Analyse europäischer Monitoringsysteme für eine zeitgerechte Abbildung der Klimaschutzfunktion des Waldes in Deutschland für die nationale THG-Berichterstattung

Summary

Germany faces a challenge in accurately and timely reporting the climate protection function of its forests for national greenhouse gas inventories, as current periodic forest inventories lead to significant retrospective adjustments of carbon sink/source estimates. The country is exploring and implementing a combination of monitoring methods, including remote sensing and empirical forest growth models like FABio-Forest, to generate annual data and improve the accuracy and timeliness of forest carbon balance reporting. The FABio-Forest model has successfully reproduced past forest inventory results, indicating progress in this area.
