In recent years, climate change and societal changes have increased the complexity of demands on multifunctional forest management, leading to new lines of conflict. Consequently, public forest management in particular seeks to improve communication and interaction with societal groups with which they previously have not been familiar. In our study, we apply the deliberative model of democracy to assess the suitability of silvicultural training sites (“marteloscopes”) for fostering deliberative communication on multifunctional forest management between foresters and young climate activists. Furthermore, we examine the interpretative frames emerging in this context. We adopt an exploratory study design, using participant observation and group discussions, which we analyze with sequential reconstructive methods. We find that marteloscope exercises generally support dialogue that meets the criteria of deliberate communication. We also observe a noticeable knowledge hierarchy, which presents a potential barrier to open deliberative processes. We identify three main interpretative frames brought by participants that in part challenge dominant forest frames: (1) forests as complex ecosystems (2) composed of living beings, and (3) sustainability as sufficiency, focused on timber consumption and the role of global market dynamics. Reflecting and acknowledging them could provide opportunities for improving communication between foresters and non-experts in times of climate change and other major transformations. Additionally, we encourage the use of settings conducive for informal, face-to-face deliberation to elicit and include perspectives that may not otherwise be represented in traditional governance structures.

森林讨论：Marteloscopes 是气候活动家和森林管理者相遇的场所


近年来，气候变化和社会变化增加了对多功能森林管理需求的复杂性，导致了新的冲突线。因此，公共森林管理尤其寻求改善与他们以前不熟悉的社会群体的沟通和互动。在我们的研究中，我们应用民主的审议模型来评估造林培训地点（“测林机”）是否适合促进林务员和年轻气候活动家之间关于多功能森林管理的审议流。此外，我们研究了在这种情况下出现的解释框架。我们采用探索性研究设计，使用参与者观察和小组讨论，并使用序贯重建方法进行分析。我们发现 marteloscope 练习通常支持符合深思熟虑沟通标准的对话。我们还观察到明显的知识层次结构，这为开放式审议过程带来了潜在障碍。我们确定了参与者提出的三个主要解释框架，这些框架在一定程度上挑战了占主导地位的森林框架：（1） 森林作为复杂的生态系统 （2） 由生物组成，以及 （3） 可持续性作为充足性，重点关注木材消费和全球市场动态的作用。反思和认可它们可以为在气候变化和其他重大变革时期改善林务员和非专家之间的沟通提供机会。此外，我们鼓励使用有利于非正式、面对面审议的环境来引出并纳入传统治理结构中可能无法体现的观点。
