Wetland aesthetics versus wetland functions. Teaching materials.
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current materials encourage reflection on how aesthetic perceptions influence attitudes toward floodplains. Students analyse landscape preferences, explore ecological functions, and discuss how beauty and utility shape restoration acceptance.
Carbon sequestration and storage in soils. Teaching materials
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current materials exüplains how wetlands act as carbon sinks. Through experiments, discussions, and games, learners explore carbon sequestration and storage in wetland soils such as floodplains and peatlands. The word file can be adapted to the requirements of the respective learning situation

Assessments of the Status of Water Bodies in Wetlands by Citizen Scientists. Guideline and Protocols
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we developed protocols for citizen scientists to assess wetland water bodies.
Assessing carbon stocks using the Invest Model – Guidelines and templates
Within the Horizon Europe Project Restore4Life (restore4life.eu), we developed a guideline for using the freely available Invest Model to assess organic carbon stocks in wetlands. The materials contain a guide for carbon stocks, a guide for carbon pools and a calculation template.
Assessments of Recreation and Education Services in Wetlands by Citizen Scientists
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed protocols for Citizen Scientists to assess ecosystem services of wetlands. The current document contains protocols for assessing educational trails, recreation facilities, and parking areas (cultural ES). The word document can be translated and changed according to the needs of the users.
Assessments of Organic Carbon Stocks in Wetlands by Citizen Scientists – Guideline and Protocols
The document contains Citizen Science protocols for assessing carbon stocks in tree biomass and in wetland soils (floodplain forests, peatlands). We have added comments for scientists and references. The word document can be adapted to the needs of the users.
