	Bavarian Forest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bavarian Forest (German: Bayerischer Wald) is a low mountain range in Bavaria, Germany.
		It extends along the Czech border and is continued on the Czech side by the Šumava (Bohemian Forest).
		Geographically the Bavarian Forest and Bohemian Forest are the same mountain range.

	Breeds of Livestock - Bavarian Forest Sheep
		The Bavarian Forest, the successor of the Bavarian Zaupel, is decreasing in popularity and appears in the Bavarian herdbook only since 1987.
		The forest sheep is still to be classified with the current population size as very endangered.
		The forest sheep is, like formerly the Zaupelschaf, a durable extensive land race with a very calm character, which can compete reliably not with the modern high speed races and may. Its strength is situated in the being sufficient SAMNESS on the one hand and in the high fertility and Asaisonalitaet on the other hand.

		The extraordinary size of the alluvial forest belt (including large recent floodplain meadows) is a biological highlight with an immense diversity of threatened plant communities and habitats (especially in the alluvial forests, backwater areas, litter meadows and calcareous grasslands).
		The forests are oak-hornbeam-lime-tree deciduous forests on the rocky and steep slopes of the river Regen in the lowest regions (400-500 m s.l.) and natural spruce forests on the top of the mountains (higher than 1200 m s.l.).
		The Bavarian Forest is one of the most important regions in Middle Europe for conservation of arctic-alpine species outside of the Alps.

		The Bavarian State Institute of Forestry (LWF) executes the project and processes in particular the user section and the exemplary integration of remote sensing data in survey and planning procedure of the Bavarian State Forest Administration.
		Foresters from different departments and planning levels in the Bavarian State forest administration were asked for their data needs according to the respective focal tasks.
		In the Bavarian State forest administration this is already transfered in the context of the forest managment planning with the help of the aerial photograph and thus the time for terrestic collections is substantially reduced.

		Several Bavarian State Ministries, especially the Ministry for Regional Development and Environmental Affairs, the Ministry of Economy and Transport, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry, and the Ministry of the Interior are responsible for sustainable development in the Alpine Region of Germany.
		Forest damages in the Alpine Region are rated significant/serious (damage levels 2-4 according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe classification).
		Mountain forests are endangered through atmospheric pollutants, abiotic factors (wind storm, snow, ice, frost, fires), biotic factors (insect pests, fungal damage, wildlife browsing), and stresses due to forestry and recreation uses.

		In the Bavarian Alps in southernmost Germany, the landscape is characterized by mountain ranges reaching altitudes of 1000–3000 m and covering areas of typically 50–100 km²;, separated by farmland valleys at 600–900 m altitude and up to a few kilometers wide, and with treelines at 1300–1800 m.
		Forests covered 60–95% of the mountain ranges and ≥90% of all study areas, and were dominated by spruce (Picea abies) mixed with varying percentages of beech (Fagus sylvatica) and fir (Abies alba).
		In the Bavarian Alps, >50% of the landscape is forested.

		This conclusion is corroborated by the measurements of gas exchange in attached branches of spruce trees in the Bavarian Forest (Koch and Lautenschläger, 1989; Koch, in press) and in the Alps (Häsler, 1991; Wieser, Weih and Havranek, 1991).
		The final confirmation of substantially improved forest growth precisely during the period predicted to see the explosion of Waldsterben may be seen in the results of traditional forest inventories, based on periodically repeated volume evaluations in representative stands.
		Waldsterben may be understood as a problem of awareness: forest conditions that were believed to be "normal" in earlier times suddenly became a symbol of the growing fear of the destructive potential of human activities on the environment.

		In forest areas in Bavaria (e.g., near the Oberpfaffenhofen supersite and in the Bavarian Forest) and in the Harz Mountains, shuttle data are to be evaluated for different forest formations, age classes and other forest parameters and for the forest situation, e.g., concerning storm damages.
		In the forest area West of the lake Ammersee, ten landcover classes including five forest types could be classified with an overall classification accuracy of about 63 %, in an area which has a quite inhomogeneous distribution of land cover.
		Forest Monitoring Investigations in the Harz Mountains and in the Bavarian Forest are planned to be performed, based on terrain-corrected, combined SIR-C/X-SAR products from the April and October missions.

		Forest grazing is sometimes one of the causes of damage on the young sprouts.
		Forest fires, delaying or limiting the implementation of the management are the cause of an annual destruction of some 30 000 ha of forests, thus representing the priority forest problem.
		Mountain forests are directly affected in their vital roles on rural population which represents 70% of the total, 90% of them heavily depending from wood as the only source of energy.

	Forest Monitoring using SIR-C/X-SAR in the Testsites Oberpfaffenhofen and Bavarian Forest
		The Nationalpark 'Bavarian Forest' is a densely forested region which is dominated by beech (fagus silvatica) mixed with fir (abies alba) and spruce (picea abies) in the lower areas and by spruce (picea abies) in the higher regions.
		This system of natural forest growth in connection with storm damages and bark beetle infestation within spruce stands in the last few years causes a huge variety of structure in the investigated area.
		As a second step the forested areas were classified into three classes, mixed forest, deciduous with conifer (pure deciduous and mixed deciduous) and conifer with deciduous (pure deciduous and mixed deciduous).

		A set of permanent plots (transect design with 10 to 10 m plots) was established in 1988 in spruce forests of wet and cool valley bottoms in order to document vegetation development.
		In contrast to this, these two stages were restricted to root plates of fallen trees in uncleared windfalls; here shade-tolerant tree species of the terminal forest stages established rather quickly from saplings that had already been present in the preceeding forest stand.
		Soil surface disturbances are identified to be causal to the "management pathway" of forest development, wereas the "untouched pathway" is caused by relatively low disturbance levels.
