Biodiversitätsmuster in der Kulturlandschaft

 

Ziele: Es ist viel die Rede von Biodiversitätsverlust und der Notwendigkeit Biodiversität zu erfassen, doch gibt es zu wenig praktische Arbeiten hierzu. In dieser Arbeit (evtl. mehrere) wird Pflanzen-Artenvielfalt kartiert und auf Landschaftsstrukturen bezogen. Hierzu ist die Identität einzelner Arten nicht zwingend erforderlich.

Auswirkungen der Dürre auf Quellfluren

 

Ziele: In den Dürreperioden der Jahre 2018 und 2019 fielen zahlreiche sonst kontinuierlich schüttende Waldquellen trocken. Durch einen Vergleich vorher / nachher soll der Einfluss dieser außergewöhnlichen Ereignisse auf die Artenzusammensetzung und Diversität von Waldquellfluren untersucht werden.

Forest Response to Drought Stress

 

Aims:  Drought episodes are predicted to increase their intensity and frequency globally, which will have a particular impact on forest vitality, productivity, and species distribution. This study aims to assess the impact of tree species interaction on forest vulnerability to drought.

Tree regeneration patterns in deciduous forests

 

Aims:  Tree regeneration and species composition are driven by numerous biotic and abiotic variables with varying degrees of overlapping influence. Understanding the conditions that promote certain spatial patterns of natural regeneration are important for forest productivity, ecological stability, and biodiversity.

Landscape fragmentation inside protected areas

 

Aims:  Habitat loss and fragmentation are causing an unprecedented decline in global biodiversity. Protected areas (PAs) are meant to counteract loss and fragmentation. Yet, even inside PAs ecosystems are fragmented. Our goal is to understand the patterns in which fragmentation occur inside and around PAs.

Shrink or shift: distribution of Rhodostrophia jacularia (Lepidoptera:Geometridae)

 

Aims:  If temperature keep rising, how species of steppe and desert will react to it? Since species richness of moths in central Asia was negatively correlated with temperature, it is a crucial question to answer.
