Abstract

The beaver floodplain model represents the probable location and dimensions of wetted or impounded areas resulting from the construction of beaver dams along stream sections in all catchments in Switzerland. The two models visualise a minimum and a maximum damming probability corresponding to an assumed minimum beaver dam height of 0.5 metres and a maximum dam height of 1.5 metres. These two scenarios can be represented by two data formats: 1. a vector
dataset (polygon) representing the boundaries of the expected maximum floodplains, and 2. a raster dataset giving an impression of the relative probability that a location (raster cell) within the potential (maximum) area will be dammed.
