Großflächige Identifizierung von Alt- und Totholzstandorten mit Habitat-Tradition

For the collection of primeval forest relict species, you need to identify the old and dead wood stocks first, to check in another step their habitat tradition. In addition to a recent occurrence of stocks ‒ of at least 160 years old ‒, other factors also play an essential role, such as historical forms of utilization, complications in sylviculture like steep slopes or azonal location conditions. Within the BBV-project „development and support of old and dead wood biocenoses“, a GIS-based method for spatial analysis was developed and checked, concerning to the practicability, so that a nationwide collection of such old and dead wood locations, with a long habitat tradition, can be implemented.
