Background
• Lesser Spotted Woodpecker(LSW) Umbrella species
• High demands• Dead Wood• Moist Forest• Decidous Forest• High crown coverage (dense forest)
![Page 4: Picture from: picasaweb.google/lh/photo/yGRAtcNMIlE4h1hKv8SDYA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/5681389f550346895da05b4f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Background
• Habitat size Maximum 200 Ha with minimum 40 Ha of decidous forest
• OR 40 Ha habitat with minimum 20% decidous in the habitat (during early spring)
• Proxys for dead wood Old forest, high moisture
![Page 5: Picture from: picasaweb.google/lh/photo/yGRAtcNMIlE4h1hKv8SDYA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/5681389f550346895da05b4f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Aim
• How are the potential habitats for the LSW in the Nacka Nature Reserve distributed?
• In extention: Where is the old, wet, decidous forest with standing dead wood and high crown coverage?
• These criterions are then supposed to imply a good and healthy forest which supports a wide range of other animals demanding one, or more, of the same criterions

Method
• Literature studies Habitat demands• Remote sensing, using orthophotos viewed in
stereo• Digitizing areas of interest (and others…)
according to the criterions: General landcover, forest type, moisture gradient (amount of dead wood and age)
![Page 10: Picture from: picasaweb.google/lh/photo/yGRAtcNMIlE4h1hKv8SDYA](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/5681389f550346895da05b4f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Method
• Select ”core habitats” for the LSW• Make buffer zones around the core habitats• Calculate these zones according to the habitat
demands• Present the results (Maps & statistics)

This is the original classification shown with the attributes ”Vegetation class” and ”Moisture”.
SQL: Select from ”original” where ”Vegetation” = Forest AND (”Moisture”= ”Mesic to Moist” AND ”Moist to Wet”)

This is the original classification shown with the attributes ”Vegetation class”, ”Moisture” and ”Crown Coverage”.
SQL: Select from ”original” where ”Vegetation” = Decidous forest AND (”Moisture”= ”Mesic to Moist” AND ”Moist to Wet”) AND (Crown Coverage = >70%)

This is the buffered zones around the optimal habitats.
Buffer with 356,9 meter radius.(The radius of a circle with the area 40 Hectars)
Some strech outside the border

This is the buffered zones around the optimal habitats, buffered with 356,9 meter radius(The radius of a circle with the area 40 Hectars), and clipped against the boarder

This is the original classification shown with the attribute ”Decidous forest” in ”Vegetation class” and the bufferzones are now clipped against the boarder and the ones <40000m2 are removed

Discussion
• Overlapping habitats = Not good. Different potential habitats ”share” the same patches of decidous trees. Can probably be solved with the existing datasets though.
• The use of high moisture as the only indicator for dead wood. Hard to see dead wood in orthophotos. Tried to locate old maps showing when an area was abandoned, no success due to time limits.
