科学研究揭示了气候变化对自然界从生态系统到个别物种的重大影响。这些研究是欧洲森林养护和管理政策决定的重要因素。然而，虽然研究表明，气候变化研究开始影响欧洲的保护政策，如自然2000，气候变化信息尚未转化为管理实践。本文通过探讨和分析科学知识与森林管理实践之间的界面，为正在进行的关于科学与社会关系和知识利用的辩论做出贡献。我们特别关注保护政策中的气候变化辩论，以及欧洲森林地区的管理者如何看待和使用气候变化生态。我们的研究结果表明，森林管理者并不一定否认气候变化对他们的管理实践的潜在重要性，至少在未来，但对现有知识对他们自己的地区和情况的有用性持保留态度。这表明，科学-管理界面不像当前关于气候变化的政策辩论那样政治化，气候变化生态学的使用已在实践中得到落实。最后，我们讨论了什么形式的知识可以使负责任的和面向未来的管理在实践中，特别是专注于反思性的实验和监测的作用的文章。
Scientific studies reveal significant consequences of climate change for nature, from ecosystems to individual species. Such studies are important factors in policy decisions on forest conservation and management in Europe. However, while research has shown that climate change research start to impact on European conservation policies like Natura 2000, climate change information has yet to translate into management practices. This article contributes to the on-going debates about science–society relations and knowledge utilization by exploring and analysing the interface between scientific knowledge and forest management practice. We focus specifically on climate change debates in conservation policy and on how managers of forest areas in Europe perceive and use climate change ecology. Our findings show that forest managers do not necessarily deny the potential importance of climate change for their management practices, at least in the future, but have reservations about the current usefulness of available knowledge for their own areas and circumstances. This suggests that the science–management interface is not as politicized as current policy debates about climate change and that the use of climate change ecology is situated in practice. We conclude the article by discussing what forms of knowledge may enable responsible and future oriented management in practice focusing specifically on the role of reflexive experimentation and monitoring.
