Bridging local decisions and regional forest strategies under climate risks: a flexibility-based optimization framework
Research paper
Key Message
Climate change narrows viable management alternatives in the Landes de Gascogne Forest. By testing a wide range of management regimes under contrasting climate and risk scenarios, we show that the capacity of timber damage varies across the landscape. Identifying where flexible, low-risk regimes can still sustain carbon sequestration helps decision-makers select robust strategies that reconcile local limits with regional planning needs.
