Natura 2000 forest management guidelines for the Wachau
Abstract
In the course of the project silvicultural guidelines will be developed for forest types occurring in the Wachau in close co-operation with local foresters. Local experiences and experiments, existing literature and existing concepts so far available will be used to work out the guidelines for conservation and management activities according to NATURA 2000. A handbook of practice for the local foresters is to be provided which allows to identify relevant information about all forest types like climate, location, soil, geology, vegetation, inventory characteristics, development and management (e.g. tree species recommendations, tending concepts). As a basis for the guidelines the present actual condition (current vegetation) and the desired future conditions, which is derived from the PNWG (potential natural vegetation) are used.
