The water management plan, or limnological concept, deals with the biological and ecological structure and functions of the waters and the accompanying habitats, which are irreplaceable for so many animal and plant species. In order to protect endangered species and to allow the rivers to run freely, measures are proposed in this management plan.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/005_Nationalpark_Gesaeuse_Naturschutz_Ranger\u00a9StefanLeitner_NPG-min-e1641807747419.jpg\" alt=\"005_Nationalpark_Ges\u00e4use_Naturschutz_Ranger\u00a9StefanLeitner_NPG-min\" class=\"image-text__image image-text__column\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_5fd316a6bea4f' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--downloads lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"downloads\">\n    <div class=\"downloads__title-container\">\n        <h2 class=\"downloads__title uppercase\">FURTHER INFORMATIONS<\/h2>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"downloads__files\">\n                    <style style=\"display: none\">.download{display:-webkit-box;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:justify;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;padding:1em;border-radius:3px}.download__info{-ms-flex-wrap:nowrap;flex-wrap:nowrap}.download__info>*{display:inline-block}.download__title{font-size:1.1875rem;line-height:1em}.lightpress__body .download__filesize{margin-right:1em;font-size:.875rem;line-height:1em;opacity:.66}.download__link{color:var(--color-dark, black)}<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"download bg-light\">\n    <p class=\"download__title color-text-grey\">NPG Limnological concept I - german only<\/p>\n    <div class=\"download__info\">\n                    <p class=\"download__filesize color-text-grey\">2.9 MB<\/p>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/OeKOTEAM_2008_Limnologisches_Konzept_Gesaeuse_II.pdf\" class=\"download__link\" download>\n            <i class=\"fal fa-download fa-lg\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                    \n\n<div class=\"download bg-light\">\n    <p class=\"download__title color-text-grey\">NPG Limnological concept II - german only<\/p>\n    <div class=\"download__info\">\n                    <p class=\"download__filesize color-text-grey\">480.0 KB<\/p>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/OeKOTEAM_2008_Limnologisches_Konzept_Gesaeuse_I.pdf\" class=\"download__link\" download>\n            <i class=\"fal fa-download fa-lg\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_5faa955912ec3' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--image-text lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"image-text image-text--mirrored\">\n    <div class=\"image-text__content image-text__column\">\n        <p class=\"image-text__subtitle\"><\/p>\n        <h3 class=\"image-text__title uppercase color-text-darker\">Management plan for invasive species<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"image-text__text wysiwyg color-text-grey\">\n            <p>All invasive species introduced directly or indirectly by humans after 1492 (year of the discovery of America) are called \"neobiota\".

When Ges\u00e4use National Park was founded in 2002, the hunting lease agreements expired and a national park compliant game management plan was needed. The main aim of the nature reserve is to let nature unfold naturally on three quarters of its territory. Hunting activities such as shooting and conservation are to take place on the remaining area. As these sections are also used for alpine farming, siviculture, visitor management and traffic, the regional development planning, which is laid down in this management plan, is particularly important. <\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Xeis_Matthias_Ledwinka56-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Xeis_Matthias_Ledwinka56\" class=\"image-text__image image-text__column\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_5fd316b9bea52' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--downloads lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"downloads\">\n    <div class=\"downloads__title-container\">\n        <h2 class=\"downloads__title uppercase\">FURTHER INFORMATIONS<\/h2>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"downloads__files\">\n                    <style style=\"display: none\">.download{display:-webkit-box;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:justify;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;padding:1em;border-radius:3px}.download__info{-ms-flex-wrap:nowrap;flex-wrap:nowrap}.download__info>*{display:inline-block}.download__title{font-size:1.1875rem;line-height:1em}.lightpress__body .download__filesize{margin-right:1em;font-size:.875rem;line-height:1em;opacity:.66}.download__link{color:var(--color-dark, black)}<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"download bg-light\">\n    <p class=\"download__title color-text-grey\">NPG game management - german only<\/p>\n    <div class=\"download__info\">\n                    <p class=\"download__filesize color-text-grey\">6.1 MB<\/p>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Holzinger_2012_Managementplan_Schwarzwild.pdf\" class=\"download__link\" download>\n            <i class=\"fal fa-download fa-lg\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                    \n\n<div class=\"download bg-light\">\n    <p class=\"download__title color-text-grey\">Nationalparks Austria game management - german only<\/p>\n    <div class=\"download__info\">\n                    <p class=\"download__filesize color-text-grey\">1.2 MB<\/p>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nationalparksaustria_oJ_Leitbild_Schalenwild.pdf\" class=\"download__link\" download>\n            <i class=\"fal fa-download fa-lg\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_5faa9a171f255' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--image-text lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"image-text image-text--mirrored\">\n    <div class=\"image-text__content image-text__column\">\n        <p class=\"image-text__subtitle\"><\/p>\n        <h3 class=\"image-text__title uppercase color-text-darker\">forestry management<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"image-text__text wysiwyg color-text-grey\">\n            <p>Up until the foundation of the Ges\u00e4use National Park in 2002 the forests of the area were managed like every other commercial forest. For forestry, spruce has always been the number one tree species and was promoted on all possible and impossible sites. Many natural wood communities, especially in easily accessible areas such as the Gstatterbodener Kessel and the alluvial forests along the river Enns, had to make way. The natural timber development will certainly produce adapted mixed woodland again at some point. The national park and the Steierm\u00e4rkische Landesforste are helping to speed up the process for which the forest management plan provides an important point of reference.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/036_Nationalpark_Gesaeuse_Naturschutz_Ranger\u00a9StefanLeitner_NPG-min-e1641807864694.jpg\" alt=\"036_Nationalpark_Ges\u00e4use_Naturschutz_Ranger\u00a9StefanLeitner_NPG-min\" class=\"image-text__image image-text__column\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_5fd316bfbea53' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--downloads lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"downloads\">\n    <div class=\"downloads__title-container\">\n        <h2 class=\"downloads__title uppercase\">FURTHER INFORMATIONS<\/h2>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"downloads__files\">\n                    <style style=\"display: none\">.download{display:-webkit-box;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:justify;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;padding:1em;border-radius:3px}.download__info{-ms-flex-wrap:nowrap;flex-wrap:nowrap}.download__info>*{display:inline-block}.download__title{font-size:1.1875rem;line-height:1em}.lightpress__body .download__filesize{margin-right:1em;font-size:.875rem;line-height:1em;opacity:.66}.download__link{color:var(--color-dark, black)}<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"download bg-light\">\n    <p class=\"download__title color-text-grey\">NPG - forestry management - german only<\/p>\n    <div class=\"download__info\">\n                    <p class=\"download__filesize color-text-grey\">2.1 MB<\/p>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Holzinger_Haseke_2009_Waldmanagementplan.pdf\" class=\"download__link\" download>\n            <i class=\"fal fa-download fa-lg\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                    \n\n<div class=\"download bg-light\">\n    <p class=\"download__title color-text-grey\">FB 13 Waldmanagement<\/p>\n    <div class=\"download__info\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/FB13-Waldmanagement.pdf\" class=\"download__link\" download>\n            <i class=\"fal fa-download fa-lg\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                    \n\n<div class=\"download bg-light\">\n    <p class=\"download__title color-text-grey\">Biotope Protection Forest Map<\/p>\n    <div class=\"download__info\">\n                    <p class=\"download__filesize color-text-grey\">12.0 MB<\/p>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biotopschutzwald-Karte.pdf\" class=\"download__link\" download>\n            <i class=\"fal fa-download fa-lg\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":6,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-173","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14145,"href":"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/173\/revisions\/14145"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
