Anthropogene Klimaveränderung, Sukzessionsprozesse und forstwirtschaftliche Optionen | Anthropogenic Climate Change, Successional Processes and Forest Management Options

Abstract

Anthropogenic changes of the climate have the potential to significantly affect forests in the coming century. In this paper, methods for assessing the impacts of such changes are reviewed, and mathematical models are used to evaluate possible changes of the tree species composition and biomass storage of Swiss forests. The simulation results are discussed from an ecological as well as from a forestry perspective.
