Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aim of this course is to analyze the landscape-ecosystem of a particular research area and to distinguish and describe occurring interactions within this system. This should be done with the help of maps, areal images, literature, mapping in the field, simple calculations and a concluding discussion of the results.
Landscape-ecology examines processes and interactions between (abiotic) geofactors and organisms of a landscape. The human-environment interactions, which describes the anthropogenic overprint or change of natural ecosystems, ecosystem-compartments and (geo-) ecosystemic interactions therefore play a decisive role in theoretical and applied landscape-ecology. The assessment, characterization and analysis of landscape compartments (=subsystems) are as well an important part of work in this discipline.

On two field-days simple methods for an assessment of the compartments relief, climate, hydrology, soil, vegetation and land-use are introduced and will be applied in small groups.
This course consists of one compulsory and one optional field-day. Following theoretical input and practical instructions, a landscape-ecological case study should independently be worked out, discussed and presented.
