| Associated theme items: | Forestry (Land use), Other land use (Land use), Terrestrial biodiversity (NB) |
Associated policy response component
Component: Land and biodiversity policies
Page: Land and biodiversity policies/Forestry sector
Effects of this policy intervention on components
Component: Forest management
Effect : this intervention decreases the area impacted by forestry/logging
Component: Natural vegetation and carbon cycle
Effect : Forest management options including enhanced plantation establishment have an effect on the C pools in the terrestrial biosphere and the CO2 exchange between biosphere and atmosphere (NPP, NEP).
Component: Terrestrial biodiversity
Effect : Terrestrial biodiversity is effected in two ways: 1) the area with forestry impacts will be smaller, and 2) the biodiversity value of plantations will be lower than (semi-)natural forests in which logging takes place.
