Agentbased mapping of disturbances in Austrias forest
Abstract
Several recent studies found evidence for increasing forest disturbances throughout Europe and especially in Austria. While large scale data on forest disturbances was lacking for the most of the time, remote sensing methods enabled scientists to overcome this barrier. This lead to historic disturbance maps for several European countries, which distinguish reliably between disturbed and undisturbed forest areas. Besides that, a major remaining challenge lays in determining the causes for these observed disturbance patches. Therefore we employ field work and statistical modelling to quantify the agent-based disturbance regimes in Austria’s forest.
