How forests can support adaptation of
landscapes systems to mitigate climate
change?
A landscape approach to sustainable
forest management
Sandra Luque

pour l’environnement et l’agriculture
Many forested landscapes are changing rapidly in response to
changes in key social and ecological drivers
Warming climate is altering forest productivity (e.g., Boisvenue and
Running 2006; Huang et al. 2010) and the distribution of some tree
species (e.g., Schrag et al. 2008; Lenoir et al. 2009, 2010, Iverson et
al 2011)
Human interventions have increased wood production and this has
resulted in degradation of forest biodiversity and ecosystem services

Forest management effects on spatial heterogeneity in forest landscapes
Forest management actions can dramatically alter the composition and spatial configuration of the forested landscape
Potentially significant effects on biodiversity
Forest landscape Include more than trees
holistic vision towards
adaptive management &
trade offs
A landscape should provide a living society
Adaptive capacityAbility of a system to adapt to changes
• Adaptive capacity has two components:
1. Inherent adaptive capacity of organisms and ecosystems
2. Socioeconomic factors determining the ability to implement adaptation measures
Adaptation is emerging topic

MAPPING VALUES OF MULTIPLEFOREST ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
From Opdam, P., Luque, S., Jones, K. (2009)
An integrative landscape driven research should be
envisioned to relate ecosystem processes, global changes
including climate changes and socio-economic processes
across different governance levels
Selecting future adaptive management options implies the consideration of trade-offs between forest resource use &
environmental objectives
to maintain the provisioning of forest goods and services (FGS)
under future climate change
the understanding of synergies between FGS that occur during
forest conversion.
“… the large impact of past management practices on the spatial
heterogeneity of forest dynamics underpins the need to assess FGS
provisioning at the landscape scale” (Temperli et al 2012)
Some Key issues
Climate change affects forest related ecosystem services
Ecosystem services of the forests will change as the composition and
dominants change over time
Risk assessments are useful to prioritize strategies
species management assessments
Where to protect (e.g., refuges)
Where to assist (e.g., corridors, assisted relocation)
Where to apply silvicultural management
Adaptation – suitable species, changing weather patterns, emerging
pests and diseases
What land use change issues arise from forest expansion/intensification ?
Changes in perceptions/cultural values
Information & communication is key …
