We have very few primary and old-growth forests left in Europe - these are so valuable and need improved protection! However, we continue to lose these rare forests and implementation of biodiversity protection targets of EU policies is not advancing fast enough.

Forests and wood use are important for climate change mitigation. However, there are different views on how to assess these contributions, leading to contradictory recommendations for forest policy and management. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Deadwood is shelter, food, and corridor. It is continuity. A blog post and video from LIFE SPAN suggests: build networks of habitat, learn to see microhabitats, and let managed forests carry more of the forest’s full life cycle – standing, falling, and returning. resilience-blog.com/2026/04/29/l...

Collaborative planning will be key to social acceptability and long-term success. We encourage policymakers and land managers to adopt systematic conservation planning to better coordinate action across scales and strategically direct public investments and incentives toward priority areas. 5/6

Our results show clear trade-offs. Although wilderness-oriented scenarios maximize spatial compactness, they tend to represent fewer areas of high ecological value. The policy-based pathway captures more areas of high ecological value but requires substantial involvement of private forests. 4/6

Insights 3: Disturbance change impacts Europe’s forest demography, reducing the share of old forests and increasing the share of young forests on the landscape. This could have profound implications for ecosystem services and biodiversity, and needs to be accounted for in forest policy. (6/10)

Insight 2: Fire is the main driver of increasing future disturbance, and the Mediterranean is particularly affected. However, future disturbance hotspots emerged across biomes, from Finland to Germany and Spain, in our simulations. Disturbance change is thus a challenge at the European scale. (5/10)

Insight 1: In the coming decades, disturbances will continue to increase regardless of emissions pathway. If we effectively reduce emissions, we reach peak disturbance by mid century with declines thereafter. If emissions continue unabated, however, disturbances will continue to soar. (4/10)
