Sustainable Forest Management in the Context of Global Change

Discussions at the International Symposium on Sustainable Forest Management in the Context of Global Change (ISSFM-CGC) in Harbin, China, on 1-3 August 2017, focused on the following themes:

•    Restoration and rehabilitation of forest ecosystems in the context of global change
•    Sustainable management of forest ecosystems in the context of global change
•    Forest ecosystem services and functions in the context of global change

Participants concluded, among other things, that it is vital to understand the short-term/long-term environmental and societal impacts of planted forests in order to find ways of achieving desired goods and ecosystem services while improving their vitality, resilience and sustainability. There is a need to set up long-term silvicultural trials where the dynamics of planted forests can be monitored and adjusted over time.
