Contract period: 01.03.2007 - 31.05.2010
Budget: 762,372 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

The work package 'risk assessment of abiotic damage' is processed by the Institute of Bioclimatology at Goettingen University and by the Institute of Forest Ecology and Forest Inventory at Federal Research Centre for Forestry and Forest Products. It is aimed at (1) downscaling od climate modelling results on regional and local scale and (2) developing of an sub-module for the decision support system. This provides quantitative assessments of abiotic risks due to storm and drought events for selected forest stands according to climate data and forest dynamics.
