DSS4ES Working Group Meeting in Zurich
Forests and surrounding landscapes are interconnected, where management decisions in one affect the other. Therefore, an integrated DSS (Decision Support System) framework is needed to address sustainable forest management by linking forest and landscape interactions. This framework should incorporate information from various rural and land-use activities. Integrating knowledge from DSS in farming, animal husbandry, forestry, and ecosystem management can help assess ecosystem services at the landscape scale. The main aim of the COST Action DSS4ES is to create a research network to develop new methodological approaches in DSS, focusing on holistic planning to enhance sustainable forest management and address ecosystem services, risks, and uncertainties. The next working group meeting will take place in Zürich on the 12th of September 2024 - more details can be found here:
