"INTERFACES is a supra-disciplinary training and research network that aims (1) to develop conceptual process understanding of the role of ecohydrological interfaces (i.e. system boundaries) for the transport and transformation of fluxes of heat, energy and water and interlinked biogeochemical cycles (C, N, O) at micro- to landscape-scale; and (2) to create the next generation of supra-disciplinar ...

Climate Change reflects itself on the regional level by a changing regional climate and impacts on the environmental. societal and economic worlds. Hand in hand with this will be an inevitable shift in forest site conditions in the next decades with serious implications for sustainable forest management. Hence the project will show regionalized climate change impacts on forest site characterist ...

Background Human Biomonitoring involves collecting tissue samples, such as urine, blood, hair, saliva or nails, from volunteers and measuring chemical uptake and effect known as biomarkers in those indicators. For a given chemical, human biomonitoring surveys can highlight spatial trends of exposure, help uncover contributing lifestyle factors, and indi ...

Background Over the past century, populations of otter (Lutra lutra) decreased considerably across Europe. The causes of this have ranged from trapping by humans, the destruction of habitat, poor water quality, invasive species, road deaths and human encroachment into sensitive areas. A particular feature has been that, principally due to land use changes ...

WARELA (Water Retention by Land Use) (WARELA)

Start date: Aug 31, 2003, End date: Dec 30, 2006,

Besides the major flooding of main rivers, significant damage is caused by flooding of smaller tributaries. Thus flood protection measures implemented through large engineering projects must - to make them efficient as possible - be complemented by integrated river catchment management, implying the active involvement of farmers, foresters, and residents, since changing both user habits and land u ...
