Gains or loss in forest productivity under climate change? The uncertainty of CO2-fertilization and climate effects. Climate (Article) WP3 We studied the growth, productivity and mortality of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and fir (Abies alba Mill.) in the Black Forest (Germany) under three climate change scenarios (representative concentration pathways (RCP): RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP8.5) using the detailed biogeochemical forest growth model GOTILWA+. Concluding, cultivation of beech and fir may still be possible in the study region, although severe productivity losses can be expected in the coming decades, which will strongly depend on the dampening CO2 fertilization effect. wp1

Anthropogenic land-use legacies underpin climate change-related risks to forest ecosystems. Climate (Article) WP2-4 Anthropogenic land-use legacies that persist in forest properties following the alteration in forest distribution, structure, and composition can interact with climate change stressors and lead to detrimental ecological effects.
Aiming at a moving target: Economic evaluation of adaptation strategies under the uncertainty of climate change and CO2-fertilization. Forest economics (Article) WP2-4 Drought severely worsened till 2100 and eventually outplayed growth-enhancing CO2 fertilization turning productivity gains into losses for beech and fir. Most scenarios generated notable losses in profitability but economic tipping points were later than for productivity due to lag effects related to discounting.
Content and scope of pedological research for forest sites mapping. Soil (Article) WP2 Implementation of Forest Sites Mapping Methodology in the Republic of Serbia. The concept of forest habitat mapping enables users of forest ecosystem services to react in a timely manner by choosing species that can survive in the changed climatic conditions of the habitat.
Ecological and floristic characteristics of new montpellier maple (Acer monspessulanum L.) site in the locality Glogovita kosa on Mt. Boranja. Site index (Article) WP2 A new motpellier maple (Acer monspessulanum L.) site was described in this paper, located on mountain Boranja. The community is of azonal character, orographically-edaphically conditioned, and occurs in warmer aspects, on shallow and skeletal rendzina on oolithic limestones.
Dynamic height growth models for highly productive pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) stands: explicit mapping of site index classification in Serbia. Forest productivity (Article) WP3 We applied the generalized algebraic difference approach (GADA) to develop dynamic models of height growth for pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) in Serbia. According to the dominant heights, the studied region comprises some of Europe’s most productive sites for pedunculate oak. Therein, we have generated a map showing the current site index class of stands. Such a map could be used to enhance forest management and evaluate climate change impacts.
Site index curves for peduncululate oak (Quercus robur L.) in Srem region of Serbia: mapping the current site productivity as reference point for risk analysis. Risk analysis (Poster) WP3 Development of the first dynamic site index curves (SI) for the pedunculate oak in the Srem region of Serbia. Creating the spatially continuous productivity map covering a total of 22 management units.
Development of digital site mapping and estimating future tree species suitability in Serbia. Site index (Poster) WP2 The division of forest area into site types, representing homogeneous spatial units in terms of vegetation, soil, climate, and position (terrain, slope, and exposure) is ecologically relevant and essential for forest planning and management. The selection of site types can be based on the synthesis of site data, i.e. based on combining soil water balance level (WBL) and soil nutrient regime (NR) of a certain area.
Climate change impacts on management and activities in protected areas: Managers and stakeholders attitudes. Forest policy (Poster) WP5 Climate changes already have a significant impact on protected areas in Serbia. The research results may indicate the possibility that climate change issues are not fully accepted at all levels of protected area management systems.
Forest adaptation strategies to climate change under socio-ecological, & economic uncertainties - a case study from Serbia. Promotion (Poster) WP1-5 Serbia has been identified as a climate change hotspot, highlighting a significant science gap due to the lack of essential data, models, yield tables, and suitability maps. This gap creates a high level of uncertainty for decision-makers, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive forest management directives and a robust governance framework to address the challenges posed by climate change.
Measures and activities for managing protected areas under climate chang-es: The analysis of regulatory frameworks in selected countries of central and southeast Europe. WP5 The paper analyses regulatory frameworks (strategies and laws) in the field of nature conservation and forestry, i.e. measures and activities for managing protected areas under climate changes in selected countries of central and southeast Europe.
