Group Layer Forestry and Forestry — Forest Fire Risk

The group layer “Forest Fire Hazard” contains two additional group layers: “Number of days exceeding forest fire index class 4” with a map and “Change of the number of days when forest fire index class 4 exceeds forest fire index class 4” with six maps. The first map shows the days of exceeding the forest fire index class 4 in the period 1961-1990. The other six maps reflect the modeled change in the number of days exceeding the forest fire index class 4 over the period 2021-2050 and 2071-2100, respectively in relation to the reference period 1961-1990. The data bases are derived from the German Weather Service and are based on climate model simulations of an ensemble of 19 climate models for the scenario SRES-A1B. They will each be for the 15th, 50th, and 85th. Percentile of the model ensemble specified.
