Phragmites australis and Phalaris arundinacea are among the naturally occurring species that are widespread along the Elbe as a federal waterway.
Quantifying the risks and uncertainties associated with the impacts of climate change and adaptation measures on the German North Sea coast
Biodiversity in the city is one of the priority fields of action of the BMUB's Nature Conservation Initiative 2020 as part of the national biodiversity strategy.
From 2016 to 2020, researchers from the Technische Universität Braunschweig and Leibniz Universität Hannover investigated existing and future strategies for sustainable relationships between urban and rural areas in Lower Saxony.
Openness is a central theme of current social debates when questions of belonging, security or resource distribution are discussed.
Seagrass meadows are important ecosystems that fulfil numerous functions for humans, but are also endangered by them. Seagrass growth occurs in a feedback loop in which existing seagrass dampens waves and currents and reduces water turbidity.
The aim of the subproject is to analyse the effects of Green Infrastructure (GI) properties such as forest condition and spatial connectivity as well as climate variables on the (meta-)population dynamics and occurrence of forest bird species occupying different ecological niches.
Today, intensive agriculture makes a substantial contribution to exceeding the limits of our planet's ecological sustainability.
Climate change is regarded as one of the greatest social challenges of our time and major efforts must be made not only to protect climate but also to adapt to its changes.
The overall objective of the research unit is to provide a new framework for building hydrological models that allow a much more realistic representation of the surface and especially subsurface architecture of catchments at the lower mesoscale (10-200 km2).
Coastal regions will be especially affected by climate change, i.e. rising sea-levels, increase of storms and winter precipitation.
With "Permaculture - Systemic Thinking and Complex Planning", the Institute for Geoecology (IGÖ), supported by teach4TU, has created a teaching format in the summer semester of 2017, which provides students of environmental sciences with an ecologically, socially and economically sound planning strategy.
The interaction of vegetation with waves and currents is of growing interest, especially with regard to the potential benefits of vegetation for coastal and river bank protection measures.
RELease from coastal squEEZE (RELEEZE) aims to identify management options for the barrier islands and the neighbouring mainland coast that allow a shift from a 'hold the line' strategy to a nature-based strategy with increased flexibility and improved adaptability.
The European eel stock is in steep decline and consequently the species has been added to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as critically endangered.
