ForestForest risks, impacts and opportunities8.14aPlease provide the details of your region’s procedures for assessing deforestation and/or forest degradation risks.9Explanation1The cost of intervention in forestry management is greater of price to sale of product obtained. For that, the execution and viability of the management plans is difficult. The Generalitat de Catalunya is working to stimulate and promote the payment of environmental services.

82672927Catalonia8. ForestForest risks, impacts and opportunities8.16aPlease indicate the opportunities associated with sustainable forest management and describe how your region is positioning itself to take advantage of them.2Describe how the region is maximizing this opportunity1In Catalonia, forests are the land system with the largest carbon stock per hectare, at 149.5 tons per hectare. They are followed by pastures, with 121.4 tonnes per hectare. These are followed by scrubland (112.1 tonnes per hectare) and woody crops (104.0 tonnes per hectare), and finally, arable crops, with 100.8 tonnes per hectare. Most of this carbon is stored in the soil as humus. In absolute terms, taking into account the total area of each ecosystem, forests are in first place, with a total of 173 Tg (million tonnes) of stored carbon.Forests are not exploited as extensively as they used to be, when they gave us many products with a high economic value, and the decline in economic interest has in many cases led to neglect in their management.Since most of our forests are already suffering from the effects of climate change, flexible forest management adapted to each species and geographical region is essential.They are also valuable as ecosystems: they regulate the water, nutrients and carbon cycles, maintain biodiversity, help to control forest fires, protect the soil and prevent it from suffering from erosion. Measures are therefore needed to prevent the rural exodus, and, more specifically, the exodus from farming. These measures, combined with others to protect pastures and meadows, would maintain the sink capacity of all these natural systems.

83672927Catalonia8. ForestCurrent state8.1aPlease provide details of your region’s natural forest area by different categories of forest ownership.2Explanation1PublicPublic forests are forest lands wich belong to public law entities: Generalitat de Catalunya, town councils, decentralized municipal entities, provincial councils, state, etc. Public forest lands are also considered public forests, whose use corresponds to the common neighborhood of a population.In Catalonia there are more than 800 public forests, which occupy a forest area of approximately 450.000 ha (23% of the forest area of the country). Of these, 380.000 are declared of public utility and are, mainly, property of local entities (mainly city councils and decentralized municipal entities).The Generalitat de Catalunya owns some 100.000ha forest.

ForestCurrent state8.2Please select the current drivers of deforestation and/or forest degradation within your region.3Comments1Current drivers of deforestation and/or forest degradationThe forested area in Catalonia has increased greatly in recent years (130,000 hectares): while it accounted for 38% of the territory in 1993, in 2009 it was 42 %.There have been no major losses associated with forest fires (about 28,000 hectares of forest was burned between 2001 and 2014, or less than 2,000 hectares per year) or any other disturbances.The increase has been mainly at the expense of scrubland, and to a lesser extent, albeit a significant one, has involved an abandonment of crops.
