Balancing forest ecosystem services by adapting their management to the forest type and the ecological context: a case study in Southern Belgium ; Equilibrer les services écosystémiques des forêts en adaptant leur gestion au type de forêt et au contexte écologique : un cas d'étude dans le Sud de la Belgique

Trade-offs between wood production and other ecosystem services (ES) are common. Understanding these trade-offs is a first step to ensure a balanced supply of ES from forests to society. Only few studies, however, consider the influence of the management and the ecological context such as the topography or the type of soils on these trade-offs. We, therefore, assessed the impacts of management and the ecological context on the supply of ES and their trade-offs. The assessment focused on six ES (wood production, carbon sequestration, flood and erosion control, clean water, recreation) based on... Mehr ...
