**Topic**:
**Climate impact, recreation and health**
This subproject aims to deepen our understanding of the interaction between recreational forest visitors/users and the bioclimatic effect of the Naturwald Mittlere Isar region. Due to its structural and species variability, the riparian forest has a wide microclimatic range to which visitors are exposed, affecting their health and wellbeing. The subproject aims to identify and understand these factors and their interaction with diverse group of visitors, leading to a fine-scale bioclimatic model for the Naturwald Mittlere Isar region. In this subproject, we will collaborate with the professorship of didactics in sport and health of TUM.
