Landscape monitoring in Berchtesgaden National Park - comparative spatio-temporal analysis of land cover inventories
Annette Lotz
Berchtesgaden National Park uses aerial image interpretation to produce complete inventories of its land cover. The approach ensures data comparability between time slices and allows for change detection on different temporal and spatial scales. Experiences of HABITALP and cc HABITALP projects show increasing expectations of monitoring benefits in protected areas. For the first time since 1980 we analyze comparatively time slices of interpretation layers for the entire area. This leads to extended knowledge about landscape evolution and meets essential requirements of adaptive management.
