Root rot

Heureka uses the model by Thor et al. (2005) for calculating the potential risk of root rot occurrence in Norway spruce.

The result variables are located in the result group Damage Risks. The result variables are the expected number of infected trees ("Root Rot Stems"), and basal area ("Rot Root Potential Basal Area") and volume ("Rot Root Potential Volume") for these trees. The basal area and volume refer to the whole trees, not only the infected parts. Currently, timber value losses due to root rot are not calculated.

Note that these risk amounts are not included in the final mortality calculation, and thus not affecting future forest states.
