Biodiversität und Raumentwicklung
|
Das Projekt "Biodiversität und Raumentwicklung" untersucht Zusammenhänge zwischen Biodiversität und Raumentwicklung auf Landschaftsebene. Dafür analysieren wir Daten des Schweizer Mittelands im Allgemeinen sowie der Kantone Aargau und Luzern im Speziellen für möglichst verschiedene Organismengruppen und unterschiedliche Aspekte der Biodiversität. Die Resultate werden kartographisch dargestellt und können zur Visualisierung von Szenarien der Landschaftsentwicklung eingesetzt werden.

WSL Monoplotting-Tool - Reconstructing the landscape dynamic using historical pictures
|
At the WSL in Bellinzona we started developing a new monoplotting interface with the aim of offering an intuitive platform for georeferencing and orthorectifying ordinary individual photographs in order to produce georeferenced vector data by drawing them directly on the pictures and exchanging them with traditional GIS-Systems.

ALP FFIRS ALPine Forest FIre waRning System
|
The project aims to improve forest fire prevention under a changing climate in the Alpine Space, by creating a shared warning system based on weather conditions. The fire regime at any given location is the result of complex interactions between fuels, social issues, topography, ignitions and weather conditions. The analysis of fires frequency and distribution will allow to model forest fire danger in the alpine region.

Wiederbesiedlung der Waldbrandfläche Leuk durch Insekten
|
Nach dem grossen Waldbrand von Leuk 2003 muss die Brandfläche von den meisten Insekten neu besiedelt werden. Wir untersuchen, wie schnell diese Wiederbesiedlung auf verschiedenen Höhenstufen erfolgt und welche Präferenzen die holzbewohnenden Insekten bei der Besiedlung der abgestorbenen Bäume haben.
