The Spanish Association of Parks and Public Gardens (AEPJP) will be the presentation of the Basis of Spanish Data Collapse of trees (BDECA) in the framework of the technical seminar "Risk Assessment tree", which will be held in Leon on the 5th of March.
This database will serve for the collection of information about the failures in trees in Spain, with the purpose of evaluating the types of collapse, perform technical studies, and to disseminate the analysis and the failure patterns by species for future use in the management of the woodland.
The theme of the technical seminar "Risk Assessment tree", which will be held in León on March 5, will be the presentation of the BDECA. The creation of this tool arises from the lack of information about the predisposition to the failure of many tree species, as well as the importance of the structural defects or specific, among other things, of the influence of the meteorological variables that can be related to the collapses.
In Spain, the lack of information on the collapses of the species most commonly used in our cities, limiting the development of studies and accurate diagnostics accurate. The solution that is proposed through the BDECA is to collect the information about the failures in trees in Spain, so that is to build a database of all and for all, that will be generated by those professionals involved, in addition to shared at a general level as they are getting meaningful data.
The main asset for the success of the BDECA, is the participation of employees in the sector of arboriculture: municipal technicians, companies of arboriculture, professional, scientific, technical, etc., The BDECA operates in the following way: The interested persons will receive a basic course with the aim of standardizing the criteria for the identification of the variables and filling the tab. As you go by collecting information and populating of the database, is processed and will analyze this information, so that reports will be prepared that will be made available to the users.
It is a tool that will help evaluate the types of collapse, perform technical studies, and to disseminate the analysis and the failure patterns by species for future use in the management of the woodland.
