Description: Das Projekt "Long-term Driving Factors & Land Use Policies in Europe" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Forstliche Versuchs- und Forschungsanstalt Baden-Württemberg durchgeführt. The basic and unifying question of this project is to what extent and how ecosystems maintain their resilience towards the different impacting factors (i.e. climate change). This again impinges on biodiversity conservation strategies. Of special interest hereby is how different/similar ecosystems and species react in different vegetation zones and eco-regions under different climatic conditions and disturbance/driving factors? What are the thresholds of the resilience of ecosystems under increasing temperatures due to climatic change, and what will be the response of communities that have not experienced such disturbances in the past? This project will cover the whole northern boreal region using pristine Russian forests as a reference. It would provide a careful evaluation of this long geographical, political and historical gradient of different land-use politics and their biodiversity effects from Russia via the Baltic countries to central Europa. This would be helpful in understanding and predicting the future changes and choosing management strategies. Although there is a great deal of interest in the biological diversity in species/ecosystem and genetic level, it is only recently that researchers have started to investigate the processes that exert parallel influences on these different levels of biodiversity. Policy aimed at conserving biodiversity has focused on species diversity. Loss of genetic diversity, however, can affect population resistance, evolutionary genetic potential, and population fitness. Species diversity and genetic diversity may be correlated as a result of processes acting in parallel at the two levels. However, no intensive studies have been conducted so far to predict the conditions under which different relationships between species diversity and genetic diversity might arise and therefore when one level of diversity may be predicted using the other. In this project all these levels of biodiversity will be included in a interdisciplinated study. This project will address the integration of data depicting long-term landscape history with present day data (such as statistical, GIS and Remote Sensing data, etc.) and models predicting future developments.
