IA2.8. Trade-off ES assessment of fire-resilient landscape design
OVERVIEW
What kind of result is this? | Tool for Ecosystem Service Trade-off Analysis | |
What’s the area addressed? | Ecosystem Conservation and Landscape design | |
What’s the covered phase? | Prevention and Preparedness | |
What’s the addressed challenge? | EWE and the associated management interventions have a profound impact on ecosystem services crucial for the socio-economic-ecological sustainability of forest landscapes. The intricate trade-offs among regulatory and other ecosystem services necessitate informed decision-making and planning. To provide decision-makers and forest managers with the necessary insights, a sophisticated tool leveraging complex mathematical and computer-based methodologies is essential. | |
What value is proposed? | The proposed tool will be designed to effectively inform end users, including policymakers, forest managers, and various stakeholders, facilitating the development of management interventions and plans that addresses the trade-offs inherent in the wake of Extreme Wildfire Events. | |
Who can use it? | Forest planners (forest owner associations) and managers | |
What type of tool is it? | Model, Ecosystem Services Trade off Maps, Reports | |
How does it look like? | Optimization tools, Decision /Trade off Maps | |
This tool is… | ☐ a new tool | ⊠ an improved tool |
What are the vision & mission statement? | To develop the analysis of trade-offs between EWE regulatory ecosystem services and other ecosystem services (e.g., CO2 storage/emissions saving, effects in biodiversity) over extended planning horizons to address ecological and socioeconomic dimensions of planning for fire-resilient landscapes. | |
When will it be complete? | Winter 2025 | |
Documentation | TBA | |
This IA is implemented in the Living Lab(s)… |
