The vulnerability of mountain forests to natural disturbances is expected to rise with climate change along with increased disturbance frequency and severity. The damage caused to mountain protective forests may have negative repercussions on their ability to safeguard human lives and infrastructures. As resources for interventions are limited, prioritizing management interventions becomes crucial to anticipate and plan for potential disturbance and damage scenarios.
