“…First, the climate parameters for the 11,000 points of the National Forest Inventory were linearly interpolated and corrected for effects of elevation. A time trend of temperatures was created by tilting the average temperature of the years 1980 to 2010 in order to obtain a warming trend of 3.5 • C in 90 years, corresponding to the RCP scenario 8.5 and the SRES scenario A1b [29,30]. In order to create noise to the temperature data we randomly drew monthly values from the measurements of the years 1980 and 2010 and adjusted the temperatures accordingly.…”

“…In order to create noise to the temperature data we randomly drew monthly values from the measurements of the years 1980 and 2010 and adjusted the temperatures accordingly. For the precipitation no clear annual trend is expected during the 21st century [30]. Therefore the mean precipitation of the years 1980 to 2010 was used and noise was superimposed as described for the temperature data.…”

We simulated Austrian forests under different sustainable management scenarios. A reference scenario was compared to scenarios focusing on the provision of bioenergy, enhancing the delivery of wood products, and reduced harvesting rates. The standing stock of the stem biomass, carbon in stems, and the soil carbon pool were calculated for the period 2010–2100. We used the forest growth model Câldis and the soil carbon model Yasso07. The wood demand of all scenarios could be satisfied within the simulation period. The reference scenario led to a small decrease of the stem biomass. Scenarios aiming at a supply of more timber decreased the standing stock to a greater extent. Emphasizing the production of bioenergy was successful for several decades but ultimately exhausted the available resources for fuel wood. Lower harvesting rates reduced the standing stock of coniferous and increased the standing stock of deciduous forests. The soil carbon pool was marginally changed by different management strategies. We conclude that the production of long-living wood products is the preferred implementation of climate-smart forestry. The accumulation of carbon in the standing biomass is risky in the case of disturbances. The production of bioenergy is suitable as a byproduct of high value forest products.

“…Climate change is one of them already causing a loss of suitable thermal habitat in the lower distribution range of brown trout (Almodóvar et al., 2012) and will continue to progress as the global surface temperature is expected to rise by 1.5°C above the preindustrial levels till 2050 (IPCC, 2018). Mountain streams are considered to remain suitable habitats for cold water fish like brown trout (Isaak et al., 2016), but the Austrian Panel on Climate Change (APCC) (Österreichischer Sachstandsbericht Klimawandel 2018) expects that the warming in the alpine area could be the same as the European average or even above (Kromp‐Kolb et al., 2014), which is already affecting the water temperature in Austrian rivers and also the species living in the aquatic environment (Markovic et al., 2013; Pletterbauer et al., 2016). Water temperature is an essential parameter in riverine ecosystems, especially for temperature‐sensitive species like brown trout that have an optimal temperature range between 4 –19°C (Elliott & Elliott, 2010).…”

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is a disease found in salmonid fish that is widespread in Europe and North America. The dependency of the clinical signs on the water temperature is extensively reported in rainbow trout, but detailed information on brown trout is lacking. In this study, juvenile brown trout were exposed to the spores of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae and then kept at different ambient water temperatures (16°C, 19°C and 22°C) for 10 weeks along with recording of morbidity throughout the experiment. At 6, 8 and 10 weeks post‐exposure, fish from each temperature group were sampled and underwent pathoanatomical examination to survey disease progression. At 16°C, brown trout showed a significantly higher survival probability compared to those kept in 19°C and 22°C water. Additionally, the parasitic burden (MSQ) was higher and the clinical signs were more pronounced in the brown trout kept at 19°C and 22°C compared with the ones kept at 16°C. This study highlights the correlation of PKD outbreaks and water temperature increases related to global climate change, which will impact the future distribution of brown trout in natural waters.

“…RCP2.6 will keep global warming likely below 2°C above pre‐industrial temperatures by the end of the 21st century (Van Vuuren et al, 2007), while RCP8.5 predicts global mean surface temperature increases of 3.7°C (IPCC, 2014). Mean precipitation in Austria is projected to decrease in summer and increase in winter (Kromp‐Kolb et al, 2014), resulting in a decrease in relative humidity.…”
