Abstract

Under the assumption of ecosystem services, in general, and protective functions, specifically, being provided by resilient vegetation communities, the prediction of potential natural site conditions can be among others a tool for modelling climate change scenarios concerning future protective functions of railway relevant vegetation. Within the “clim_ect” project, the results of 43 climate envelope models show which tree species can contribute protective functions for different hazardous events under climate change aspects. In combination with the vegetation database considering hazard specific and protection related attributes and the syntheses of predicted hazard development corridors (short paper II) it can be used as a planning tool for future species composition on protection forest stands on a regional scale.
