Identifying decision-relevant uncertainties for dynamic adaptive forest management under climate change

Climatic Change (2020)

Naomi Radke Klaus Keller Rasoul Yousefpour Marc Hanewinkel

Abstract The decision on how to manage a forest under climate change is subject to deep and dynamic uncertainties. The classic approach to analyze this decision adopts a predefined strategy, tests its robustness to uncertainties, but neglects their dynamic nature (i.e., that decision-makers can learn and adjust the strategy). Accounting for learning through dynamic adaptive strategies (DAS) can drastically improve expected performance and robustness to deep uncertainties. The benefits of considering DAS hinge on identifying critical uncertainties and translating them to detectable signposts to signal when to change course. This study advances the DAS approach to forest management as a novel application domain by showcasing methods to identify potential signposts for adaptation on a case study of a classic European beech management strategy in South-West Germany. We analyze the strategy’s robustness to uncertainties about model forcings and parameters. We then identify uncertainties that critically impact its economic and ecological performance by confronting a forest growth model with a large sample of time-varying scenarios. The case study results illustrate the potential of designing DAS for forest management and provide insights on key uncertainties and potential signposts. Specifically, economic uncertainties are the main driver of the strategy’s robustness and impact the strategy’s performance more critically than climate uncertainty. Besides economic metrics, the forest stand’s past volume growth is a promising signpost metric. It mirrors the effect of both climatic and model parameter uncertainty. The regular forest inventory and planning cycle provides an ideal basis for adapting a strategy in response to these signposts.

Composition diversification vs. structure diversification: How to conciliate timber production and carbon sequestration objectives under drought and windstorm risks in forest ecosystems

RePEc: Research Papers in Economics (2020)

Sandrine Brèteau-Amores Rasoul Yousefpour Marc Hanewinkel Mathieu Fortin

Forests provide ecosystem services such as timber production and carbon sequestration. However, forests are sensitive to climate change, and financial and amenity losses are expected for forest owners and society, respectively. The forests in the Grand-Est region, France, are dominated by European beech, for which a decline is anticipated due to repeated drought events induced by climate change. These forest ecosystems are also threatened by windstorm events. Beech forests need to adapt and diversification can decrease drought and windstorm risks. In this context, the objective of the paper was to compare different forest adaptation strategies from an economic perspective with the objective of reducing drought- and windstorm-induced risks of dieback. For this purpose, we studied two types of diversification that we analysed separately and jointly: Mixing beech with oak and diversifying stand structure (i.e. from an even-aged to an uneven-aged forest). We also considered two types of loss (financial, and in terms of carbon sequestration) under different recurrences of drought and windstorm risks. We combined a forest growth simulator with a forest economic approach through the computation of land expectation value (LEV). Maximizing the LEV criterion made it possible to identify the best adaptation strategies in economic terms. The results show that diversification increases timber production and LEV, but reduces carbon storage. The two risks as well as the adaptation strategies show some synergies. Finally, trade-offs between the financial balance and the carbon balance (i.e. adaptation vs. mitigation) are possible.
