Abstract
Abstract Scenarios based on contrasting storylines can be used as a tool to explore the different ways in which the future may develop and their impacts on the sustainability of European forestry. These scenarios are neither predictions nor forecasts, but are used to create a consistent image of a future, and to help decision makers and other actors in making well informed choices. Each storyline assumes a distinctly different direction for future developments. Here we discuss characteristics of scenario studies forest large scale forest resources in general and focus on a few recent trends and their long term impact on European forests, as e.g. nature oriented management, carbon credits, and extra demand for bioenergy.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Landscape Ecology is a fully reviewed scientific journal published by Czech National Chapter of the Association for Landscape Ecology (CZ-IALE). Our international editorial board has ambition to fill up a gap in the ecological field scope covered by the European scientific journals and mainly those among them which are produced in the Czech Republic. Subjects of papers are not limited teritorially, however, emphasis is given to the Middle-European landscape-ecological themes. The journal is not preferentially theoretical or applied, it is prepared to serve as a bridge between both levels of knowledge. The effort will be developed to increase gradually its quality level and to reach for acceptation by databases of scientific journals with IF. The first issue of JLE was published in 2008. Recently, three issues of JLE are published per year.
