Abstract

The provisioning of vital forest ecosystem services is threatened by climate change. The thus required adaptation relies heavily on simulation tools for scenario analysis. To alleviate current deficiencies in simulating adaptive behavior we develop an agent-based model of forest management, and couple it with a dynamic landscape model. Using this novel tool we address questions critical for the operational implementation of adaptation, such as effectiveness, lead times, and spatial dependencies.
