1.1. Development of permanent plots database ● Inventory of un-digitized historical documents in forest typology archive (field forms from permanent plots, maps with plot position, etc.), with focus on targert vegetation type ● New entries in the database of permenent plots reflecting favourable (historical) status of target vegetation type (field forms from cca 2500-3000 permanent plots) ● New entries in the database of permanent plots reflecting current status of target vegetation type based on field resurvey (cca 100 resurveyed plots)
