Summary

See general description

Description

The layer WALD_KURTH contains the geometry of the forest stands with selected attributes recorded in the study of Kurth, Weidmann and Thommen (1960). In the 1960's the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (Birmensdorf, Switzerland. Formerly: Eidg. Anstalt für das forstliche Versuchswesen) initiated a research programme to investigate different sampling methods and to study the forest situation in the Swiss National Park. Maps on the different forest categories, timber capacity (Holzvorrat), occurence of wildlife damage etc. resulted. Although dating from 1967, the data set from Kurth et al. is important for the research activites in the Swiss National Park. Due to the altitude and the climatic conditions, vegetation dynamics are very slow in this area. Hence, these data can be used for the comparision with newer data or in vegetation modelling in general.

Also, a combined code of the tree species fields suitable for symbolization (field HOLZCODE) has been derived. The data automation phase has been planned and carried out by C. Grados and R.

Abstract
The layer WALD_KURTH contains the geometry of the forest stands with selected attributes recorded in the study of Kurth, Weidmann and Thommen (1960). In the 1960's the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (Birmensdorf, Switzerland. Formerly: Eidg. Anstalt für das forstliche Versuchswesen) initiated a research programme to investigate different sampling methods and to study the forest situation in the Swiss National Park. Maps on the different forest categories, timber capacity (Holzvorrat), occurence of wildlife damage etc. resulted. Although dating from 1967, the data set from Kurth et al. is important for the research activites in the Swiss National Park. Due to the altitude and the climatic conditions, vegetation dynamics are very slow in this area. Hence, these data can be used for the comparision with newer data or in vegetation modelling in general.

Source Contribution
The geometry of subareas and forest stands has been digitized manually from paper maps at a scale of 1:25'000. Where appropriate, the stand geometry has been used to construct the subarea boundaries. The forest stand attributes have been entered based on the color codes from the maps in the article of Kurth, Weidmann and Thommen (1960). In this process and during the quality checks, some discrepancies between the geometry on the 1:25'000 maps and the maps in the articles have been detected. In general, the version in the 1:25'000 maps has been assumed as correct (the discrepancies are documented in the layer PROBLEME).

After data automation and QA, the attribute codes used beforehand in the forest stand layer were replaced with short textual descriptions of the corresponding classes, considered more adequate for analysis. Also, a combined code of the tree species fields suitable for symbolization (field HOLZCODE) has been derived.

The data automation phase has been planned and carried out by C. Grados and R. Schöning of Schöning & Grados Geoinformatik.

tree species

Attribute

Attribute Definition
Optional second tree species (if present, then HOLZ_MIX indicates whether HOLZART1 is predominant over HOLZART2)

Attribute
Attribute Label HOLZ_MIX
Attribute Definition
For polygons with more than one recorded tree species (HOLZART2 not empty), HOLZ_MIX indicates whether HOLZART1 is predominant over HOLZART2 or whether they are equally represented ("H1 > H2" or "H1 = H2"). This information is derived from the symbolization on the source map (relative width of horizontal bands)

Attribute
Attribute Label HOLZCODE
Attribute Definition
Concatenation of numeric codes for HOLZART1, HOLZART2 and HOLZ_MIX. May be used for symbolizing tree species
