在气候扰动加剧的背景下，增强森林恢复力和森林管理的必要性日益紧迫。在森林管理中，不同需求之间以及跨时空尺度之间存在多种权衡。然而，目前缺乏考虑这些权衡的弹性评估方法。在这里，我们提出了一个由原则、标准和指标组成的分层框架，通过关注复原力背后的机制来评估社会生态系统的复原力。这种层次框架平衡了机制、社会生态系统不同部分、生态系统服务以及空间和时间尺度之间的权衡。该框架旨在以参与方式用于森林管理规划。它考虑了与森林相关的社会生态系统的主要部分，并考虑了涉及的多重权衡。我们通过将其应用于中欧以挪威云杉（Picea abies(L.) Karst.）为主的景观来展示该框架的实用性，并针对三个不同的管理目标进行管理。该框架强调了森林复原力如何随所追求的管理目标和相关管理战略的变化而变化。该框架非常灵活，可以作为利益相关者参与过程的一部分应用于各种森林管理环境。因此，这是实现森林管理系统社会生态复原力的重要一步。
Against a background of intensifying climate-induced disturbances, the need to enhance the resilience of forests and forest management is gaining urgency. In forest management, multiple trade-offs exist between different demands as well as across and within temporal and spatial scales. However, methods to assess resilience that consider these trade-offs are presently lacking. Here we propose a hierarchical framework of principles, criteria, and indicators to assess the resilience of a social-ecological system by focusing on the mechanisms behind resilience. This hierarchical framework balances trade-offs between mechanisms, different parts of the social-ecological system, ecosystem services, and spatial as well as temporal scales. The framework was developed to be used in a participatory manner in forest management planning. It accounts for the major parts of the forest-related social-ecological system and considers the multiple trade-offs involved. We demonstrate the utility of the framework by applying it to a landscape dominated by Norway spruce (Picea abies(L.) Karst.) in Central Europe, managed for three different management goals. The framework highlights how forest resilience varies with the pursued management goals and related management strategies. The framework is flexible and can be applied to various forest management contexts as part of a participatory process with stakeholders. It thus is an important step towards operationalizing social-ecological resilience in forest management systems.
