The quantification of potential climate induced losses of ecosystem services in economic terms is of high importance to highlight often invisible values at risk and provide a benchmark for policy-makers. In our study 'High economic costs of reduced carbon sinks and declining biome stability in...

The paper presents a combined simulation-optimization approach to model forest conversion planning taking the values of timber, carbon and biodiversity into account. The development of a virtual age-class forest was predicted by adopting a single tree forest growth tool, "TreeGrOSS". The effects...
