A presentation on the assessment of protective effect of wind-disturbed forest against snow avalanches has been given by the BFW (Leon Bührle). Building on a recent study that introduced protective effect indices in windthrow areas derived from drone-based photogrammetric data, we refined and integrated this approach into a semi-automated and comprehensive framework for supporting the assessment of said protective effect of windthrow areas against snow avalanche release. The output of this framework are spatial protective effect indices identifying critical zones for potential avalanche release.
