Project goals and fields of work

•  To make digital maps available (for the wilderness potential)for all forested areas in the Bavarian Alps and north Tyrol
• Production of a handbook for the site-specific management, nurturing  and restoration of mountain forests
•  Establishment of a geographical information system (GIS), which allows adjustments to be made according to changed climatic conditions
• Interface-appropriate transfer of the GIS products to forest administrations

• Erection of a GIS with high-definition geological maps, digital altitude models and climate maps
• Definition of user requirements vis-à-vis  the information system
• Derivation of the ecologically relevant geo-parameters for the whole project area
• Modelling of the forest maps into scale-size 1:25,000 for the whole project area, including verification and recalibration
• Modelling of special maps
• Alternative modelling with climate-change scenarios
• Development of a handbook for forest-type-specific management, nurturing and restoration of mountain forests
• Introduction of the system into practical use, information and training of multiplicators
