Abstract

International audience; All maps of vegetation or habitats are based on a system of classification. For vegetation, this has usually been based on phytosociological synsystems, while classifications of habitats, being more recent, have been produced at national, regional and international levels (e.g. Czech biotopes, Nordic vegetation types and Corine biotopes). This chapter discusses the classification systems in use for mapping vegetation and habitats in different countries, and also the work towards harmonisation at European scale. It introduces the EUNIS habitat classification, proposed as a European standard under the EU INSPIRE Directive (Directive 2007/2/EC), and its crosswalks to and from other typologies. Finally, it presents the habitat typologies used for monitoring, statistical and distribution modelling approaches as developed by the BioHab and EBONE projects.

Abstract

Mention d'édition : Commonwealth Forestry Association; Within the IUFRO beech unit (1.01.07 Ecology and silviculture of beech) we have considered proposing a global beech project. A Fagaceae project including oaks and chestnuts, too, will increase its relevance and applicability across continents. Many embers of the beech family are principal forest tree species of the temperate deciduous forests. The environmental gradients on mountain slopes provide excellent opportunities to study particularly the regeneration physiology, methods and strategies to reveal an important part of the adaptation potential of various species and provenances under various climatic conditions. We will review both findings by researchers and practitioners and emphasize linking the knowledge and valuable cases of forest landscape restoration to goal-oriented adaptation strategies with specified future forest function serving as the red line to guide the selection of desired forest development types and the silviculture needed to achieve them. We seek to identify knowledge gaps and to design research protocols that we find particularly valuable to share in an international forest research network on forest adaptation including the adaptation potential of refugial populations (see also Session A12).

Abstract

Within the general frame of the Aquastress project a regional water balance model (WBM) was developed based on a material flow analysis software application. The aim was to provide a tool to model the dynamics of environment-society interactions in the use of water, as a way to support integrative water management. The WBM appeals to stakeholders in a decision making process and not to researchers or hydrologists. Thus it meets the challenge to simplify the hydrological system of a test site without loosing its main characteristics. The main objective of the WBM is to help identify causes of water stress, taking explicitly into account the interdependencies of water use subsystems. The WBM is primarily designed to be applied at a regional scale and on a monthly basis. Water stress is calculated by computing the water supply and demand in each sub-system or sector. Water cycle components (precipitation, evaporation, ground water storage, etc.) are considered in each subsystem as necessary, according to their specific relevance in the water balance calculation. The model divides a given site into four functional subsystems, generally referred to as sectors. These sectors are: industrial, domestic, agricultural and (semi-)natural. Water flow and use in subsystems are represented by flow arrows and functional units or boxes. Boxes represent places where water is allocated or managed, where water is processed, or where water demand is calculated. Water stress is assessed by comparing water demand and water supply.

Abstract

[Departement_IRSTEA]RE [TR1_IRSTEA]GES / USAGES; This report provides a detailed overview of the development of an integrated tool for evaluation conditions of water stress, to be referred to as the Aquastress Water Stress Matrix (AWSM). This tool combines a selection of information relevant for water management decision making, and has at its core, a composite index of water stress, here referred to as the Aquastress Water Stress Index (AWSI). In addition to this composite index, the details of this index are presented in ways that can be visualised, as a means of overcoming the problem of providing complex water stress information as a single number. The framework allows including further information for decision makers within this matrix, like mapped and photographic evidence relating to the specific site under examination, as well as guidance, using a traffic light approach, on the urgency of the situation.

Abstract

Land cover change in Europe from 1950'ies to 2000 presents part of the work carried out under the framework of the European project "Linking Pan-European Land Cover Change to Pressures on Biodiversity" (BIOPRESS). This book captures the changes in land cover which have been observed from aerial photography between the 1950'ies, 1990'ies and 2000 in 59 exemples distributed across 7 European countries and 5 bio-geographical zones.

Abstract

This paper presents the research carried out for the spatial analysis of historic land cover changes in relation to the exact location of Natura2000 sites within the framework of the BIOPRESS project. The project has been implemented within the EC-FP5 framework to support GMES Global Moni-toring for Environment and Security'. It was the only GMES project realized under the priority theme "Land cover change in Europe. The BIOPRESS consortium consisted of eight international partners and aimed to provide the EU-user community with quantitative information on how changes in land cover and land use have affected the environment and biodiversity in Europe. Our main stakeholder was the European Environment Agency, through its Topic Centres on Biological Diversity (ETC-BD) and the Terrestrial Environment (ETC-TE). The project produced consistent and coherent sets of historical (1950 1990 2000) land cover change information in and around ca. 100 Natura-2000 sites located from the boreal to the Mediterranean, and from the Atlantic to the continental zones of Europe (http://www.creaf.uab.es/biopress/). The paper will focus on the discussion of the results obtained from analysing historic land cover changes in relation to the distance to Natura 2000 sites in order to determine the relevance of protecting precarious habitats. Results obtained already for the Netherlands point out that conservation measurements have a significant influence on the location, extent and types of land cover changes (Hazeu & Mücher, 2005).
