  • Press Informations About Bavarian Forest National Park
    Nationalparkverwaltung Bayerischer Wald PRESS INFORMATION Bavarian Forest National Park Profile Location The Bavarian Forest National Park is located in eastern Lower Bavaria, close to the border with the Czech Republic. This large protected area is managed by the Nationalparkverwaltung Bayerischer Wald (Bavarian Forest National Park Administration), a special authority directly subordinate to the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection. Together with the neighbouring Šumava National Park in the Czech Republic, the Bavarian Forest National Park makes up part of the largest interconnected protected area of forest in Central Europe. Foundation On 11 June 1969, the Bavarian Parliament voted unanimously in favour of the resolution approving the establishment of a national park in the area between the mountains of Rachel and Lusen. On 7 October 1970, a large protected area some 13,000 hectares in size was opened in Freyung-Grafenau County as Germany’s first national park. Expansion On 1 August 1997, the National Park was extended by 11,000 hectares in the Falkenstein-Rachel area of Regen County. Size 24,250 hectares, 17,516 hectares of which is natural zone – 72.3 percent of the overall surface area (as of 2019). Philosophy Guided by its principle of “Letting nature be natural”, the National Park leaves forests, bogs, streams and mountaintops to develop into a boundless woodland wilderness according to their own laws. This approach helps the commercial woodlands of yesterday become the primeval forest of tomorrow – fostering unique biodiversity in the process. Rare animals like the lynx, capercaillie, Ural owl and other species native to primeval forests, like saproxylic beetles, can then resettle in the region over time.

Up to now no standard methods exist to estimate herba- ceous biomass on a landscape level for temperate forests, which are characterised by deciduous trees with closed canopies. Quantity and quality of the herbaceous forage accessible to herbivores can be estimated from estimated cover in vegetation plot data and information on biomass and element con- centrations in plant species. Vegetation was sampled stratified by community types and forest developmental phases in Bavarian Forst National Park, Germany. We adopted the PhytoCalc model to estimate biomass and bioelement stocks from vegetation plot data and adjusted species assignments and absolute levels of biomass to the conditions in the national park. We categorised attractiveness of plant species as forage for red deer (Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus).

Large, severe disturbances drive many forest ecosystems over the long term, but pose management uncertainties when human experience with them is limited. Recent continent- scale outbreaks of bark beetles across the temperate Northern Hemisphere have raised major concerns as to whether coniferous forests will regenerate back towards pre-outbreak condition and meet possible reforestation objectives. To date, however, analyses of post-outbreak regen- eration across broad spatial and temporal scales have been rare, and entirely lacking for many regions. 2. Following a series of large, severe (~99% overstorey mortality) outbreaks of spruce bark beetles Ips typographus in Central Europe, we capitalized on an extensive forest inventory data set (n = 615 plots across ~7000 ha) to evaluate regeneration dynamics in Norway spruce Picea abies forests across the Bohemian Forest Ecosystem (spanning Germany and the Czech Repub- lic).

  • Progress of Forest Regeneration After a Large-Scale Ips Typographus Outbreak in the Subalpine Picea Abies Forests of the Bavarian Forest National Park
    Silva Gabreta vol. 15 (1) p. 49–66 Vimperk, 2009 Progress of forest regeneration after a large-scale Ips typographus outbreak in the subalpine Picea abies forests of the Bavarian Forest National Park Marco Heurich Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald, Freyunger Straße 2, D-94481 Grafenau, Germany [email protected] Abstract The Bavarian Forest National Park is the oldest National Park in Germany. The overall management concept within the park is the protection of unaltered natural processes. The outbreak of a spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) infestation in 1993 has especially affected the subalpine range of the park with its high pro- portion of spruce trees. This paper describes a study on how forest regeneration was affected by the process of the large-scale die off of forest trees. For this purpose, surveys from a total of 572 samples from the years 1991, 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2005 were available. Compared to 1991, when the regeneration density was 978 trees per hectare, it had increased to 4502 trees per hectare in 2005. The distribution of the regeneration has also changed. While in 1998, only 36.7% or the inventory plots were found to have a density of greater than 1000 plants per hectare, this value had increased to 62.4% by 2005. No regeneration was found in only 0.9% of the inventory plots. Regeneration consisted mostly of Norway spruce (89.0%) and mountain ash (7.9%). European beech (1.9%) and all other tree species (1.2%) were much less significant. In addition, the propor- tion of tree heights has clearly shifted to taller trees.

  • Simulation of Meteorological Conditions in the Bohemian Forest
    Silva Gabreta vol. 24 p. 69–84 Vimperk, 2018 Simulation of meteorological conditions in the Bohemian Forest Beate Klöcking Bureau of Applied Hydrology, Murnauer Str. 102a, D-81379 München, Germany [email protected] Abstract Knowledge of the meteorological conditions is essential for many applications, among those also for many research fields. Here, a reliable meteorological database for the extended area of the Bohemian Forest was developed. Meteorological data from 211 observation points were collected over a time span of 35 years. These data served as the basis for the simulation of climate conditions in the 4500 km2 sized area with a spatial resolution of 100×100 m2, as well as for the individual research plots of the “Silva Gabreta Monitor- ing” project. The simulation was performed using the geostatistical interpolation techniques included in the catchment model ArcEGMO. Keywords: meteorological data, climate regionalisation, Bavarian Forest, Šumava INTRODUCTION Knowledge of the meteorological conditions at individual plots or spatially distributed over the whole area is essential for many research projects in the Bohemian Forest. Meteorologi- cal parameters have been monitored at individual sites, and by different institutions. There- fore, the quantity and quality of the different data series differ from site to site. Thus, the problem for any more sophisticated study such as the “Silva Gabreta Monitoring” projects was to get a reliable and consistent spatial distribution of the meteorological conditions over the whole study area from these station-based data. The specific topographic conditions of this low mountain lead to a huge heterogeneity, especially in air temperature and wind veloc- ity even at the smallest scale.
