Forest disturbances, risks

Through transnational cooperation a wide range of inventories of existing road infrastructure will be accessible, ​ different requirements will be met and a ​ homogeneous model will be established. ​ ICT applications will be developed to improve the efficiency of use and​ propose improvements on the maintenance​ ​Forest fire fighting vehicles will be equipped with GNSS receivers in order to improve time response and increase fuel savings.​ ​Fire specialists will be able to use network analysis for resources planning, locating most suitable places for ground means waiting areas or identifying forest surfaces where takes longer to access. ​ ​Other actors involved in emergencies will be able to use web management applications and public information.

Το έργο πρόκειται να δημιουργήσει μια ανοιχτή και ολοκληρωμένη πλατφόρμα που θα περιλαμβάνει ένα Σύστημα Υποστήριξης Αποφάσεων για δασικές πυρκαγιές. Η πλατφόρμα θα χρησιμοποιεί πληροφορίες από διαφορετικές πηγές: παρατηρήσεις γης από το Copernicus και το GEOSS, αισθητήρες πυρκαγιάς στα δάση, τοπογραφικά δεδομένα, καιρικές προγνώσεις και ακόμη και δεδομένα από πολλούς πόρους από κοινωνικά μέσα και άλλες εφαρμογές που μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν από πολίτες και πρώτους ανταποκριτές για να παρέχουν πληροφορίες πεδίου.

The project is going to create an open and integrated platform featuring a forest fire Decision Support System. The platform will use information from different sources: earth observations from Copernicus and GEOSS, fire sensors in forests, topographic data, weather forecasts and even crowdsourced data from social media and other apps that can be used by citizens and first responders to provide situational in-field information.

V okviru nacionalne gozdne inventure (NGI) poteka monitoring in premerba slovenskih gozdov. V okviru NGI dobimo podatke o sestavi, stanju, razširjenosti in velikosti naših gozdov. Ti podatki so pomembni za spremljanje sprememb gozdov skozi čas, za razvoj ustreznih ukrepov politike in za nadaljnjo podporo trajnostnemu gospodarjenju z gozdovi. Osnovo za popis predstavlja sistematični vzorec ploskev na 4km x 4km mreži. Izbor popisnih ploskev poteka na podlagi uporabe lidarskih in letalskih posnetkov. Z njihovo pomočjo se izloči ploskve, ki niso locirane v gozdu, prav tako pa so v pomoč pri ocenjevanju gozdov na nedostopnih točkah. Pri terenskem popisu se uporablja za ta namen razvita aplikacija za zajem podatkov. Ta popisovalca vodi skozi postopek popisa, hkrati pa so podatki že digitalizirani in pripravljeni za nadaljno obdelavo. Aplikacija je povezana tudi z GPE napravo, ki omogoča natančno določitev vzorčne točke.

Within National Forest Inventory (NFI) forests of Slovenia are monitored and measured. NFI provides extensive and in depth survey of all slovenia forests, including informations about composition, condition, distribution and size of our forests. It is of great importance for monitoring changes of forests through time, for developing suitable policy measures and for further support of sustainable management of forests. The basis for the inventory is a systematic sample of plots on a 4km x 4km grid. The selection of inventory plots is based on the use of lidar and aerial images. With their help, plots that are not located in the forest are eliminated, and they are also helpful in assesment of forests at inaccessible plots. A special data acquisition application was developed for the purpose of field inventory. This guides the enumerator through the inventory process, and at the same time the data is already digitized and ready for further processing. The application is also connected to a GPE device, which allows the precise determination of the sampling point.

Varstvo gozdov Slovenije je spletni portal na katerem dostopamo do priročnika za ugotavljanje vzrokov poškodb drevja, edukativnega gradiva, poročil, podatkih o sanitarni sečnji, informacijah o karantenski škodljivi organizmi napovedi pojava škodljivih dejavnikov za gozd. S priročnikom lahko na različne načine poiščete povzročitelja poškodb drevja. Priročnik vsebuje opise povzročiteljev, njihovo biologijo, razširjenost, slikovno gradivo in drugo. Vsebuje tudi slovar strokovnih pojmov. V novicah so predstavljeni aktualni problemi v varstvu gozdov, opisi biotskih in abiotskih škodljivih dejavnikov za gozd in novosti iz področja varstva gozdov. Gradivo je razdeljeno na izobraževalno gradivo, poročila, sanitarni posek, izračun volumna dreves, predpisi, programi preiskav škodljivih organizmov rastlin, Boletus informaticus, Mikoteka GIS. Na portalu najdemo informacije o karantenskih škodljivih organizmih za gozd. Napovedi vsebujejo  dnevne, kratkoročne in dolgoročne napovedi pojava škodljivih dejavnikov za gozd.

Forest Protection of Slovenia is a web portal where we access the manual for determining the causes of tree damage, educational materials, reports, data on sanitary felling, information on quarantine pests and predictions of the occurrence of harmful factors for the forest. You can use the manual to find the cause of tree damage in various ways. The manual contains descriptions of pathogens, their biology, distribution, pictorial material and more. It also contains a glossary of technical terms. The news presents current problems in forest protection, descriptions of biotic and abiotic harmful factors for the forest and innovations in the field of forest protection. The material is divided into educational material, reports, sanitary felling, calculation of tree volume, regulations, plant pest investigation programs, Boletus informaticus, Mikoteka GIS. The portal contains information on quarantine pests for the forest. Forecasts contain daily, short-term and long-term forecasts of the occurrence of harmful factors for the forest.
