Inventories

Spatially explicit data on forest ecosystems and forest enterprises may be captured by various inventory methods and in consideration of a wide range of questions or issues.

We specialise in the thematic development of inventory methods and procedures, for example with respect to:

• Forest site mapping (Maps | GIS)
• Assessment of biomass potential
• Habitat and biotope type inventory (FFH management plans)
• Biotope mapping
• Inventories related to nature conservation, e.g.,
  • Distribution of habitats or species
  • Amount and characteristics of deadwood
  • Stand structures
• Inventory of browsing (damage)

We apply inventory methods based on point, transect, or plot sampling in combination with the assessment of stand-specific parameters. In addition to using standardised inventory methods like the site mapping according to SEA 95 we develop and apply methods and procedures adapted to specific questions and requests.
