Final Meeting Development of Harmonised Indicators and Estimation Procedures for Forests with Protective Functions against Natural Hazards in the Alpine Space Harmonised indicators
2
Final Meeting Indicators selected for: –Forest area -Coarse scale -Fine scale –Hazard Potential –Damage Potential –Protective effect -Coarse scale -Fine scale
3
Final Meeting Forest area: –Coarse and fine scale -According FAO -Minimum crown cover -Minimum area -Minimum height
4
Final Meeting Forest area: –Coarse and fine scale -According FAO -Minimum crown cover 30% -Minimum area5000m² -Minimum height2m
5
Final Meeting Hazard potential: –Coarse and fine scale -Avalanche -Snow height -Snow cover region and altitude -Slope -Planar curvature -Minimum forest area
6
Final Meeting Hazard potential: Avalanche Alpine Region Altitudinal zone (hazard potential) CodeRegion 12 Austria A100Vorarlberg ≥ 700 m≥ 900 m A210Northern Alps – West Zone ≥ 800 m≥ 1 000 m A220Northern Alps – Middle Zone ≥ 750 m≥ 1 000 m A230Northern Alps – East Zone ≥ 700 m≥ 900 m A310Western Central Alps – West Zone ≥ 900 m≥ 1 100 m A320Western Central Alps – Middle Zone ≥ 1 250 m≥ 1 700 m A330Western Central Alps – East Zone ≥ 900 m≥ 1 400 m A400Eastern Central Alps ≥ 800 m≥ 1 000 m

Final Meeting Protective effect: –Avalanche -Fine scale -Gap length Slope (°)Critical gap length (m) 3060 3550 40 4530
17
Final Meeting Protective effect: –Rockfall -Coarse scale -Forested slope length -Basal area
18
Final Meeting Protective effect: –Rockfall -Coarse scale -Forested slope length (>200m) -Basal area Basal areaLevel of protective effect of forest ≥ 25 m 2 /ha1 – high 15 – 25 m 2 /ha2 – medium < 15 m 2 /ha3 – low
19
Final Meeting Protective effect: –Rockfall -Fine scale -Forested slope length -Fraction of gaps -Stem density -DBH -(Stone size)
20
Final Meeting Protective effect: –Rockfall -Fine scale -Forested slope length ( > 200m %) -Fraction of gaps (gap < 25%)
