Models for Adaptive Forest Management

MOTIVE developes and evaluates strategies for forest resource management as affected by changing landuse and global climate change under multiple objective management. The project covers major biogeographical regions of Europe via a series of case studies representing different ecological and socioeconomic environments. Particular attention is paid to disturbance regimes and how these may change under changing climate and adaptive management. Key target of MOTIVE is to create new know how, data and models for improved decision making under conditions of climate change. Enduser of MOTIVE output are policy makers as wellas strategic and operational forest resource managers. Main deliverable of MOTIVE is a decision support tool box to support forest management planning.
