Abstract

Climate impact research in Berchtesgaden National Park (NP) complies with provisions of its management plan and is supported by a wide range of scientists working for several institutes in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. To promote exchange of project ideas in the shared study area and discover synergy effects, park administration initiated a two day workshop in Berchtesgaden. The main covered climate impacts on the water balance and snow cover dynamics, species composition and spatial distribution of alpine ecosystems as well as climate adaptation strategies. Workshop results were given an expert assessment by the recently retired director of the Max Plank Institute of Meteorology, Hartmut Graßl.
