Description
Phyonomy and Ecology (© Delarze & al. 2015)
Diese lichten Wälder bestehen fast ausschliesslich aus Lärchen und sind meist verzahnt mit Zwergstrauchheiden oder Alpweiden, früher auch mit Wiesen («Lärchwiesen»). Der Lärchenwald hat sein Optimum in der subalpinen Stufe, insbesondere in den Südalpen. Andernorts kommt die Lärche kombiniert mit der Fichte oder Arve vor. Reinbestände bildet sie nur in Pionierstadien (auf Hangfussschutthalden, am Rande von Lawinenrunsen, auf Jungmoränen) und in Zonen mit Einfluss der Weide- und Waldwirtschaft, im Allgemeinen oberhalb von 1500 m.
Distribution map
- Calculation method
Current distribution: Weighted sum (number of characteristic and frequent species) per hectare based on current observations. Reported characteristic species are given a weighting of 10, while others are counted without weighting. The habitat is considered to be present in a grid cell (5 x 5 km) if it contains at least one hectare with a minimum value of 11 points.
Potential distribution: Weighted sum (number of characteristic and frequent species) per hectare based on species distribution models. The calculation strategy is the same as for current distribution, but maps derived from species distribution models are used instead of current observations.
