|Description=ClimChAlp focuses on the question of suitable stand treatment programmes for currently existing Norway spruce stands given a particular set of management objectives (represented by a set of indicators focusing on timber production, ecophysiological tree suitability, timber yield, harvesting and silvicultural costs, carbon sequestration, biodiversity and groundwater recharge).

The staff of the forestry extension services has a key role in knowledge transfer to small scale owners who often do not have any professional background in forestry.

Description

Has description ClimChAlp focuses on the question of suitable stand treatment programmes for currently existing Norway spruce stands given a particular set of management objectives (represented by a set of indicators focusing on timber production, ecophysiological tree suitability, timber yield, harvesting and silvicultural costs, carbon sequestration, biodiversity and groundwater recharge). The tool is particularly designed to support the consultation process of the forestry extension services for small-scale private landowners. The staff of the forestry extension services has a key role in knowledge transfer to small scale owners who often do not have any professional background in forestry. Therefore, the DSS was supposed to (a) inform the extension foresters about potential impacts of climate change on Norway spruce forests and provide them with information on alternative stand treatment options; and (b) to assist them by various means of visualization to support the consultation session.
