Contribution: Major contributor on ecosystem service evaluation (wood production)/ statistical analysis

The objectives of AFFORBALL are divided into four “research components”. First, it is a matter of better understanding this resource (stock status, volumes of mobilizable wood) and the determinants of wood mobilization (RV n° 1). Secondly, the production of “ecosystem services” such as forest recreation or the improvement of groundwater quality will be evaluated (RV n°2). In a third step, the project will examine the perception of risks among forest owners and measures to adapt to them (RV n°3). In the fourth stage (RV n°4), the project will question the future, based on development scenarios of the sector, and in particular the economic and environmental impacts of these scenarios.
