  2. Part B: Sustainable Management andEcosystem Services Speakers: T. Knoke, R. Mosandl Projects: B2 (K. Roos): Pasture rehabilitation on, and management of degraded areas in the Andes of South Ecuador. B3 (R. Mosandl, M. Weber, B. Stimm) B5 (T. Knoke)

  3. Part B: Sustainable Management andEcosystem Services Speakers: T. Knoke, R. Mosandl Projects: B2 (K. Roos) B3 (R. Mosandl, M. Weber, B. Stimm): Improvement of forest management key strategies: a contribution to conservation and sustainable land use B5 (T. Knoke)

  4. B3 – Improvement of forest management key strategies: a contribution to conservation and sustainable land use WP (a) Optimization of relevant forest management alternatives • Identification of relevant natural resources and demands • Identification of possible management alternatives • Installation and monitoring of experimental field plots • Improvement of management alternatives WP (b) Accounting for global changes • Assessment of management alternatives regarding their impacts on biodiversity • Spatial distribution of species under climate change scenarios • Testing of potential tree provenances for better adaptation to climate change • Conclusions for climate-smart management guidelines WP (c) Balancing of alternative strategies for multi objective forest management • Optimization with regard to different decision criteria • Testing for uncertain parameters 4

  5. B3 - Work packages (a) and topics in different ecosystems • Dry Forest: • Domestication of native NTFP tree species • Selection of plus trees for multiplication as cultivars, germination trials, survival of seedling, early growth rates • Browsing effects on regeneration dynamics and species composition • Stratification according to stand densities • Installation of fenced and unfenced inventory plots • Integration into system of existing inventory plots (NCI, UTPL) • Sites: Laipuna, La Ceiba, Cazaderos • Cooperation partners: B5, NCI, UTPL (Carlos Ivan Espinosa) • PhD-candidate: Jorge Cueva (SENESCYT-scholarship; • starting from April 2014) 5

  6. Work packages (a) and topics in different ecosystems • (2) Tropical Mountain Forest, ECSF: • Natural forest experiment • monitoring, regeneration dynamics • Reforestation of abandoned pastures • Monitoring of reforestation plots • Problem: leasing rates • Cooperation partners: NCI, UNL (Nikolay Aguirre) • PhD-candidate: Johana Munoz (SENESCYT-scholarship; • starting from April 2014) 6

  7. Work packages (a) and topics in different ecosystems • (3) Paramo, Surroundings of • Cajas National Park: • Optimization of regulating ecosystem services (hydrological capacities and carbon sequestration) • Comparison of Paramo, managed and unmanaged Pine plantations and the effects on production and provision of ecosystem services • Installation of inventoryfieldplots • Cooperationpartners: Universidad de Cuenca (Patricio Crespo), ETAPA • PhD-candidate: Carlos Quiroz • (SENESCYT-scholarship; started in February 2014) 7

  8. Work package (b) Global change – Dry forest/ECSF Identification of ecological characteristics of key species along climate gradient Potential future habitat due to climate change scenarios of IPCC (Worldclim data and WG Bendix) • Assessment of ecological parameters along a climate gradient for key species for conservation and managament • Seedtesting • Cross planting experiments • Genetic analysis • Tree ring analysis Habitat model according to environmental envelopes today (Maxent) • Cooperationpartners: UTPL (Augusta Cueva), CATIE (Sven Günter) • PhD-candidate: Carlos Manchego(50% UTPL 50% DFG; started in December 2013) 8
