“…The use of fertilizers peaked in the 1970s, after which reports and public debates regarding environmental effects such as eutrophication, acidification, and reduced biodiversity contributed to increasing restrictions and a decrease in forest fertilization . Although modern methods of fertilizing are developed to minimize negative effects to the environment, public perceptions based on such previous experience may remain (Lindkvist et al , 2012. The cultivation of clones is used on a smaller scale, primarily in southern Sweden (Simonsen et al 2010), but both public and forestry experience with clones is limited.…”

“…For example, investigating the linkage between value orientation, beliefs about consequences of clearfelling, and acceptance of clearfelling, Ford et al (2009) concluded that values and beliefs are important underlying factors in social acceptability judgments. In relation to this, interviews of different stakeholders regarding intensive forestry in Sweden indicate that negative perceptions formed in past conflicts over the intensification of forestry may remain (Lindkvist et al 2012).…”

“…There is a confl ict as forest ecosystems are constantly evolving and people do not seem to like the changes. The cultural background, urbanisation, past experiences and socio-demographic situation infl uence such interpretations about forests (Lindkvist et al, 2012). Ideally, active communication between the public and experts should solve the problem.…”

“…However, there are institutional and situational aspects that infl uence the realization of a particular motive (Karppinen, 1998). Therefore, forest management policies are the result of continuously changing attitudinal aspects in the society with the varying power of various interest groups (Lindkvist et al, 2012).…”

Abstract.A new paradigm in forest management using a streaming input of public participation needs effective online solutions. The process should be real-time, secure, effective and effi cient. People are expected to share their data and thoughts on forest management with forest owners for improving forest management and planning. The participatory approach supports communication within society and can be designed as an interactive web-based solution. Many pre-requisites have already been met and society is ready for a successful start of an interactive participatory forest planning system in Estonia. People use digital identifi cation for various purposes and the state already maintains an online public forest register. Motivating people to participate in the planning process is always challenging yet important for the successful implementation of the system. The system should allow simulating the development and management of forest stands following the participatory input and using ecosystem models and economic calculations. The outputs from the system include management alternatives, risk assessments and fi nancial reports. The system requires a reliable financial compensation scheme to ensure overall long-term stability of the system and agreements between interested persons or groups and forest owners.

“…Nevertheless, the character and practices of the Swedish forestry model and the forest governing system have changed during recent decades, owing to increasing internationalisation and integration of new policy areas [62] and market-based certification systems [63,64]. Shifting values, attitudes and practices among various groups of forest owners [33,65,66] and users [67,68] have added to these changes by increasing the heterogeneity of interests and knowledge within the forest landscape.…”

Adaptation to climate change has often been discussed from the perspectives of social vulnerability and community vulnerability, recognising that characteristics at local level will influence the particular adaptations undertaken. However, the extent to which national-level systemic factors influence and shape measures defined as adaptations has seldom been recognised. Focusing on adaptation to climate change in forestry, this study uses the example of two countries in the northern hemisphere with different forest ownership structures, forestry industry and traditions: Sweden, with strong private, non-industrial ownership, dominant forest industry and long forestry traditions; and Scotland, with forest ownership dominated by large estates and investment forestry based on plantations of exotic conifer species. The study shows how adaptation to climate change is structurally embedded and conditioned, which has resulted in specific challenges and constraints for different groups of forest owners within these two different contexts. This produces a specific set of political spaces and policy tools by rendering climate change in relation to forestry manageable, negotiable and practical/logical in specific ways. It is recommended that the focus of future work on climate-related issues and development of adaptation measures and policy should not be primarily on climate-related factors, but on institutional analysis of structural factors and logics in target sectors, in order to critically explore concepts of agency and power within these processes.
