Effective and adaptive management tools for the European forestry sector which support and enable coherent policies, rely on accurate research-based knowledge. The SUMFOREST project has reinforced scientific cooperation towards this end.
The management of Europe’s forests face a range of land-use, environmental, climatic, and socio-economic challenges at the local, regional and global levels. Whilst there is no common forest policy within the EU there are many policies and directives which do impact the European forestry sector. This state of affairs leaves forestry management across the EU fragmented, complex and sometimes contradictory.
