Table 12 Detailed descriptive statistics of adaptive measures on stand level. Displayed are percentages of past implementation (PI) as well as mean scores (M) and standard deviations (SD) of intention to implement these (IT), and attitude (AT), social norm (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) towards them. Listed are values of small-scale private forests (SPF), medium-scale private forests, large-scale private forests (LPF), corporate forests (CF), and state forests (SF)
