Development of vegetation and rejuvenation via extensive lawinar forest clearing corridors (Tamischbach Tower, Gesäuse)

In February 2005, outstanding amounts of snow fell in the Gesäuse and numerous avalanche exits occurred. Two of them ripped with larger forest populations, creating significant new balding areas. On the one hand, the following work is devoted to the floristic description of these two clearing surfaces five years after their creation. It also examines how it is ordered to reforest. To Podesser (2009: 22) In recent years, large protected forests have been destroyed by avalanches. The examination of the rejuvenation situation over the disturbance areas in the present work is therefore of particular importance. Can a natural reforesting of the current open spaces be expected without accompanying management measures?
