Deliverable 3.1 – Adopted land use scenarios with predicted forest expansion maps

The SafeNet deliverable D3.1 “Adopted land use scenarios with predicted forest expansion maps”. The report documents the harmonised scenario boundary conditions (land use, climate, CO₂, plant functional types, and soils) prepared for Europe and adopted for SafeNet modelling to 2100, focusing on a low–mid–high pathway bracket (SSP1-RCP2.6, SSP2-RCP4.5, SSP5-RCP8.5). It provides the data preparation workflow, quality-control approach, and scenario diagnostics (including maps/summary indicators of forest-fraction change and related drivers) to ensure interoperable, model-ready inputs for downstream simulations (notably ORCHIDEE and the G4M-X/GLOBIOM chain), supported by stakeholder validation.
