Can profitable land use going along with securing biodiversity for future generations? This central question is relevant also for the recently established Black Forest Biosphere Reserve.
Are Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) tree cavities an answer to depredation risk? A new study underlines the importance of old beech forest habitats concerning biodiversity
Agroforestry systems can reduce erosion and nutrient loss and can improve soil quality. So why are those systems not cultivated on a larger scale?
Supported by the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU) the Landespflege Freiburg strives for the cooperation with an expert panel in order to improve measures to reduce nutrient discharge to rivers and lakes within agricultural landscapes.
A cool reception. Eurasian beavers returning to Western European Landscapes frequently trigger human-wildlife conflicts. Landespflege Freiburg researcher in dialog with BWagrar.
Centuries of water management and canalisation lead to fundamental changes of the characteristics of the River Rhine. As a result, former floodplains fell dry, and meanders and tributaries have been cut off from the main stream.
The report on the first interim evaluation by the scientific expert committee is available.
As every year, experienced employees of the Landespflege support the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Wanderfalkenschutz (AGW) in the ringing of eagle owls and peregrine falcons.
Is it possible to reconstruct grazing effects on common range lands based on formerly recorded life stock numbers and fertilization procedures? A joint project of Landespflege Freiburg and the Black Forest Biosphere Reserve aims on establishing a knowledge and information base in order to support evidence based management strategies for so called ‚Allmenden‘.
Werner Konold and Bern Seitz edited a book that introduces the characteristics of the Biosphere Reserve newly established in the Southern Black Forest Region.
Biodiversity loss is continously progressing in agricultural landscapes nearly all over Europe. In order to counteract this process, the Landespflege Freiburg is currently developing evidence based decision making and adaptive management systems.
Landespflege Freiburg is advising the client Abfallwirtschaft und Stadtreinigung Freiburg GmbH (ASF) on the establishment of protected acidophilous grassland at the Eichelbuck landfill site.
Together with scientists from several Institutions around Freiburg, Germany, Thomas Kaphegyi and Werner Konold co-authored a section of a new world series volume published by the International Union of Forest Research (IUFRO).
With this project, we explore and document historic transport techniques for timber formerly applied in the Black Forest Region.
The ecological status of German rivers and wetlands is still deficient. The management of agricultural landscapes adjacent to waters can considerably affect the ecology of rivers, lakes and wetlands, and the land use pressure on riparian areas is permanently increasing (see e.g. Kaphegyi et al. 2015).
