TOPIC 2 – Adaptive and Multifunctional Forest Management Systems
Long-term silvicultural evidence for adaptive forest management
I am interested in joining or co-developing a consortium focusing on adaptive silviculture, forest regeneration and management strategies that sustain growth, species diversity and resilience under changing climatic conditions.
At the Institute of Forestry, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry (LAMMC), our research combines an extensive range of experimental and demonstration stands in managed forests with long-term observations in unmanaged forest reserves. Relevant studies cover harvesting treatments, planting and establishment, species mixtures, natural and artificial regeneration, and stand growth and development.
We can contribute field sites, long-term empirical data and expertise in assessing stand structure, tree growth and radial increment, vitality, mortality and regeneration. These resources offer opportunities to evaluate how silvicultural treatments and site conditions influence productivity, species composition, regeneration success and disturbance vulnerability, particularly wind damage.
I am particularly interested in linking this evidence with comparative management trials and scenario modelling to assess options for species mixtures, stand density, regeneration and post-disturbance management. Unmanaged forests provide complementary ecological references for understanding natural development and identifying where spontaneous recovery can meet management objectives or additional interventions may be needed.
Potential collaboration could deliver site-specific recommendations for adaptive silviculture, including close-to-nature and continuous-cover approaches

The Institute of Forestry of LAMMC conducts research on forest ecosystems and sustainable forest management. Within the Department of Silviculture and Ecology, relevant expertise includes silviculture, stand dynamics, tree growth, forest regeneration, forest health and soil–vegetation relationships.
A key asset is an extensive portfolio of experimental, model and demonstration stands in managed forests, covering harvesting, planting, species mixtures, regeneration and growth. These are complemented by permanent sample plots in Lithuanian forest reserves with repeated measurements spanning several decades.
Together, these resources support comparisons of management effects and natural development across forest types and site conditions. Our main contribution would be experimental sites, long-term field evidence and silvicultural expertise for developing and evaluating adaptive management strategies in hemiboreal forests.
