Lehrveranstaltungen
An advanced knowledge of site characteristics and biogeochemical processes is an important prerequisite to meeting the many challenges that can occur when trying to restore or protect natural systems. This course aims to deepen an understanding of (terrestrial) ecosystem processes from a biogeochemical point of view. Due to the central role of soil in biogeochemical cycles, and thus ecosystem restoration, the course will have a strong focus on basic soil science but also consider (interactive) processes between soils, plants and other components of terrestrial ecosystems. Lab and field exercises will complement lectures and seminars and will impart knowledge on soil analyses and understanding the biogeochemical processes that are a main driver of ecosystem function both locally and at larger scales. During the course we will also discuss human impacts on processes and biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial ecosystems and how to consider this aspect when devising nature-based solutions towards a more sustainable future.
Dieses Modul befasst sich mit Fragen des angewandten Naturschutzes in Zeiten des Globalen Wandels. An konkreten Beispielen in Natur- und Kulturlandschaften (z.B. Natura 2000 Habitate) werden naturschutzfachliche Daten erhoben, ausgewertet und gemeinsam diskutiert. Aspekte des Biotop- und Artenschutzes, der angewandten Landschaftsplanung und eines nachhaltigen Naturschutzmanagements werden unter Einbindung von externen Experten aus der Praxis erörtert.
Die Übung „Baupläne und Organisationsformen“ dient der vertiefenden Beschäftigung mit den Inhalten der Vorlesung „Allgemeine Biologie – organismische Aspekte“; beide Veranstaltungen zusammen bilden das gleichnamige Modul. In der Übung lernen Sie darüber hinaus erste wichtige biologische Arbeitsmethoden (Mikroskopieren, Zeichnen, Präparieren) kennen. Der Kurs vermittelt eine Übersicht über gängige Baupläne und Organisationsformen bei Pflanzen und Tieren. Im ersten Teil des Kurses lernen Sie den zellulären Aufbau und die Struktur von Einzellern bis zu höheren Pflanzen kennen. Hierbei lernen Sie die Technik des Mikroskopierens. Wie Form und Funktion auch bei Tieren zusammenhängen, wird im zweiten Teil des Kurses behandelt. Beim Sezieren widmen wir uns je einem Vertreter der Anneliden und Salmoniden. Durch genaues Hinsehen und präzises Zeichen lernen Sie die wichtigsten Elemente und Strukturen der Präparate genauestens kennen.

2. measurement and significance of physical environmental factors using the example of atmospheric pressure and the solubility of oxygen as a function of temperature.
3. basic operations in the chemical laboratory and introduction to experimental work
4. introductory experiments on soil ecology
Part 1: Importance of soil acidity and soil colors - determination of pH and color of soil horizons
Part 2: Significance of soil types - Granulometric analysis and field method.
