https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2020.106048

Railway networks are linear landscape elements that are mostly accompanied by adjacent lineside vegetation. In order to maintain safe railway operation, lineside vegetation must be continuously monitored and maintained. A large-scale assessment approach to identify safety-relevant woody vegetation structures along a railway corridor is presented in this paper. Based on accurate surface and terrain data, precise models of the lineside vegetation and the railway corridor were created for a study site. A proximity analysis was performed to assess elements of woody vegetation that are tall enough and close enough to strike the railway infrastructure in the case of failure. Information about the vegetation type and the geometric position of identified safety-relevant vegetation is provided in hazard classes. Falling curves of safety-relevant vegetation were calculated to indicate areas where trees pose a potential risk to the railway track. Analysis of datasets from 2012 and 2017 shows a dynamic development of safety-relevant vegetation along the railway corridor between the two studied years. A vegetation risk index (VRI) was calculated for the study site. Both sections of high presence and sections where safety-relevant vegetation is completely absent could be identified. The study has confirmed that airborne remote sensing technologies have great potential to provide data for large-scale lineside vegetation assessments. Through a combination of airborne laser scanning data and high resolution orthophotos, safety-relevant vegetation could be mapped successfully. The presented approach can support tree care management and contribute to maintaining safe and functional lineside vegetation.

Urban forest edge management

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]URBAN FOREST EDGE MANAGEMENT –

A COMPARISON STUDY OF THE APPLICATION OF COPPICING IN ALNARP (SE), SALZBURG AND VIENNA (AT)

Master’s thesis for being awarded the academic title Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna

Magdalena Kofron (B. Sc.)

Bregenz, June 2020

Researchers have witnessed increasing landscape fragmentation, generated by the enormous land area consumption of urbanisation. This landscape fragmentation is the reason for a negative ratio of the length of circumference to area of a biotope. The resulting forest edges cannot be undone, hence best possible management is necessary in order to maintain the ecological services from these green patches. This thesis is devoted to coppicing as a method to preserve and enhance biodiversity, structure and subsequently the edges’ resiliance within an urban and urbanised context. Three different forest edges, in Alnarp (SE), Salzburg and Vienna (AT), were mapped according to biometric parameters, including; plant height, crown area, stem diameter, circumference, height of the coppiced stool and the number of stems. Subsequently, the data was compared by employing descriptive statistics, ANOVA and the Pearson correlation test.

The results indicated that (1) a well-adjusted and dynamic management plan reconciles the aimed for target vegetation, with the option to adapt management to react on species competition. It further suggests that coppicing is (2) most suitable in rather low forest edge stands, in terms of structural development, by virtue of better light conditions above ground level. Lastly, the results stress the (3) integral role of plant reaction to disturbances in order to avoid a negative plant competition, and hence, a deterioration in structure and species composition. This was observed in Alnarp and Vienna where the Shannon diversity index (SDI) after coppicing was 1.25 and 1.5, respectively. However, Salzburg was in a rather good condition and had a SDI of 2.01.

This work concludes that there is great potential to apply coppicing in urban forest edges, in order to foster structural components and enhance biodiversity that can cope with the environmental and climatic challenges in urban and urbanised landscapes. It further encourages researchers to test alternatives to the typical coppice species. Especially regarding climate change exotic plants in urban forest edges may serve well without outcompeting native species.

Keywords: Coppice management structure, biodiversity, management method, urban forest edges, urban forestry, Shannon-diversity-index, resilience[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”verde”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Die Fragmentierung der Landschaft ist ein Prozess, der durch einen hohen Flächenverbrauch und die Urbanisierung vorangetrieben wird. Eine von vielen Folgen dieses Geschehens ist die Zerschneidung zusammenhängender Biotope und ein damit einhergehendes Missverhältnis zwischen der Gesamtfläche eines Biotops und der Länge des Umfangs dieser Fläche. Deutlich zeigt sich diese Entwicklung bei Stadtwäldern. Der tatsächliche Waldbestand wird im Verhältnis zur Waldrandfläche immer kleiner. Basierend auf europäischen Bemühungen wie der Strategie zur Grünen Infrastruktur oder der Strategie zur Förderung der Artenvielfalt ist eine enorme ökologische Bedeutung auf städtische Waldränder als Pufferzone zwischen Natur und Mensch zurückzuführen. Um eine bestmögliche Funktionalität der Waldränder im Sinne der Ökosystemleistungen und der Resilienz zu erhalten, ist die Pflege ein integraler Bestandteil zur Erreichung der Ziele. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird untersucht, welche Auswirkungen der Stockschnitt als Pflegemaßnahme auf den Waldrand hat. Hierzu wurden drei unterschiedliche Waldrandabschnitte in Alnarp (Schweden), Salzburg und Wien (Österreich), in denen der Stockschnitt praktiziert wurde, kartiert und untersucht. Erhoben wurden biometrische Daten wie Höhe der Bäume und Sträucher, Kronendurchmesser, Stammdurchmesser, Stockumfang, Stockhöhe und die Anzahl der Stämme nach Stockausschlag. Die Daten wurden mithilfe der deskriptiven Statistik gesichtet und aufbereitet. Fernen wurden der Pearson’s Korrelationstest sowie eine ANOVA eingesetzt.

Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass (1) ein angepasster und flexibler Pflegeplan von großer Bedeutung ist, um eine vorher festgelegte Zielvegetation zu etablieren und gegebenenfalls rasch auf unerwartete Ereignisse reagieren zu können. Weiters hat sich gezeigt, dass (2) der niedrigste Waldrand in Salzburg am struktur- und artenreichsten ist. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass der Stockschnitt die Lichtverhältnisse im Waldrand begünstigt und eine positive Entwicklung eingeleitet hat. Außerdem ist die Prüfung, ob jene Pflanzen, die auf den Stock gesetzt worden sind, ähnlich reagieren, unerlässlich, um Dysbalancen innerhalb des Biotops zu vermeiden. Bestärkt wird diese Annahme durch die Ergebnisse des Shannon-Diversity-Index in Alnarp und Wien, die verhältnismäßig niedrig ausgefallen sind mit 1, 25 und 1,5. In Salzburg ergab der Index 2,01 im Vergleich.

Aus dieser Arbeit geht hervor, dass Stockschnitt in städtischen Waldrändern einen positiven Effekt hat auf die Vegetationsstruktur sowie die Biodiversität. Ferner wird davon ausgegangen, dass der Stockschnitt eine kontinuierliche Verjüngung garantiert trotz sich klimatisch verändernder Bedingungen und des anthropogen verursachten Nutzungsdrucks. Die Arbeit soll Forscher*innen ermutigen, zukünftig vertiefend das Ausschlagsverhalten von Gehölzen zu untersuchen – insbeondere von jenen, die als Klimabaumarten ausgewiesen worden sind – um diese künftig gezielt in Waldränder einzubringen.

Bioingeniería del paisaje. Ciclo de charlas/webinars

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]LA BIOINGENIERÍA DEL PAISAJE es una disciplina técnico-científica en la cual las plantas se utilizan como elementos de construcción, conjuntamente o no con elementos inertes (piedra, madera, metal…) en actuaciones de recuperación del entorno tanto en el control de la erosión superficial como en la estabilización de taludes.

Actualmente la crisis climática y el impacto a la biodiversidad está provocando efectos secundarios como la oruga (Cydalimaperspectalis) que está matando al boj Buxussempervirens; la quitridiomicosis, causada por un hongo, que está afectando a los anfibios; la Cryphonectriaparasitica, conocido como chancro, un hongo que está afectando a los castaños…y el COVID 19 que está afectando a la humanidad.

Una de las muchas pequeñas grandes soluciones es la de trabajar con recursos locales y sostenibles, es también trabajar aprovechando los servicios ecosistémicos… y la Bioingeniería del Paisaje es una disciplina que sirve como una herramienta muy valiosa. Con estas charlas pretendemos actualizar la información sobre todo lo que ya se ha llevado a cabo y plantear los retos de futuro de nuestra disciplina.

Webinar 1:

¿Por qué proyectar con Bioingeniería del Paisaje? Retos y oportunidades en escenarios de cambio global

Paola Sangalli /  Paolo Cornellini • 14 OCTUBRE 2020[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”verde”][vc_column][vc_column_text]SOIL AND WATER BIOENGINEERING is a technical-scientific discipline in which plants serve as construction elements in environmental recovery actions. Here, the living materials can be used alone or accompanied by other inert elements (stones, wood, metals …) in controlling surface erosion and in slope stabilization.

Currently the climate crisis and the impact on biodiversity is causing secondary effects such as the caterpillar (Cydalimaperspectalis) that is killing the boxwood Buxus sempervirens; chytridiomycosis, caused by a fungus, which is affecting amphibians worldwide; Cryphonectriaparasitica, known as chancre, a fungus that is affecting chestnut trees … and also COVID 19 that is affecting humanity.

One of the many great little solutions is to work with local and sustainable resources, as it also is to  benefit from ecosystem services … and, again, Soil and Water Bioengineeringis a discipline that serves as a very valuable tool. With these talks we intend to provide the state of the art of landscape bioengineering, analysing its past, present and the future challenges of our discipline.

