Zusammenfassung |
It is expected that the biomass productivity of forest stands will be
influenced by global climate change. In order to adapt forest management to
this fact a model based approach was developed in cooperation with forestry
experts. The concept aims at detecting the link between climate, terrain and
soil parameters with the biomass productivity of some tree species. This
article gives an insight into the first two steps of this approach. At first
the WaSiM-ETH 8.2 model was parameterised to simulate various forest sites.
Furthermore, different drought stress indices were applied to the simulated
water balance time series. The impact of variations of climate, topography
and soil characteristics on water balance was plausibly simulated. All
drought stress indices detected years which were dominated by dry conditions.
However, the indices related to soil water content were more selective than
those related to evapotranspiration. Drought stress indices for one future
climate projection have shown an increasing frequency of drought stress
during vegetation period. Thus, the first two steps are capable components to
detect the link between water balance with climate, terrain and soil
parameters. |
