Morphological mapping in Gesäuse National Park

The aim of the work is to develop a mapping key for morphological recordings (including a methodology for recording changes in the landscape). Based on the 2008 test mapping and the division of the building into spatial units, a feasibility study for the entire area of the Gesäuse National Park is to be submitted. The chapter on the monitoring plan will consider how changes can be recorded and quantified in the future. The following added value will be achieved through the studies: — The interpretation is self-contained (does not require Habitalp as a basis) and can be extended with further parameters when an area is first taken. — The inclusion of morphographic properties (height, slope inclination, exposure and form) leads to a precise description of habitats. — The inclusion of the morphological form, including an interpretation of the near-surface subsurface, also serves to characterise habitats. — The interpretation of dynamic properties in the landscape (not only in relation to morphology) provides for the first time an overview of the development of habitats based on a large study area. The results are the basis of long-term monitoring and document current processes in the protected area. The interpretation is primarily based on aerial image, orthophoto and laser scan models. Terrain inspections are used for checking, or supplementing in areas that are difficult to interpret.本研究旨在构建一套地貌记录（morphological recordings）制图规范，包含景观变化记录方法。基于2008年试点制图工作以及将建筑划分为空间单元的工作基础，需为格绍国家公园（Gesäuse National Park）全域提交一份可行性研究报告。 本研究中有关监测计划的章节，将探讨未来如何对景观变化进行记录与量化。 通过本研究可实现以下新增价值： — 本次解译具备独立性（无需以Habitalp作为基础数据），且在首次对某区域开展解译工作时，可通过新增参数进行扩展完善。 — 纳入地貌制图属性（海拔、坡度、坡向与地貌形态），可实现对生境（habitat）的精准描述。 — 纳入地貌形态（包括近地表地下层的解译分析），同样有助于生境特征的刻画。 — 首次针对大型研究区域，实现了景观动态属性（不仅限于地貌相关范畴）的解译，从而全景呈现生境的演变历程。本研究成果可作为长期监测的基础，并记录该保护区内的当前动态过程。 本次解译主要以航空影像（aerial image）、正射影像（orthophoto）与激光扫描模型（laser scan models）为基础；对于解译难度较高的区域，则通过实地地形踏勘（terrain inspections）进行校验或补充完善。
