Collaborative project: Adaptive risk management in oak and pine forests vulnerable to drought via integrative evaluation and flexible damage thresholds (ARTEMIS)
Project
Project code: 22020618, C045
Contract period: 01.07.2019
- 31.03.2023
Budget: 338,811 Euro
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
Keywords: Digitalization, plant health, oak, pine, forest protection, risk management
The project is carried out in close cooperation between the state forest research agencies that are responsible for the reference region and function as transmitters between applied research and forest enterprises. Stakeholders from differing backgrounds will be involved to identify the expectations and needs placed upon the forests which define the intensity of forest protection measures to be implemented. New and adaptive decision support tools shall be developed that reflect the regionally-specific set of conditions. They relate to the wide area of forest lands composed of oak and Scots pine in the Southeast and Northeast of Germany which are facing increased risk levels by prolonged drought periods and heat waves. For insect species with mass outbreak potential, monitoring and damage assessment procedures shall be updated to form a reliable basis for the possible application of insecticides. Flexible thresholds for "acceptable" damages shall be established. Their definition will be supported by wide-ranging consequence analyses incorporating variable societal and political context conditions. At the Bavarian State Institute of Forestry the project focuses on the oak pest organisms implementing historic data from monitoring and damage assessment and detailed research in an actually running wide-range outbreak and control measures of the Gypsy Moth. Damage assessments based on the regionally-specific set of forest functions will be translated into quantifiable predictions of social, economic, and ecological consequences to complement and replace the hitherto threshold of the expected total loss of the forest cover as a necessary condition for insecticide applications. This will lead to a catalog of regionally specific forest protection management options in oak and pine forests in the project region. It will include an array of "best practice" references that may finally contribute to the application of the methodology on the even larger federal level
