SUMMARY

Climate change will pose increasing challenges to forest managers working to achieve sustainable forest management in the boreal forest. To date, discussions around when, where and how to consider adaptation in forest management plans for the boreal forest have been limited. As a starting point, specific objectives for climate change adaptation need to be articulated, which we consider to be synonymous with the criteria for conservation and sustainable management of boreal forests as defined by the Montréal Process. Secondly, because forest management plans are hierarchal — there are higher level strategic plans and lower level operational plans — it is important to distinguish at which planning level adaptation options are most appropriately considered. The purpose of this paper is to put forward a range of alternative adaptation options that forest managers working in the boreal zone could consider during the development of strategic and operational forest management plans in order to achieve sustainability as defined by the Montréal Process.
Le changement climatique va poser des défis croissants aux gestionnaires cherchant à accomplir une gestion forestière durable dans la forêt boréale. Les discussions visant à décider quand, où, et comment considérer l'adaptation dans les plans de gestion forestiers pour la forêt boréale ont été jusqu' à présent limitées. Il faut que des objectifs spécifiques pour l'adaptation au changement climatique soient articulés pour commencer, lesquels, nous le pensons, sont synonymes avec les critères pour la conservation et la durabilité de la gestion des forêts boréales définis par le processus de Montréal. Par la suite, et du fait que les plans de gestion sont hiérarchiques (les plans stratégiques des haut-niveau et les plans opérationnels de bas-niveau), il est important de discerner à quel niveau de planification de la gestion les options d'adaptation seront considérés de la manière la plus appropriée. Le but de cet article est de mettre en avant des options d'adaptation alternatives que les gestionnaires forestiers travaillant dans la zone boréale pourraient considérer pendant le développement de plans stratégiques et opérationnels de gestion forestière, afin de pouvoir obtenir la durabilité comme elle est définie par le processus de Montréal.
El cambio climático creará desafíos cada vez mayores para los manejadores de bosques que trabajan para lograr una gestión sostenible en el bosque boreal. Hasta ahora han sido limitados los debates sobre cuándo, dónde y cómo tratar la adaptación en los planes de gestión para bosques boreales. Como punto de partida, hace falta desarrollar objetivos específicos para la adaptación al cambio climático. Estos objetivos pueden ser considerados como sinónimos de los criterios para la conservación y gestión sostenible del bosque boreal del como han sido definidas por el Proceso de Montreal. Los planes de gestión forestal tienen su jerarquía, y existen planes estratégicos de alto nivel y planes operacionales a menor nivel, y por eso resulta importante diferenciar el nivel de planificación más apropiado para considerar las opciones para la adaptación. El objetivo de este estudio consiste en proponer una gama de alternativas de adaptación que los manejadores de bosque que trabajan en la zona boreal podrían considerar durante el desarrollo de planes de gestión estratégicos y operacionales, en aras de lograr la sostenibilidad tal como ha sido definida por el Proceso de Montreal.
