EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - UNESCO World Heritage

6.b Administrative
arrangements for
monitoring property
Monitoring in the nominated component
parts forms part of the continuous area
moni toring and therefore rests with the
respective national park or biosphere reserve
adminis trations, which will work on certain
aspects of the monitoring processes by
themselves, collaborate with technical authorities,
universities and institutes, and
commission specialists correspondingly.
Th e development of a methodology manual
to govern area monitoring also includes
a standard data format to be specifi ed so
as to allow for results and information to
be exchanged smoothly and quickly.
6.c Results of previous
reporting exercises
Th e forest development has undergone intensive
monitoring already since the designation
as national park or biosphere reserve.
Inventory results and special issues reach far
beyond these designations. In Germany,
the results yielded by environmental monitoring
are publicly available in the form of
environmental monitoring data and, as a
rule, are periodically published (annex 6.1).
Relevant monitoring reports for the fi ve
component parts are listed in tab. 6.7.
Further monitoring results will be available
in future resulting from new research
activities (annex 6.2).

6. MONITORING
The area monitoring
performed so far has
revealed a positive
development back to
natural forests
(cf. chapter 4).
