Realization to: 2022
Summary: Assessment of development of forest stands damaged in recent years by exceptional drought and subsequent extensive bark beetle outbreaks. Changes will be analysed combining remote sensing techniques (satellite and unmanned data) and field measurements aiming at: (i) assessing the dynamics of regeneration after disturbance related to the disturbance intensity and type of management measures against bark beetle, (ii) preparing the microclimate atlas requested from the application garant to serve as a support for detailed planning of both management and species protection, (iii) modeling both the forest development (regeneration) after the disturbance and potential threat of plant invasions, and (iv) communicate project results towards application garant and public by collection of maps.
