What are the tools used within ForestPaths? aiphoria is an open-source Python package by @efieuropeanforest.bsky.social for tracking wood flows across value chains. It traces wood products from forest to final use, maps circularity, and quantifies associated carbon stocks. #ForestPathsModels

❓What is EFI-GTM? This global wood market model simulates how producers and consumers across different regions trade and respond to changes in supply and demand. 👉 Learn more: forestpaths.eu/models

In today's #ForestPathsModels feature: LandSyMM - a global land use framework linking forest management, wood demand and economic systems to assess the biophysical and socio-economic impacts of forest policy. forestpaths.eu/models

#ForestPathsModels zooms in on PLUM - a model that simulates how demand for food, bioenergy and wood drives land use change, balancing competing pressures across different policy scenarios. 👉 Learn more: forestpaths.eu/models

🌲Next in #ForestPathsModels: IMAGE - an integrated assessment model simulating how timber and agricultural demand drive land use change and carbon emissions from 1970 to 2100, and connecting forest dynamics to the global climate picture. 👉 Learn more: forestpaths.eu/models

Are you interested in the potential of forest modelling for climate change mitigation? Thomas Pugh (@lund-university.bsky.social) and @jcdoelman.bsky.social (@nlenvironagency.bsky.social) talk about the role of modelling within ForestPaths. 📹 Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG19...

#ForestPathsModels introduces GLOBIO, a model that simulates how land use, climate change, and nitrogen deposition affect biodiversity and ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, pollination, and recreation across Europe. 🔎 Learn more: forestpaths.eu/models

🌍We are continuing our #ForestPathsModels series with RCA-GUESS - a regional Earth system model coupling LPJ-GUESS with an atmospheric model to simulate how forests influence the climate around them, not just the other way around. Learn more: forestpaths.eu/models

#ForestPathsModels meets CRAFTY - a model simulating how land users make management decisions and how policy shapes their choices across forestry, agriculture and conservation. 👉Learn more: forestpaths.eu/models
