Short Abstract:

Last few decades, our conceptions of forests and forestry have substantially changed, mainly because timberlands have connected to more significant interconnections and complex value constellations. We have been woken by the viewpoints that so large parts of forests are no longer thriving.

Long Abstract:

The panel aims to provide a wide-ranging analysis of long-term changes in forests and forestry and the utilization of forests. It will deal with the development of forestry, utilization of forests and recovery of forests from forest fires and other damages, as well as human impacts on the growth and use of forests. Contributors will tackle challenging issues and reconsideration.

Our team targets to pinpoint and highlight what and when human actions have substantially deteriorated the vitality and health of forests by choosing some significant examples. Papers will deal with several damaging human activities, such the impact of clear-cuttings, cutting of old forests, excessive felling and too early felling, felling and removal of rotten trees and deadwood, planting single species forests, by planting one species forests, drainage of marshes, etc.

Contributions will also examine the consequences of these actions and practices. Consequently, the session attempts to discover what has gone wrong during the last centuries, what the outcomes have been, and how to fix human-caused damages.

To map an overall picture of the scope and speed of unfavourable development with the comparative cross-country analysis between countries. By examining various case studies, the panel attempts to discover what has gone wrong during the last centuries, the consequences, and how to fix human-caused damages.
