Import of climate scenario

Expert models of future climate scenarios can be applied, and such data imported as a formatted text file (in .csv or .txt format). Climate changes; usually including higher temperatures and increasing precipitation, are then simulated within the current analysis area and, if the area is large, varying depending on the location (latitude and altitude). The impact upon the forests is, for the moment, limited to an increasing growth - decreasing length of rotation. However, there will also be negative consequences of climate changes; forests are assumed to be more easily damaged by fungi, insects, etc. Applying such "risk models" in Heureka demands further development.
