The ForestWard Observatory to Secure Resilience of European Forests (FORWARDS)

Forward将以ForestWard观察站为原型，提供：(A)关于欧洲森林易受气候变化影响的及时和详细的信息；(B)以科学为基础的知识，利用气候智能林业、生态系统恢复和生物多样性保护的原则指导管理；(C)利益攸关方参与和公众参与决策进程。我们利用现有网络(例如，国际比较方案森林)的数据，并通过通过向第三方提供赠款建立的5个转发演示案例和约50个试验，通过试点站点网络来扩展这一点。我们将调和目前从地面获得的森林信息和遥感信息之间的鸿沟，办法是采用监测重头戏的概念和更全面地描述森林干扰的因果关系的新办法。将与利益攸关方共同开发全欧洲范围内关于森林的前瞻性和空间上明确的预测工具以及地区化的林业和恢复轨迹，以评估转换和恢复活动的协同作用和取舍。这些将被用来为有效的CSF和修复管理实践提供良好的实践指导。森林病房观察站将在共同设计的原则下建造，以满足用户和利益攸关方的信息需求。Forwards与几个已建立的关于CSF和恢复的网络进行互动，并有效地利用五个专门的赠款呼叫来实施森林观测和测试CSF和恢复措施。其目标是使ForestWard观察站成为Forward的长期遗产，它支持跨尺度的决策制定，以促进在整个欧洲采用良好的CSF和恢复管理实践(用于管理实践的本地尺度)，同时有效地告知气候变化和欧洲森林的干扰影响和弹性(用于制定政策的区域至欧盟尺度)。没有公开描述

FORWARDS will prototype The ForestWard Observatory to provide (a) timely and detailed information on European forests’ vulnerability to climate change impacts, (b)science-based knowledge to guide management using the principles of climate-smart forestry, ecosystem restoration, and biodiversity preservation (CSF & Restoration), and (c) stakeholder engagement and public participation in decision-making processes. We capitalize on data from existing networks (e.g. ICP Forests) and expand this with a Network of Pilot sites through 5 FORWARDS Demo cases plus ~50 trials established via grants to third parties. We will reconcile the current divide between forest information obtained from the ground and remote sensing by incorporating the concept of Monitoring Supersites and novel approaches to more comprehensively characterize cause-effect relationships of forest disturbances. Tools for European-wide forward looking and spatially explicit projections on forests as well as regionalized CSF & Restoration trajectories will be developed jointly with stakeholders to evaluate synergies and trade-offs of conversion and restoration activities. These will be used to provide good practice guidance on effective CSF & Restoration management practices. The ForestWard Observatory will be constructed under the principle of co-design to addressthe information needs by users and stakeholders. FORWARDS interacts with several established networks on CSF & Restoration and effectively utilizes five dedicated grant calls to implement forest observations and test CSF & restoration measures. The ambition is for The ForestWard Observatory to become a long-lasting legacy of FORWARDS, which supports decision making across scales to boost the uptake of good CSF & Restoration management practice throughout Europe (local scale for management practice), while efficiently informing about climate change and disturbance impacts and resilience of European forests (regional to EU scale for policy making).no public description
