1. MOTIVE Models for Adaptive Forest Management addressing the call FP7-ENV-2008-1 and the topic ENV.2.1.6.1 Development of adaptive forest management models. MOTIVE is a large-scale integrating project (project number 226544).

2. The project  Large scale integrated project  In the 7 th Framework programme of the EU  MOTIVE investigates adaptive management strategies that address climate and land use change. It also examines the impacts of these changes with respect to a broad range of forest goods and services.  Coordinated by Forest Research Institute of Baden-Württemberg  Project Co-ordinator: Prof. Dr. Marc Hanewinkel 16.8.20152

3. Objectives To provide insights, data and tools to improve policymaking and adaptive forest resource management under climate change  Integrated assessment of forest management strategies  A comparative assessment across a wide range of climatic and socio-economic conditions  Influence of feedback loops from socio-economy and policy making on resource management  Translate scientific state of knowledge into decision support for policy makers and forest practitioners

4. Baseline trends and possible futures for the EU (WP2) Development of improved models for adaptive forest management (WP3) Testing & evaluating management options and risks (WP4) Evaluating and selecting good adaptive forest management strategies (WP5) Improved decision support in adaptive forest management (WP6) datamethods Scientific work packages

5. Coordination (WP1) Project implementation Case studies Two cases per each of five bioclimatic zones and one for the EU Trends (WP2) Models (WP3) Options and risks (WP4) Strategies (WP5) Decision support (WP6) Communi cation (WP7)

7. Case study information 1/3 RegionThe main risksGoods and servicesAdaptation options North Boreal North Karelian, Finland wind and snow timber biomass for energy - species preference - type and intensity of thinning - rotation length South Boreal Kronoberg, Sweden wind timber nature conservation - rotation length - use of deciduous tree species Temperate Atlantic Wales, UK wind pest outbreaks timber recreation - low-impact silvicultural systems - tree mixtures Northern Plain Atlantic SE Veluwe, Netherlands drought fire timber nature conservation - different tree species - dense forest

8. Case study information 2/3 RegionThe main risksGoods and servicesAdaptation options Central Temperate Black Forest, Germany pest outbreaks wind drought timber biomass for energy recreation - shift of species - close to nature management Central Alpine Montafon Valley, Austria wind pest outbreaks timber biomass for energy carbon nature conservation recreation - shift of species - silvicultural regimes Mediterranean Prades, Spain drought fire water protection nature conservation recreation, timber - forest fire prevention - thinning alternatives Mediterranean Atlantic Chamusca, Portugal drought fire water protection timber - management alternatives

9. Case study information 3/3 RegionThe main risksGoods and servicesAdaptation options Continental Mediterranean Panagyurishte, Bulgaria drought fire timber biomass for energy water protection recreation - transformation from coppice stands into high stands - species control Continental mountainous Carpathians, Romania drought pest outbreaks timber biomass for energy carbon - thinning intensity - rotation length Europeandrought wind fire pest outbreaks timber biomass for energy carbon nature conservation - introducing new species - adapt the forest management aims
