Preventive strategies to reduce the risk of woody debris

The project aims to find sustainable and effective solutions to reduce woody debris. General guidelines for torrent control management with reference to woody debris will be created based on a review of the literature and analysis of case studies. This study addresses the opportunities and contribution of soil bioengineering, forestry management and technical options to minimise the risk of woody debris. All forest and bioengineering processes, such as disposition, urgent measures and maintenance, will be discussed in detail aiming for a code of practice.
