Biodiversität, Naturschutz und Ernährungssicherheit - Projektplanung (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Victoria Temperton, Emmeline Topp, Eva Völler
Termin:
wöchentlich | Freitag | 09:15 - 12:15 | 06.04.2020 - 10.07.2020 | C 12.102 Seminarraum | FINDET IN VIRTUELLER FORM STATT
Inhalt: UPDATE: As Alyssa will have told you we are going online this semester except for one trip to the orchard on the 22nd May, where we will work in smaller groups, so can at least experience the orchard once. IMPORTANT: our first introductory session is on the 17th April, Friday, at 9.15. I will invite you all to take part in a ZOOM meeting (do not worry it is not difficult), via email. Then we can have a discussion about the semester and how we are going to teach you online. PLease make sure you attend this introductory meeting as all other tasks will depend on information you gain in this meeting and we will talk about the pecha kucha examination format. OLDER TEXT: We are currently losing pollinators, the bees and the flies and the butterflies, in our intensively managed landscapes and we need theses organisms not least to feed ourselves. What can we do? Come and help us to restore, study and manage cultural landscapes that can provide us with both food and the diversity of life! One of the most important challenges of our time is how to combine biodiversity and food security, as our human population and our influence on the biophysical basis of our existence on earth increases. Many people are no longer connected to nature, and feel alienated from natural processes and places. Our activities are causing major biodiversity decline that in turn affects how our ecosystems that we depend on function and the services they provide for us humans. Although our influence is often negative, there are many ways in which we can have positive effects on biodiversity as well as ensuring food security is possible. What can we do? This course combines key aspects of biodiversity conservation and ecological restoration of degraded ecosystems with the extensive management of cultural landscapes,. The latter provide us with food and resources whilst at the same time fostering biodiversity. It is also highly relevant for the topic of sustainable consumption, as it instills in participants the value of extensively managed landscapes that cannot provide us with huge bumper harvests but are more resilient in face of climate change and provide much more habitat for many species to co-exist with us. In this planning seminar, we will plan projects in detail. Our baseline project is a wonderful cultural landscape site near the village of Wendisch-Evern, where together with the a traditional orchard club (Streuobstwiesenverein) in November 2016 we restored an apple (and cherry and pear) orchard to a degraded horse paddock with low biodiversity and high nutrients in the soils (not good for biodiversity). Since the restoration action we have been doing two main things with different student cohorts: 1) tracking how the plants and animals change at the site over time; we expect that the biodiversity of plants and insects and birds will increase over time, as we remove nutrients by mowing or grazing the site and this is good for promoting more plant and hence also animal species. 2) We are testing whether we can attract even more insects to the site but planting different grassland plants under each of the 15 apple trees; more tasty clover and co species (Klee) or forbs species that attract pollinators but are not quite as tasty as the clover and co species. This is the first time that anybody has studied this option scientifically in a traditional orchard, and if it works, it may be a nice option for attracting more pollinators to many other orchard sites. We are embedded in a cultural landscape including returning wolves and a shephard who does not want to have her sheep at our site - there are plenty of socio-ecological topics within the overall topic of the magic orchard and its transformation over time. GENERAL INFO: This course is one several different courses in the sustainability minor (sustainable consumption, sustainable governance, life cycles)- you need to choose one of the main courses and then you stick to this course over two years. This course in the summer semester, Module 3 and 4, takes place in the third semester of your minor. Building on the preceding modules introducing you to transdisciplinary research and projects, and to the key concepts and methods in ecological restoration, this semester you take part in two seminars that move into the more active sphere.
Governance - Data collection and analysis (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Julia Leventon, Ioana-Alexandra Patru-Duse, Jan Urban
Termin:
wöchentlich | Freitag | 08:15 - 09:45 | 06.04.2020 - 10.07.2020 | C 12.009 Seminarraum | FINDET IN VIRTUELLER FORM STATT
Inhalt: In this seminar in the minor programme (governance strand), we focus on doing research projects. Originally, we were going to collect and analyse data according to the methodologies that you designed last semester. However, we will not be able to do qualitative research in the biosphere this semester. We have therefore redesigned the data collection to be quantitative and online. The teaching staff will lead this online data collection project, but you, as a group will still be collecting and analysing data, and finding preliminary answers to your research questions. Teaching in this seminar will be through participation in the research project, online team meetings, and supervision meetings throughout. More details will be available in the course handbook to be uploaded on MyStudy by 3rd April. NOTE - this seminar runs parallel to the seminar on project development. By the end of this semester, you should have preliminary answers to your research questions. We will work further in the following semester to understand the broader relevance and limitations of these answers, and how to contribute to broader understandings in the biosphere, and more generally for sustainability governance.
Komplexe Systeme transformieren I - Interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit (Nachhaltiger Konsum) (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Simon Burandt, Steffen Pabst
Termin:
wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 08:15 - 09:45 | 06.04.2020 - 10.07.2020 | C 12.010 Seminarraum | FINDET IN VIRTUELLER FORM STATT
Einzeltermin | Fr, 24.04.2020, 14:30 - So, 26.04.2020, 16:00 | extern | Exkursion
Inhalt: Es wird interdisziplinär Wissen im Kontext des in Mi-NHW-1 (SoSe 2020) begonnenen Themenfeldes generiert und eine komplexe Projektaufgabe unter Berücksichtigung der gegebenen Fächerzusammensetzung entwickelt. Darauf aufbauend werden problemorientierte Forschungsfragen erarbeitet und die Grundlagen für die Gruppenarbeit gelegt.
