Analysis of French forest policy in the context of ecosystem services: From the national to the regional level

“…At the time that multifunctionality was central in French forest policy, its achievement mainly relied on the free will of private owners (Rivière, 2017), following the same logic as in Sweden with the concept of ‘freedom with responsibility’ of forest owners towards environmental goals (Lindahl et al, 2017). In contrast, FES, which are directly linked to payment for ecosystem services, appeal to private owners since they can be financially rewarded depending on their management practices, as well as obtain recognition for their forest management work (Rivière, 2017). Furthermore, the concept of FES seems to be more beneficial than multifunctionality and leads the way to consensus as it makes it possible to define the desired balance between the different services in each area depending on the local context.…”

Application of GIS to Empirical Windthrow Risk Model in Mountain Forested Landscapes

“…Currently, we can observe a shift in the focus of forest management in many European countries, from resource-based to holistic management planning, which takes into account a wide range of risks in order to achieve multifunctional forests [88]. The windthrow risk empirical model can be seen as an essential decision support tool.…”
