Adaptive Forest Management and Forest Landscape Restoration do not contradict – ecosystemintegrityand health are benefits and central goals in both concepts, and thus can beintegrated. The Adaptive Measures concept can be helpful in streamlining and focusing existingconcepts on forest adaptation and restoration as well as to help forest restoration to focusmore on the ability of ecosystems to self-organize in the future and to adapt to changingenvironmental conditions instead of attempting to restore to a previous historical state.There is an urgent need to consider novel or no-analogue ecosystems to potentially providethe best mix of ecosystem services in the future under uncertainty.
