Abstract

The environmental changes occurring in the Biebrza River Valley (NE Poland) during the last two centuries have enforced a number of conservation activities in Biebrza National Park (BNP). In order to optimise planning processes, a Decision Support System (DSS) was developed. The DSS consists of a Data Catalogue and Geographic Information System (GIS), as well as a Hydrological and an Ecological Modules. In this paper, we present the use of the DSS in a scenario study, in which the changes of water conditions on the floodplain were estimated after different vegetation management scenarios leading to different vegetation successions.
