Prof. Dr. Christoph Scherber

Unit:

Centre for Biodiversity Monitoring and Conservation Science (zbm), Conservation Ecology, Experimental and Applied Ecology

Description

The extraction of bulk raw materials such as gravel, sand, clay and gypsum may have considerable effects on ecosystems. The project aims to preserve and promote biodiversity inextraction sites of the building materials industry. At the ZBM, a systematic biodiversity monitoring system will be established that can be applied in a corporate context of the building materials industry. Both traditional and technology-driven methods of biodiversity monitoring will be employed.
