Workpackage 5

In workpackage 1 and 2 research is performed in the impact consequences of afforestation and different management options. Knowledge is mobilized from literature and existing data sets, completed with a set of new experiments in chronosequences of newly afforested ecosystems.

Based on the findings of workpackages 1 and 2, proces-based models, GIS-models, and a decision support system (AFFOREST-DSS) for scenario analyses and decision support for end-users will be developed in workpackage 3.

In workpackage 4, prepared guidelines and scenario analyses will be formulated on the basis of the obtained knowledge from the two first workpackages using the developed tool, AFFOREST-DSS, resulting from workpackage 3. The output in the from of workshops and training courses in AFFOREST-DSS will be arranged for end users like forest and landscape planners in workpackage 5. In this concluding workpackage the results will furthermore be dissiminated to researchers.
