrophic (Augusto et al 2010), and particularly poor in phosphorus (Achat et al 2009), it has been diagnosed to be particularly sensitive to the potential negative consequences of intensive harvest (Durante et al 2019).…”

Background and Aims: Concerns about climate change and carbon economy have prompted the promotion of alternative energy sources, including forest-based bioenergy. An evaluation of the environmental consequences of intensive harvests (stumps and roots, and also branches and foliage) for energy wood supply, and use of wood-ash recycling as a compensatory practice, helps in the analysis of the use of forest biomass for energy production. Methods: After 11 years, we made use of records from a split-plot experimental site crossing four different intensities of Biomass Harvesting (Stem-Only Harvest [SOH], Aboveground Additional Harvest [AAH], Belowground Additional Harvest [BAH], and Whole-Tree Harvest [WTH]) and three Compensation Methods (control [C], wood ash application [A] and phosphorus fertilisation [P]) to evaluate their effects on tree growth, soil fertility, chemical properties and soil carbon. This site is located in a maritime pine forest on a poor soil, under a warm temperate climate (SW France). Key results: Despite their low additional biomass exports (+10% for AAH to +34% for WTH), the non-conventional harvest practices exported much higher quantities of nutrients than the conventional SOH technique (for example +145% for N and K in WTH). Consequently, these treatments had several effects on the soil nutritive status. Additional biomass harvests impacted the soil organic matter content, with negative effects on P-organic and soil cation exchange capacity. However, data suggested that tree growth and foliage nutrient content had not yet been significantly impacted by harvest treatments, whereas tree nutritional status was improved by P-fertiliser or wood ash. As expected, we observed a positive effect of wood ash application on soil acidity and nutrient content but, like additional harvests, wood ash application decreased the pool of soil organic carbon (~10% of the initial stock with ~7% of N-total losses). Conclusions: Overall, this factorial experiment showed that exporting more forest biomass due to the additional harvesting of tree canopies, stumps and roots had negative consequences on the ecosystem. Additional harvests have aggravated the poverty of the already oligotrophic soil, which in turn may decrease tree growth and the soil organic carbon content in the future (but without any impact on either soil acidity or on trace metal contents). Importantly, applying nutrients as fertiliser or wood ash did not compensate for the negative impact of biomass exports and the method of wood ash recycling in forests could even decrease the soil organic carbon.

“…Foresight, particularly within the European Union, is a very comprehensive and current topic at the international and regional level (Popper et al , 2007; Georghiou et al , 2008; Da Costa et al , 2008; Loveridge, 2009; Hilbert et al , 2009; Öner, 2010; Jemala, 2010; Destatte, 2010; Coates, 2010; Colwell and Narayanan, 2010; Könnölä et al , 2011; Daffara, 2011; Meissner, 2012; van Asselt et al , 2012; Calof and Smith, 2012; Cuhls et al , 2012; Ramos et al , 2012; Borch et al , 2013; Meissner et al , 2013; Prior et al , 2013; Andersen and Rasmussen, 2014; Borodako, 2014; Vecchiato and Roveda, 2014; Güell and Collado, 2014; Mora et al , 2014; Remi, 2014; Rijkens-Klomp and Van Der Duin, 2014; Keller et al , 2015; Sokolova, 2015). Over the past decades, the concept has evolved greatly and is much different from the first attempts of forecasting.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to present the changes in political and socioeconomic conditions after 25 years of transformation and how it provided to adopt new methodology in tourism planning. It shows the possibilities offered by the use of the foresight process in planning the development of tourism in Poland. Since one of the main foresight goals is to identify trends, the paper takes attempt to verify trends that occurred in Poland after 1989 and if they have now and will have in the near future influence on Polish tourism. Detailed objective is to characterize the systemic transformation and its impact on the tourism economy. Design/methodology/approach-Paper is the review, which used literature, legislation and strategic documents query. It also includes comparative analysis. Findings-The analysis of the political and economic changes that have taken place in Poland over the last 25 years shows that they were positive for the development of tourism base. The impact of globalization and global trends is now clearly noticeable also in Poland. Political and economic changes allow the use of foresight methodology in studies on the future of tourism while maintaining its main attributes: anticipation, participation, action, networking, vision. Research limitations/implications-The analysis included the impact of political changes and social trends on the tourist economy. Proposals that show the positive aspects of these changes relate to tourism and present extensive opportunities to create scenarios, both at the national and regional levels. Practical implications-The analysis forms the basis for the activities of tourism entities in Poland. It shows the characteristics for the future of the tourism market particularly the demand side. Social implications-The analysis of changes in systemic and social trends enables anticipation of changes in tourism as a social phenomenon. Originality/value-The paper presents the historical basis for the development of tourism in Poland after political changes in relation to the planning of tourism by using the methodology of foresight. It also presents these phenomena and social trends that have an impact on the development of tourism.
