| Description | A symbolic landscape model (”hill”) has been applied for the approximate nesting of products of two regional climate change scenarios (GISS, CCCM). The ”hill” simulates the temperature and precipitation redistribution in various combinations of aspect, slope, soil and humidity classes integrated in the database to homogenous landscape units (geosystems). The data on redistributed temperature and precipitation on the slopes of ”hill” under climate change, serves the calculation of Lang' s precipitation factor. Its values help to separate the vegetation stages of the nature forest canopies. The differences between the present and future numbers of the vegetation stages calculated for every geosystem and corrected with regard to the soil type, soil mechanics and humidity conditions were applied for risk assessment. Results were classified into three risk classes of the global climate change consequences. |
