Abstract: The accompanying Main Map shows forest vulnerability zones calculated for the Czech Republic, covering a total area of almost 79,000 km-super-2. Calculating forest vulnerability zones over such a large area requires a unique approach due to its complexity. The map includes additional information on forest areas and topography. The model of forest vulnerability zones (FVZ) constitutes an alternative to existing zones of forest health hazard caused by emissions. It was created based on subjective classification of existing incidence of damage in forests. Moreover, the model of forest vulnerability zones estimates the risk of forest health degradation caused by abiotic factors.
