Protection forest management requires reliable data on the structural characteristics of forest stands with high spatial resolution, which could be delivered by airborne laser scanning. We subtracted a digital surface model (DSM), derived from the last LiDAR ...

Adequate management of a mountain forest that protects downslope areas against impacts of rockfall requires insight into the dynamics of the hillslope environment. Therefore, we applied a combined approach, using field and modelling techniques, to assess the ...

One of the valuable services a forest in the Alps provides is protection against natural hazards such as rockfall. Adequate management of a mountain forest that protects downslope areas against impacts of rockfall requires insight into the dynamics of the ...
