“…On the other hand, this implies that Scots pine is excluded from more favorable sites through competition. In recent decades, it was favored by past fires (Gobet et al 2003), by heavy forest cuts, and by the recent increase of fallow lands (Farrell et al 2000;Kräuchi et al 2000;Caplat et al 2006;Picon-Cochard et al 2006). In the absence of disturbances, it will eventually be overgrown or replaced by broadleaves or mixed broad-leaved coniferous forest.…”

“…In recent decades, European forest management has increasingly focused on integrating the multitude of forest ecosystem services within the context of sustainability [1][2][3][4]. Forest management planning aims at maintaining a sustainable provision of multiple goods and services, such as timber and non-timber products, carbon sequestration, air and water purification, buffer to natural hazards, climate regulation, biodiversity conservation or recreation [5][6][7], at the level of the forest management unit [8].…”

“…Forest management planning aims at maintaining a sustainable provision of multiple goods and services, such as timber and non-timber products, carbon sequestration, air and water purification, buffer to natural hazards, climate regulation, biodiversity conservation or recreation [5][6][7], at the level of the forest management unit [8]. However, the consideration of multiple ecological, economic and social objectives [1] often implies trade-offs and conflicts [9], along with complex interactions on various spatial and temporal scales [10]. The more diverse the demands on forest ecosystem services, the more complex and challenging planning and decision making is [8,11].…”

As European forest policy increasingly focuses on multiple ecosystem services and participatory decision making, forest managers and policy planners have a need for integrated, user-friendly, broad spectrum decision support systems (DSS) that address risks and uncertainties, such as climate change, in a robust way and that provide credible advice in a transparent manner, enabling effective stakeholder involvement. The Sim4Tree DSS has been accordingly developed as a user-oriented, modular and multipurpose toolbox. Sim4Tree supports strategic and tactical forestry planning by providing simulations of forest development, ecosystem services potential and economic performance through time, from a regional to a stand scale, under various management and climate regimes. Sim4Tree allows comparing the performance of different scenarios with regard to diverse criteria so as to optimize management choices. This paper explains the concept, characteristics, functionalities, components and use of the current Sim4Tree DSS v2.5, which was parameterized for the region of Flanders, Belgium, but can be flexibly adapted to allow a broader use. When considering the current challenges for forestry DSS, an effort has been made towards the OPEN ACCESSForests 2015, 6 860 participatory component and towards integration, while the lack of robustness remains Sim4Tree's weakest point. However, its structural flexibility allows many possibilities for future improvement and extension.

“…Also the continuous tendency towards increasing conservation of forests has forced the supply to be met from other forest resources. Multifunctional forest management is gaining an increasingly important role, which raises also the role played by forest conservation (Farrell et al 2000, Peck 1998). Nature-oriented forest management alters also the felling possibilities, not only within national borders, but also internationally through trading channels (Wardle & Michie 1998, Kallio et al 1987, Nabuurs et al 2001.…”

This paper analyses the links between European roundwood trade, The results indicated that during the 1990s production of industrial roundwood in the EU has been rather steady while imports have almost doubled. The share of imports from total supply has increased from 10% to 19% during the study period but domestic roundwood is still the most important source of supply for EU countries.
