Climate change seriously impacts forest ecosystems. In order to maintain a healthy and sustainable forest cover, adaptation strategies should be implemented. This article proposes to deepen our understanding of the decision-making process of private forest owners in terms of adaptation decisions towards climate change. In particular, we question whether or not French private forest owners have already implemented adaptation strategies and if yes, we identify the determinants of this decision. We focus on the identification of the determinants of the probability to adapt and on the determinants of adopting each strategy separately (early harvest, thinning, irregular silviculture). A survey of more than 900 French private forest owners was conducted for the purpose of collecting both (1) objective variables: characteristics of the owners and the property; and (2) subjective variables: perception of climate change and impacts. The results reveal that both types of variables explain the adaptation decision. In addition, we show that the determinants are different from one adaptation strategy to another, meaning that the adaptation decision should not be thought of in general but, instead, strategy-by-strategy.

使森林管理实践适应气候变化的决定因素:法国私人森林所有者调查的经验教训

气候变化严重影响森林生态系统。为了保持健康和可持续的森林覆盖,应实施适应战略。本文旨在加深我们对私人森林所有者在气候变化适应决策方面的决策过程的理解。特别是,我们质疑法国私人森林所有者是否已经实施了适应战略,如果是,我们确定了这一决定的决定因素。我们专注于确定适应概率的决定因素以及分别采用每种策略的决定因素(早收、间伐、不规则造林)。为收集 (1) 个客观变量,对 900 多名法国私人森林所有者进行了调查:业主和财产的特征;(2) 主观变量:对气候变化和影响的感知。结果表明,这两种类型的变量都解释了适应决策。此外,我们表明决定因素因一种适应策略而异,这意味着不应笼统地考虑适应决策,而应考虑逐个策略。
