Projects

Acceptance of management and policy options for resilient forests (ABePo)

The project examines in two case study regions (Canton Berne and Canton Aargau) forest owners' acceptance of various forest management and policy options concerning increasing extreme disturbances in the forest.

Trade-offs in the forest

The growing sectors of a sustainable economy increasingly compete for scarce land and forest ecosystem services which increases the pressure on the forests. Proceeding from the perspective of a sustainable forest economy the ATREE analyzes selected trade-offs between the forest and sectors of a sustainable economy.
