Courses

Please note that the field exercises not only differ in dates, but also in their topics and the study locations. For some exercises you will have to stay overnight, and for some exercises you need a bicycle.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE CONTENT AND LOCATION OF THIS ADDITIONAL FIELD EXERCISE MIGHT STILL CHANGE ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS!


FOR THIS FIELD EXERCISE YOU NEED A BIKE AND A TENT (or share a tent with someone), as we CAMP at the ELBELING CAMPSITE near Radegast:
This is a hands-on field exercise where you get to experience and get to know a species-rich meadow in the Elbe river area and learn how to identify plant species, as well as measure how species increase with the area you sample in a meadow. Thus, it is very much about learning by doing, and testing a key ecological theory in the field.
For this exercise you need to bring your own bicycle. We cannot make exceptions for this, and please check your bike tires are well pumped up before setting out to the Elbe. Many thanks. We are also staying one night (Friday night) in the campsite near Radegast, and so you need to organise with your co-students to bring a tent, mat and sleeping bag. One cannot borrow a tent on the campsite, so please make sure you have this equipment with you. If there is some bigger equipment that you cannot manage to transport on your bikes, we can transport this in the institute van.

Das Projekt bietet den Studierenden eine einzigartige Gelegenheit, tiefgreifende Einblicke in die Biodiversität dieses speziellen Ökosystems zu gewinnen.
Zusammen mit der Forschungsabteilung des Nationalparks wurde ein Monitoringkonzept erarbeitet und ein Design zur Etablierung von Dauerprobeflächen entwickelt.

Die Inhalte des Moduls umfassen:
1. Einführung in den Nationalpark Müritz: Verständnis für die geografische Lage, die Ökosysteme und die besondere Bedeutung des Nationalparks Müritz für den Naturschutz.
2. Grundlagen des Biodiversitäts-Monitorings: Erlernen von Methoden und Techniken für das Monitoring der biologischen Vielfalt, einschließlich Datensammlung, -analyse und -interpretation.
3. Artenkenntnisse und Identifikation: Identifikation von Pflanzen, die für das Ökosystem des Nationalparks Müritz charakteristisch sind.
4. Datenerfassung im Feld: Praktische Erfahrung im Gelände und Sammlung/Messung von Daten, mit Schwerpunkt auf Artenvielfalt und ökologischen Interaktionen.
5. Datenmanagement und -analyse: Einblick in die Strukturierung und Analyse von Biodiversitätsdaten, um räumliche Muster und Veränderungen im Laufe der Zeit zu erkennen.
6. Langfristige Perspektive: Verständnis für die Bedeutung langfristiger Biodiversitätsstudien und deren Beitrag zum Naturschutz und zur nachhaltigen Bewirtschaftung von Schutzgebieten.
7. Kommunikation von Forschungsergebnissen: Entwicklung von Fähigkeiten zur effektiven Präsentation und Kommunikation von Forschungsergebnissen, um relevante Erkenntnisse einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich zu machen.
8. Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte: Diskussion von Aspekten der Nachhaltigkeit und des Naturschutzes im Kontext des Biodiversitäts-Monitorings und Entwicklung von Strategien zur Förderung eines ausgewogenen Verhältnisses zwischen menschlichen Aktivitäten und dem Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt.
