New projects on continuous cover forestry

This time the workshop will focus on new projects on continuous cover forestry, clearcut free forestry methods. Research within the platform should be interdisciplinary and with a high relevance to policy and/or practical applications.

Are you a researcher within forest sciences or with focus on forests and forest landuse, and are you interested to participate?

Break out rooms: (20 min)

- Have all important knowledge gaps been identified or are there any important aspect that we are missing?

- What knowledge that we currently miss is critical if we assume that in 20 years 20 % of the productive forest land should be under CCF?
