Year Established
1988
Purpose
The entire project data and information are used for developing systemic indicator models and understanding ecosystems as interactive in the landscape context with special regard of ecosystem integrity. Whilst the work is mainly based on existing results and maps, monitoring data on forest in compliance with the regulations of ICP-forests manual will be available furthermore. The installed instruments will be driven by an authority specialized on forest observation. Recently, the object of research on human-environment systems has been extended, and it was carried out detailed studies on the potential of landscapes and ecosystems for the provision of ecosystem services.
