The Documentation of Forest Damage Factors 2004 (German abbr. DWF) provides data on important forest pests, diseases, vertebrates and abiotic damages, collected through a survey on forest district basis in all privately and publicly owned forests of Austria for the year 2004. Data ascertainment is based on the estimation of 68 damage factors. In Austria, in addition to the DWF, forest damage data are collected by other surveys, such as Forest Statistics (German abbr. FOSTA) and the Report on Forest Harvesting (German abbr. HEM). From 2003 onwards, DWF will replace that part of FOSTA which is dealing with forest damages to avoid misunderstanding when comparing the results of the different surveys and to prevent duplication of ascertainment work. The restructuring of forest districts resulted in a slight decrease of the number of ascertainment units to 246 (2003: 247). Like in the year before, the results for the total Federal Territory are illustrated by maps of the forest districts allowing a good overview on the forest health situation.
