The effect of forest owner decision-making, climatic change and societal demands on land use change and ecosystem service provision in Sweden

The document presents the CRAFTY-Sweden model, which simulates future land use and ecosystem services in Sweden. Findings suggest that socio-economic changes and owner behavior have a greater influence on land-use change than climatic effects on productivity. The model predicts an increase in timber harvesting and a decoupling between the supply and demand of forest ecosystem services.

• Socio-economic changes and differences in land owner behavior are more influential in determining land-use change and its impact than the effects of climate change on land productivities.
• Simulations predict a significant rise in timber harvesting in the coming decades, alongside a substantial gap between the supply and demand for forest ecosystem services.
