Silvicultural guidelines for forest types in Tyrol - Vole project: innovative forest typology - preventive measures for natural hazards and climate change
Abstract
In the course of the Vole project silvicultural guidelines will be developed for all forest types occurring in Northtyrol in the inneralps 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. 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) and special forest functions (e.g. avalanches, stone guards). A forest site classification map will be provided based on a model that permits a classification on digital geoecological parameters (e.g. height above sea level, substrate, land form, inclination). Based on the map of the forest site classification and desired future conditions management recommendations for the forest types of Tyrol are given.
