A climate-sensitive forest model for assessing impacts of forest management in Europe

A large international team working for three years at modelling European forests. This is in a very synthetic way the FORMIT project: FORest management strategies to enhance the MITigation potential of European forests. Trying to predict in a rigorous way the effect of climate change to forest ecosystems production. We find that none of the existing models was able to do this. So we decided to develop a new model: FORMIT-M. Leaded by the group of Annikki Mäkelä who did a large part of this incredible jo.
