Seminar
Overall conclusion:
It is very much possible to implement storm adaptation into management and planning processes, starting already at the germination stage. The awareness about storm as a manageable risk and profiding of information needs to increase.
Land owners are asking for hands on tools adapted to their own forest that can give an answer on questions like: What happens if I do this in my forest? and What happens if my neighbour does that in his/her forest?
Models can help us further to define vulnerable stands, testing management measures without having to wait 100 years, show us the future.
Within the Stormrisk project a large amount of tools and possibilities have been developed, which are meant to reach out to the forest owners and other practitioners.
Here are the speakers and links to their presentations.
