Quantifying the long-term recovery of the protective effect of forests against rockfall after stand-replacing disturbances

IntroductionIncreasing disturbances may significantly impact the long-term protective effect of forests against natural hazards. Quantifying the temporal development of the protective effect of forests is thus crucial for finding optimal management strategies.MethodsIn this study, we analyzed the lo...
