Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Advanced knowledge of ecosystem functioning and biogeochemical processes in wetlands. This knowledge will be delivered with a mixture of lecture, field and laboratory work. After an introduction on wetland types and wetland specific ecosystem processes, vegetation and soils will be mapped in the National Park Donau-Auen and samples will be analysed in the laboratory for soil parameters and soil processes.
The overall goal of the field day is to determine the extent to which current vegetation dynamics reflect rapidly changing conditions, whether there are ecosystem services there that should be considered for site assessment, and what recommendations for management can be derived.
