Health-relevant effects of different urban forest structures.

近年来的干旱压力以及风暴事件对森林造成了巨大的破坏性影响，不仅在巴伐利亚州。除了木材生产和其他生态系统服务外，城市森林还特别用于娱乐和促进健康，因此，森林作为一种健康资源现在已成为公众和政治中日益讨论的问题。自然和景观促进健康的潜力包括对主观幸福感和人类生理的影响。在方法论方面，最近越来越多的人意识到数字技术不应该纯粹用于提高效率，而应该关注人类福祉的生理和心理因素。因此，森林对健康的影响可以得到全面处理。项目的首要初始目标是通过不同的方法/技术和跨学科项目合作伙伴的先验知识，共同识别奥格斯堡城市森林与其环境的不同“结构类型”。在此过程中，将确定代表森林结构特征的类别，这些结构特征在当地和人类生物气候以及其他可能与健康有关的参数方面尽可能明确可划分。有关的森林结构类型将在下文尽可能全面地描述其与健康有关的参数的具体表现，包括当地和人类生物气候以及非气候（主观感知、人类生理影响）。在不同的、互补的定性和定量调查的基础上，对不同森林结构类型的健康影响进行了综合评价和比较。随后，通过定性和定量方法，对不同的造林方案可能产生的与健康有关的影响作出估计，最后，就预期的健康影响提出有利于造林发展战略的建议。

Drought stress in recent years as well as storm events have had a massive damaging effect on forests, not only in Bavaria. In addition to timber production and other ecosystem services, urban forests in particular are used for recreation and health promotion, so that forests as a health resource have now become an issue that is increasingly being discussed in public and in politics. The health-promoting potential of nature and landscape includes influences on subjective well-being as well as on human physiology. In terms of methodology, there has recently been a growing awareness that digital technology should not be used purely to increase efficiency, but rather to focus on physical and psychological factors of human well-being. Thus, the influence of forests on health can be comprehensively addressed. The overarching initial goal of the project is the cooperative identification of the different "structural types" of the Augsburg City Forest with its environment through the different methods/techniques and prior knowledge of the interdisciplinary project partners. In doing so, categories are to be determined which represent forest structural characteristics that are as clearly delimitable as possible with regard to local and human bioclimatic as well as other potentially health-relevant parameters. The relevant forest structure types will be characterised below as comprehensively as possible with regard to their specific manifestations of health-relevant parameters - both local and human bioclimatic as well as non-climatic (subjective perception, human physiological effects). On the basis of the different, complementary qualitative and quantitative surveys, an integrative evaluation and comparison of the health-relevant effects of different forest structure types results. By means of qualitative and quantitative approaches, estimates of potential health-relevant effects of different silvicultural scenarios are subsequently worked out, and finally, recommendations are derived for silvicultural development strategies to be favoured with regard to expected health effects.
