A set of models to identify forests with a protection function and to quantify their protective effects against natural hazards have been developed. Furthermore, the model chain will also assess the economic value and effectiveness of protection forest compared to alternative protection measures such as artificial defense structures and avoidance measures. These models will be applied in the The Interreg Alpine Space project GreenRisk4ALPs which has the aim to establish ecosystem-based risk governance of natural hazards. References
