As a result, the share of sanitary felling has dramatically increased, driving the total harvest to record-high levels in recent years. As a result, current forest management in the country practically resembles a crisis management dealing dominantly with unplanned disturbances. The Czech case clearly shows the essential, non-separable linkage between forest adaptation and mitigation––a simple recognition that, without adaptation, there is no mitigation. It also demonstrates the importance of tailoring the general climate-smart forestry approach to regional circumstances. The current priorities of Czech forestry must be to halt forest decline, restore the lost vegetation cover on clearcut soils, and intensify adaptive management in order to create resilient forest ecosystems than can cope better with changing climate and extreme climate events.
