Special Research Program: Restoration of forest ecosystems.
Abstract
In July 1997 the Forestry Section at the Universität für Bodenkultur Wien, Austria launched a ten year research program to study forest ecosystem restoration processes and evaluate the stability and resilience during the restoration phase into mixed species stands. The need of forest restoration was noticed during the early 1980s, when researches emphasized that symptoms of forest decline can be considered as a mixed effect of both air pollution and historical changes in land use. Twenty three scientists covering research fields from ecology to socio-economics, participate within the program. Forest ecosystem modeling and the development of a meta data oriented information system will link data and research results. Funding comes from the Austrian Science Foundation, the Ministry of Science and Traffic, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the City of Vienna.
