<br>
<b>Highlights_</b>_<br>
<br>
oClimate change adaptation and mitigation strategies are changing
forest management.__<br>
<br>
oThese changes can conflict with biodiversity goals for production
forests.__<br>
<br>
oWe develop a framework to assess 7 CCAMS applied to Sweden's
production forests.__<br>
<br>
oWe found that CCAMS often came into direct or partial conflict with
biodiversity goals.__</font><br>

<div><font face="Bookman Old Style">oWe challenge the need for
trade-offs and provide pathways to synergistic outcomes.</font></div>

"Drought and heat-induced tree mortality is accelerating in many
forest biomes as a consequence of a warming climate, resulting in a
threat to global forests unlike any in recorded history (1-12)."<br>
<br>
" Š. we conclude with high certainty that
today's forests are going to be subject to continued increases in
mortality rates that will result in substantial reorganization of
their structure and carbon storage."<br>
