Forest ecosystems are affected by stress induced changes in various ways. Environmental factors that affect trees negatively can be distinguished between biotic and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are non-living such as drought, storm, frost, etc. …
Forest ecosystems respond very sensitively to climate and atmospheric changes. Feedback mechanisms can be measured via changes in albedo, energy balance and carbon storage. The Bavarian Forest National Park is a unique forest ecosystem with large …
Through new operational optical spaceborne sensors (EnMAP and Sentinel-2) the impact analysis of climate change on forest ecosystems will be fostered. This analysis examines the potential of high spectral, spatial and temporal resolution data for …
Der fortschreitende Klimawandel erhöht das Gefährdungspotenzial von Wäldern zunehmend. Eine forstwirtschaftliche Nutzung von Wäldern ist oftmals nur durch den Wechsel auf Baumarten mit größerer Flexibilität gegenüber den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels …
In Central Europe spruce and pine are severely affected by the impacts of climate change. In several regions a significant decline in their distribution is observed. To cope with this threat, the Bavarian State Institute of Forestry produces climate …
