Abstract

The increased harvesting of forest biomass for biofuel production in Germany could lead to trade-offs in the provision of forest ecosystem services (FES). The potential conflicts between already existing forest users and proponents of biofuels from forest biomass are insufficiently investigated. In this paper, we propose an innovative step-wise methodology for analysing the conflicts that could arise due to a foreseen increase in scarcity of various forest goods and services, as well as formulating sustainable conflict management strategies. Based on a mixed study design for triangulation, we carried out twelve expert interviews, two workshops and three focus group discussions in order to assess potential conflicts and to deepen strategies to deal with them. We found that most of our participants were against the prospect of using forest biomass for biofuel production partially due to possible negative consequences for biodiversity, climate regulation, and other FES. Study participants also asserted that there is a lack of information regarding the claimed benefits from biofuels from forest biomass. Participative processes, market-based instruments, and policy harmonization are strategies proposed to alleviate conflicts among forest users. Our insights could help the forest policy decision-making process by increasing transparency regarding possible trade-offs and strategies, which could improve sustainability in forest management.

德国森林生态系统服务可持续供应的综合冲突分析方法——以森林生物燃料生产为例
在德国,用于生物燃料生产的森林生物质采伐的增加可能导致在提供森林生态系统服务(FES)方面的权衡。现有的森林使用者和从森林生物质中提取生物燃料的支持者之间的潜在冲突没有得到充分的调查。在本文中,我们提出了一种创新的渐进式方法,用于分析由于各种森林产品和服务的可预见的稀缺性增加而可能产生的冲突,以及制定可持续的冲突管理战略。基于三角测量的混合研究设计,我们进行了12次专家访谈、2次研讨会和3次焦点小组讨论,以评估潜在冲突并深化处理冲突的策略。我们发现,大多数与会者反对利用森林生物质生产生物燃料的前景,部分原因是可能对生物多样性、气候调节和其他FES产生负面影响。研究参与者还断言,缺乏关于从森林生物质中提取生物燃料所声称的好处的信息。参与性进程、基于市场的工具和政策协调是缓解森林使用者之间冲突的建议策略。我们的见解可以通过提高可能的权衡和战略的透明度来帮助森林政策决策过程,从而提高森林管理的可持续性。

期刊介绍: Forest Policy and Economics is a leading scientific journal that publishes peer-reviewed policy and economics research relating to forests, forested landscapes, forest-related industries, and other forest-relevant land uses. It also welcomes contributions from other social sciences and humanities perspectives that make clear theoretical, conceptual and methodological contributions to the existing state-of-the-art literature on forests and related land use systems. These disciplines include, but are not limited to, sociology, anthropology, human geography, history, jurisprudence, planning, development studies, and psychology research on forests. Forest Policy and Economics is global in scope and publishes multiple article types of high scientific standard. Acceptance for publication is subject to a double-blind peer-review process.
