How might  climate change affect forestry?
The general warming may make forests grow faster and the tree line
will extend northwards. But these effects might not result in
good productive forest: The species distribution may change
and the risk of damage through spring frosts and
increased storms and pests might rise. Nevertheless the higher
growth-rate may result in a higher wood
outtake, which is beneficial for wood producers.
