Norway – Environmental management – Development of disruption index

The main aim of this assignment is to develop a "disruption index" based on the ABI index. Such a "disruption index" will be able to use monitoring data of human activity and bare ground damage to say something about how much disruption there is in the mountains, as well as in other relevant open nature types. We would like this to be used in local management (provide an overview of disturbances) and into the national and local level natural accounts, as well as be included in national condition assessments according to the Ecological Condition Professional System.
