TASK 6: Drivers of past forest cover change concept and first results for the Swiss Alps
TASK 6: Estimation of climate change and land use contribution to past forest cover change
Research aims:• disentangling land use and climate effects for the past forest
cover trajectories at different spatial and temporal scales• Compare drivers in Swiss Alps and Polish Carpathians

Socioeconomic Data• An extensive sample of socioeconomic data has been compiled
for all 199 communities within FORECOM study area by Marc Herrmann (data to be jointly used in AlpPast/FORDYNCH and FORECOM)
• Parameters include information on population (inc. Age distribution), accessibility (road/railway), agriculture, employment sectors, commuters etc.
• Not full set of parameters available for all periods (most go back to 1930)
• Transferability of approach and comparability -> identify minimal set of parameters available for CH and PL

Context Data
Contextual variables include information that is determined by location. Some variables are clearly related to the biological system (distance to forest edge) others to socio-economy (distance to road/settlement)

Monthly temperature and precipitation downscaled to 100m resolution
Historical data (1850-1930)• Calculate anomalies to reconstructed historical time series; monthly
temperature (Luterbacher), seasonal precipitation (seasonal,Pauling).• Spatial Interpolation (100m grid)

Does population changes drive forest cover change?
• What is the appropriate resolution (admin unit)?
• Absolute vs relative changes (fc and pc)• Time lag between pop change and forest
cover change?