Urban Green Infrastructure for Climate-Proof and Healthy Cities

boku

In the light of climate change adaptation, urban green (and blue) infrastructures are becoming increasingly recognized, referring to urban and settlement planning and the design of climate-adapted housings and buildings. Green and plant-based solutions (such as green roofing, green façading, street and open space greenery, etc.) have become an issue in combatting urban heat and associated health stresses. The purpose of this issue is to provide up-to-date knowledge in technologies, planning and implementation of urban green infrastructure in order to advance urban sustainability and secure healthy and climate-proof urban environments.

We invite authors to submit articles to this Special Issue on urban green infrastructure related to the broader spectrum of technical and natural, social and medical science and the evaluation of these aspects in urban and peri-urban settings. We welcome theoretical and empirical contributions as well as review articles, and the submission of research work by interdisciplinary teams and international groups is of significant interest.

TERMIN : 31 .05.2021

Deadline 31/05/2021

DWA-M 620-1 – BAUWEISEN leaflet

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]gesellschaft2[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]DWA-M 620-1 – BAUWEISEN (6/2020)

In order to make Soil and Water bioengineering Techniques  accessible to as large a group of users as possible, the aim of the leaflet is to improve the application principles and to specify standards for the selection, planning and application of Soil and Water Bioengineering methods in hydraulic engineering. On the one hand, this should enable the solution of complex tasks, which require a classic planning process with several successive service phases, by means of biological engineering measures. On the other hand, the leaflet should also provide the basics for the simple planning and implementation of tasks that can be solved by the maintenance porter himself. Where there is sufficient experience and there is only a low risk of errors or damage, there is usually no need for time-consuming calculations, planning or the like.

The leaflet focuses on biological engineering construction methods on inland rivers such as streams, rivers, brooks and ditches, primarily in the hills and mountains. These can carry water permanently or temporarily, near-natural or remote or strongly anthropogenically influenced rivers.

The target group are employees of construction and maintenance carriers who are responsible for the expansion, maintenance and development of rivers (state and federal authorities, municipalities, maintenance associations, etc.), representatives of the authorities, in particular of water management, nature conservation and forest administrations, land consolidation authorities, planning offices different specialist disciplines commissioned with the planning of development, expansion or maintenance measures on bodies of water, implementation companies that work on the implementation of the above measures and landscape conservation associations, voluntary nature conservation, nature conservation associations.

Merkblatt DWA-M 620-1 – Ingenieurbiologische Bauweisen an Fließgewässern – Teil 1: Grundlagen und Bauweisenauswahl – Juni 2020

Um ingenieurbiologische Bauweisen einem möglichst großen Anwenderkreis zugänglich zu machen, hat das Merkblatt zum Ziel, die Anwendungsgrundlagen zu verbessern und Standards für die Auswahl, Planung und Anwendung ingenieurbiologischer Bauweisen im Wasserbau zu benennen. Damit soll einerseits die Lösung komplexer Aufgabenstellungen, die einen klassischen Planungsprozess mit mehreren aufeinander folgenden Leistungsphasen erfordert, mittels ingenieurbiologischer Maßnahmen ermöglicht werden. Andererseits soll das Merkblatt auch die Grundlagen zur einfachen Planung und Umsetzung von Aufgaben bereitstellen, die vom Unterhaltungslastträger selbst gelöst werden können. Wo ausreichend Erfahrung vorliegt und nur ein geringes Fehler- bzw. Schadensrisiko besteht, müssen meist keine aufwendigen Berechnungen, Planungen oder Ähnliches durchgeführt werden.

Das Merkblatt behandelt schwerpunktmäßig ingenieurbiologische Bauweisen an Fließgewässern des Binnenlandes wie Ströme, Flüsse, Bäche bis hin zu Gräben, vorrangig im Hügel- und Bergland. Diese können permanent oder temporär Wasser führen, naturnahe oder naturferne bzw. stark anthropogen beeinflusste Fließgewässer sein.

Zielgruppe sind Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter von Baulast- und Unterhaltungslastträgern, die für Ausbau sowie Pflege und Entwicklung von Fließgewässern verantwortlich sind (Landes- und Bundesbehörden, Kommunen, Unterhaltungsverbände etc.), Behördenvertreter, insbesondere der Wasserwirtschafts-, Naturschutz- und Forstverwaltungen, Flurbereinigungsbehörden, Planungsbüros unterschiedlicher Fachdisziplinen, die mit der Planung von Entwicklungs-, Ausbau- oder Unterhaltungsmaßnahmen an Gewässern beauftragt sind, Ausführungsbetrieben, die an der Umsetzung der oben genannten Maßnahmen mitarbeiten und Landschaftspflegeverbände, ehrenamtlicher Naturschutz, Naturschutzverbände. https://webshop.dwa.de/de/dwa-m-620-1-bauweisen-6-2020.html[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
