Collaborative project: Small private forests: conservation through resource use, subproject 2: Social-ecological analyses (KPW-Biodiversität)
Project
Project code: 22023218
Contract period: 01.04.2019
- 31.03.2022
Budget: 148,350 Euro
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
Keywords: biodiversity, silviculture, renewable ressources
The project aims to identify nature conservation values in small private forests against the background of an increased and further growing demand for raw wood and to secure these values within the framework of profitable forest management. In north-western Germany, those forest structures and characteristics of small private forests, which are valued by forest nature conservation, are to be identified on the levels of major natural regions and, in particular, model regions. Social-ecological studies analyse the targets and concrete management practices of small private forest owners as well as their views on problems and perspectives regarding nature conservation measures. For forestry practice, nature conservational-silvicultural decision aids are to be developed, which integrate measures that maintain the structures and habitats valued by nature conservation into profitable forest management. Exemplary economic analyses of nature conservational-silvicultural decision aids allow for the estimation of financial consequences. Innovative forestry policy instruments and mechanisms that aim at the promotion of forest nature conservation measures by the society are taken into account. The study results will be worked out in such a manner that they can be communicated to other regions with high proportions of small private forests.
