CLIMATE CHANGE AND EUROPEAN FORESTS

The European Forest Institute  issued a news release on  Climate change and European forests on September 8, 2014

We are happy to share this release, focused on a review paper that highlights:

• Uncertainty is inherent to climate change impact assessments.
• Extreme events are only weakly represented in many assessments.
• The range of possible impacts has so far been underestimated in most studies.
• Some general trends are common to all climate projections.
• Guidance is needed to interpret state-of-the-art knowledge and give helpful advice.

The review paper is performed by an international co-authorship :
Marcus Lindner, Joanne B. Fitzgerald, Niklaus E. Zimmermann, Christopher Reyer, Sylvain Delzon, Ernst van der Maaten, Mart-Jan Schelhaas, Petra Lasch, Jeannette Eggers, Marieke van der Maaten-Theunissen, Felicitas Suckowc, Achilleas Psomas, Benjamin Poulter, Marc Hanewinkel

Marc Hanewinkel is also Editor of Annals of Forest Science
