The European Forest Institute (EFI) has five Research and
Development priority ar eas: forest sustainability, forestry and
possible climate change, structural changes in markets for forest
products and services, policy analysis, and forest sector informa
tion services and research methodology. In the area of forest
sustainability our most important activity has been the project
"Growth trends of European forests," the re sults of which are
presented in this book. The project was started in August 1993
under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Heinrich Spiecker from the
University of Freiburg, Germany, and it is one of the first EFI's
research projects after its establishment in 1993. The main purpose
of the project was to analyse whether site productivity has changed
in European forests during the last decades. While several forest
growth studies have been published at local, re gional and national
levels, this project has aimed at stimulating a joint effort in
iden tifying and quantifying possible growth trends and their
spatial and temporal extent at the European level. Debate on forest
decline and possible climate change, as well as considerations re
lated to the long term supply of wood underline the importance of
this project, both from environmental and industrial points of
view. Knowledge on possible changes in growth trends is vital for
the sustainable management of forest ecosystems."
