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

ForestWard Observatory的原型将提供（a）关于欧洲森林易受气候变化影响的脆弱性的及时和详细的信息，（B）基于科学的知识，以指导使用气候智能型林业、生态系统恢复和生物多样性保护（CSF和恢复）原则的管理，以及（c）利益攸关方参与和公众参与决策过程。我们利用现有网络（例如ICP Forests）的数据，并通过5个FORWARDS演示案例以及通过向第三方提供赠款建立的约50项试验，通过试点中心网络扩展这一点。我们将调和目前从地面和遥感获得的森林信息之间的鸿沟，将监测超级站点的概念和新的方法，更全面地表征森林干扰的因果关系。将与利益攸关方联合开发全欧洲前瞻性和空间上明确的森林预测工具以及区域化的森林恢复和森林重建轨迹，以评估转换和恢复活动的协同作用和权衡。这些将用于提供关于有效CSF和恢复管理实践的良好实践指导。将根据共同设计的原则建造ForestWard观测站，以满足用户和利益攸关方的信息需求。FORWARDS与几个已建立的CSF和恢复网络进行互动，并有效地利用五个专门的拨款呼吁来实施森林观测和测试CSF和恢复措施。ForestWard Observatory的目标是成为FORWARDS的长期遗产，支持跨尺度的决策，以促进整个欧洲（管理实践的地方尺度）采用良好的CSF和恢复管理实践，同时有效地通报气候变化和干扰影响以及欧洲森林的恢复力（区域到欧盟的政策制定尺度）。

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
