Vegetation surveys to assess the impact of wildlife in the Berchtesgaden National Park

On behalf of the Berchtesgaden National Park Authority, E.C.O. is carrying out comprehensive vegetation monitoring on the effects of herbivory by red deer and chamois in closed forests and open land. E.C.O. designs the methodology, creates 120 study plots, systematically collects vegetation data including additional parameters such as layer cover, browsing traces and habitat characteristics and documents all areas photographically. The surveys are carried out under challenging terrain conditions and provide the basis for further evaluation by the client. E.C.O. thus makes a significant contribution to the scientific foundation of wildlife impact monitoring in the national park.
