	02/14/01 -- Sumava National Park in Czech Republic Threatened
		Bavarian Forest National Park is proclaimed on the German side of the border.
		Even if the foresters were not removing timber out of the core zones, the continuous development of the habitats was broken and the whole purpose of existence of the National Park was cast into doubt.
		Write letters to Czech government officials to request an immediate ban on logging in the core and virgin forest zones of the Sumava National park, re-evaluation of timber extraction policy in buffer zones, and expansion and connection of the currently fragmented core zones to occupy at least 40% of the park's area.

	Park Science--Volume 21(1)--Fall/Winter 2001--Notes from Abroad--(page 1 of 2)
		Germany's first national park was established in the Bavarian Forest in 1970 with the objective of attracting tourists to its remote location.
		In this respect national parks in Germany and the United States are similar, and, as you will see, an intriguing blend of both similarities and differences in the history and management of the two park systems exists.
		Although some politicians were inspired by the national park idea, their plans failed, in part, because Germany lacked pristine areas and the concept of transition parks had not been established.

	Countrygoer Europe: The Bohemian Forest
		The National Park Authority, concerned about environmental impact of traffic in their National Park - including the impact of exhaust emissions on the ecology of the area - has, over the last few years, pursued a policy of gradually restricting traffic, eliminating unsightly roadside parking and even closing some cul-de-sac forest roads to traffic.
		Close co-operation between the two National Parks is most graphically illustrated by the foot and cycle-only frontier crossing at Bucina (terminus of the Bavarian bike bus) where you can either cycle into the Czech Republic or walk 500 metres to catch the Šumava National Park bus to the mountain resort of Kvilda.
		Many of the quiet lanes and forest roads have remained closed to traffic since the National Park was created in 1991, and there are over 135km of traffic free cycle trails as well as an extensive network of quiet roads.

		The composition and diversity of the bryophyte flora of four 13-yr-old windthrow gaps and their adjacent forest stands was studied in the Bavarian Forest National Park, south eastern Germany.
		The forest floor of cleared gaps is heavily disturbed which promotes the development of a dense cover of grass.
		It is suggested that the higher diversity in unmanaged gaps is mainly due to the formation of additional habitats (treefall pits and mounds) while most of the forest floor and its vegetation remains intact.

		The determination of forest height has been shown to be feasible from both Lidar and interferometric SAR, and can serve as an input parameter to estimate forest biomass, which is the most important forest structural parameter.
		A special focus was put upon the relation of the extracted heights to the h100 as an approximation of the upper canopy height, and the influence of forest type and density.
