A mechanistic model for assessing the risk of wind and snow damage to single trees and stands of Scots pine, Norway spruce, and birch is presented, which predicts the critical turning moment and wind speed at which the trees will be uprooted or break at forest margins.

Model simulations representing the Finnish territory between 60 and 70° N showed that climate change may substantially change the dynamics of managed boreal forests in northern Europe, with consequent needs to adapt the management to climate change.

An integrated risk model is required to allow the various locational and silvicultural factors to be assessed and plans are presented to construct such a model, and gaps in knowledge are highlighted.

Neither elevated temperature nor elevated [CO2] had a statistically significant effect on ring width, early- and latewood widths or their proportions, whereas fiber length was increased by elevated temperature.

Over the 6-year period, radial growth was significantly increased by elevated [CO2], and some wood properties were significantly affected by elevated temperature or elevated CO2, or both, indicating that climate change may affect the material properties of wood.
