Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The overall objective of the project was to calculate the current and future role of forest ecosystem services and to develop strategies and mechanisms for their sustainable provision. In our case study in northern Sweden, we calculated the cost of providing a non-market-based ecosystem service of great social and cultural importance, access to reindeer grazing - and how it can be balanced with timber production.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** We have produced important information and new knowledge that contributes to a sustainable co-management of the forest for different objectives that are in conflict with each other, through a more fact-based dialogue in a polarized conflict situation between forestry and reindeer husbandry. Our results have attracted great interest within both forestry and reindeer husbandry and have already been presented in many different contexts.
Approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** In consultation with stakeholders (forestry companies and a Sami village), we developed three different scenarios: a reference scenario that corresponds to today´s forestry and two different reindeer husbandry scenarios with different levels of ambition. We analyzed the forest development over a period of 50 years given these scenarios, and estimated indicators for timber production and reindeer husbandry. We also calculated the consequences of these scenarios for other ecosystem services and biodiversity indicators.
