Synthesize climate change impacts on forest ecosystems and outline an integrative, multi-scale framework for adaptive forest management.
Evaluated three distinct management pathways under increasing abiotic and biotic pressures: structural conservation, active adaptation, and passive adaptation.
Formulated a multi-scale implementation concept linking international suitability modelling, national priority mapping, and local forestry practices.
Identified neonative forests—which intermix native trees with non-native species and heat-tolerant non-local provenances—as an effective strategy to maintain ecosystem productivity under extreme climate events.
Determined that successful regional adaptation requires establishing an international experimental trial network to empirically validate adaptive measures across diverse environmental gradients.

Implication

Conceptual framework reveals adaptive management strategies for climate-stressed temperate forests, suggesting that neonative species and provenance mixing mitigate degradation risks.
