1993
Kraeuchi, N. (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich (Switzerland). Department of Forest and Wood Research)
Climate change must be considered an ecological and socio-economic threat. We have to support any measures that are combating climate change. It is currently unknown which climate scenario will come true, and therefore very important to maintain the biological diversity of the forest ecosystems for a wide variety of possible development.

1993
Brassel, P. (Swiss Federal Institute for Forest Snow and Landscape Research, Birmensdorf (Switzerland))
The national forest inventory of Switzerland is a large-scale assessment of the condition and changes in Swiss forests. Some of the most important advantages of the NFI are its permanence, the long-term and flexible inventory design, the high data-quality and the compatibility with the damage inventory.

1993
Innes, J.L. (Swiss Federal Institute for Forest Snow and Landscape Research, Birmensdorf (Switzerland))
Monitoring of forest health represents an important part of programmes assessing the actual and potential impact of air pollution and climate change on forests. The available information indicates that variation between years is high, indicating that long term time series will be required to identify trends in forest condition.
