  1. DSS-WAMOS A Decision Support System for Management of Mires in the Forest Humboldt Universität zu Berlin Faculty of Agriculture and Horticulture(Prof. J. Zeitz, B. Hasch, H.

  2. DSS-WAMOS – Main Task DSS-WAMOS (Decision Support System - WAldMOorSchutz) dialogue-orientated, computer-aided derivation of an individual, optimal recommendation of action for renaturation of mires in the forest DSS - WAMOS – A Decision Support System for Management of Mires in the Forest 13th International Peat Congress - Tullamore, 9th June 2008

  3. DSS-WAMOS – Requirements on the DSS Main characteristics: • low investigation effort and data requirement (standardized peatland mapping procedure) • High transparency and easy usability (dichotomous decision trees) • provision of expert knowledge and decision-relevant expertise (Dialogue section) • representation of existent insecurities and additional investigation requirements DSS - WAMOS – A Decision Support System for Management of Mires in the Forest 13th International Peat Congress - Tullamore, 9th June 2008

  4. Object of investigation Definition - Forest Mire: „ Forest mires (in terms of DSS-WAMOS) are defined as mires (with or without wood) connected to forest. The catchment area is predominantly covered with wood - which has a significant impact on the water supply situation of the mire.“ DSS - WAMOS – A Decision Support System for Management of Mires in the Forest 13th International Peat Congress - Tullamore, 9th June 2008

  5. DSS - Appliance • DSS – WAMOS is applicable for fens and transitional mires: • water rise mires, terrestrialisation mires, percolation mires spring mires and kettle hole mires • sphagnum -dominated ombrosoligen slope bogs (at least partially water-fed from catchment area, straight water flow, no heavy bulge, no heavy modification of surface by peat cutting) DSS - WAMOS – A Decision Support System for Management of Mires in the Forest 13th International Peat Congress - Tullamore, 9th June 2008

  6. DSS - Basic Structure Derivation of rewetting potential in dependence on climatic and hydro- geological conditions Water regime requirements for protection of sensitive habitats (water demand, avoidance of eutrophication) Consideration of further forestal, agrarian and fishery use DSS - WAMOS – A Decision Support System for Management of Mires in the Forest 13th International Peat Congress - Tullamore, 9th June 2008

  7. DSS - Basic Structure Task: • derive adequate forestal measures in the catchment area Decision relevant parameters: • abundance and composition of forestal skirt bordering the mire • composition of forestal species in the catchment area • age structure of pine-forests in the catchment area (fellable age yes/no) • kind of intended holding of forest area in the catchment area • existance of specific kinds of species and biotope that need to be preserved Task: • derive of adequate maintenance measures in the mire Decision relevant parameters: • kind of current use • species of mire grove • existance of specific kinds of shadowing-sensitive vegetation that need to be preserved • hydrostatic type of mire / oszillation ability • abundance of hypnum moss • longterm warrantee maintenance • abundance of mire grove • pine-needle (short-needle / long-needle) Derive adequate forestal measures in order to increase water supply from catchment area Identification of appropriate rewetting techniques in dependence of site conditions and development objective Recommendation for treatment of undesired self-afforestation of the mire DSS - WAMOS – A Decision Support System for Management of Mires in the Forest 13th International Peat Congress - Tullamore, 9th June 2008
