Adaptive and Flexible Forest Decision-Making

My research asks how forest management can be designed when objectives conflict and future risks are uncertain. I have shown that multi-objective approaches can outperform narrow production-focused strategies by increasing overall ecosystem service provision and making trade-offs more explicit. I have also integrated disturbance risks directly into management analysis, demonstrating that strategies that look optimal under stable conditions can fail once wind, snow, or other risks are included. That is the real management challenge: not maximizing one objective, but making decisions that remain defensible under change.
