Subjective risk perception:
• Consequentialist perspective - the consequences of a decision
alternative determine risk perception (an expected utility
model) (e.g., Payne et al. 1993)
• The risk-as-feeling hypothesis - both cognitive evaluations of
risks and feelings experienced when making

A low is approaching Iceland Saturday morning and high precipitation levels are forecast until early Sunday morning for much of S- and W-Iceland.
Heavy rainfall is expected in the southeastern part of the country, leading

and properly understood, if availability of forest bioenergy is estimated. In addition, the sustainability of the production in the management of forests will be ensured by assessing the environmental side effects and risks of the production. This analysis identifies the management regimes optimal in production of forest biomass for energy, with minimizing risks and adapting the production systems
