This paper describes the conceptual design of a regional modelling framework to assess scenarios for the forest-based bioeconomy. The framework consists of a core set of tools: a partial equilibrium model for the forest sector, a forestry dynamics model for forest growth and harvest, and a wood resources balance sheet. The framework can be expanded to include an energy model, a landuse model and a forest-owner decision model.
Estimating the Effects of Water-Induced Shallow Landslides on Soil Erosion
This paper proposes a semi-quantitative integrated methodology for a robust assessment of soil erosion rates in data-poor regions affected by landslide activity. It combines heuristic, empirical and probabilistic approaches. The architecture might contribute as a novel component to simplify future integrated analyses of the potential impact of wildfires or vegetation types and distributions on sediment transport from water-induced landslides and erosion.
