State of Forest Ecosystems in the Biosphere Reserve "Großes Walsertal" (AT)

On behalf of REGIO Großes Walsertal, E.C.O. is conducting a comprehensive forest condition survey in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. E.C.O. analyzes existing data on tree species mix, wood supply, protective forest function, climate risks and game browsing, develops a well-founded assessment of the current forest situation and compares it with potential natural forest communities. Based on this analysis, E.C.O. is developing a catalog of requirements for future forest monitoring that takes into account climate and biodiversity-relevant indicators. The structured methodological approach and the integration of modern remote sensing and GIS technologies make E.C.O. the central knowledge partner for future-oriented forest management in the biosphere reserve.
