Climate Change, Impacts and Adaptation Strategies in the Alpine Space. Developing practical guidelines for forest management in Lower Austria under changing climate.
Abstract
In this research project a computer based decision support tool is developed for selected regions in Lower Austria which aims at: (1) identifyinga specific site in the knowledge base of the DSS (2) identifying a specific stand type in the data base of the DSS (3) predicting likely consequences of a changing climate under several silvicultural treatment schemes (4) indicator-based risk assessment (5) classifying the potential for broadleaved timber production (6) based on risk assessment and production potentials derive management objectives and related treatment schemes. (7) provide links and info on related trial stands. The project aims at contributing to the extension services of the regional forest authorities in Lower Austria, and thus contribute to the development of rural areas.
