The Protective Functions of Forests in a Changing Climate: European Experience
Original language description
The definition of protective forests (also referred to as `protection forests’) varies among the countries. Nonetheless, most consider them as forested areas that provide ecosystem services such as control of soil erosion and water retention, as well as the mitigation of natural hazards, including floods, landslides and avalanches. Definitions are mostly based on whether the forest fulfils a protective function for inhabited areas, infrastructure, biodiversity or the soil. As such, countries identified the role of forests in mitigating soil erosion in mountain watersheds as the key policy objective. The location, altitude and/or social significance of the forest may further define its protective function.
