The forest monitoring in North Rhine-Westphalia consists of the forest condition evaluation, the foliar chemistry survey and the soil condition evaluation which are parts of the Germany-wide Level I network. Additionally, there are eight permanent sampling sites of the Europe-wide Level II network (UNECE ICP Forests). These data should be integrated and analysed by multivariate statistical methods. But there are problems regarding the access to data for scientific purposes. Accordingly, a Web-based geographical information system for compiling, management and analysis of forest monitoring data was implemented based on Open Source software to improve and harmonise data handling, visualisation and analysis.
