WP2 (Quantification and assessment of ecosystem services)

The objective of WP2 is (1) to adjust and further develop (if required) state-of-the-art models for the projection of forest dynamics and the assessment of ES, and (2) to apply these tools to simulate past, current and future forest development and related ES. Based on simulated trajectories of ES, the relationships among ES at different spatial scales will be analysed in WP5. For specified portfolios of ES, improved stand management concepts will be identified at the case study level utilizing, among others, information from the stakeholder dialogue (via WP6), optimized management approaches (via WP4) and feedback from WP5 (integration and synthesis).
