The aim of this bachelor thesis is to find out whether the Flora Incognita app and Ellenberg's method of ecological indicator values are suitable for use by citizen scientists to assess the state of renaturalisation of floodplains. It is investigated to what extent the various sites in the Sierndorfer Hufeisen...
Im Rahmen dieser Bachelorarbeit wurden verschiedene Citizen Science taugliche Methoden zur Messung und Berechnung der Baumbiomasse und der in ihr gespeicherten Kohlenstoff- und CO2-Mengen in einer Flussaue untersucht....
Diese Bachelor-Arbeit analysiert vier Methoden zur Erfassung der Phytomasse und damit des Kohlenstoffspeicherpotenzials krautiger Pflanzen im Hinblick auf ihre Effizienz, Genauigkeit und Eignung für Citizen-Science-Projekte. Des Weiteren wird analysiert, ob es signifikante Unterschiede im Kohlenstoffspeicher krautiger Pflanzen zwischen fünf verschiedenen Standorten in einem Gebiet am Altarm Sierndorf an der March...
Im Rahmen der Bachelor-Arbeit wurden im Untersuchungsgebiet Hufeisen Sierndorf Bodenproben an vier unterschiedlichen aquatischen Auen-Habitaten entnommen. Dabei wurden einfache und aufwendigere Citizen Science Methoden sowie eine Laboranalyse miteinander verglichen. Der durchschnittliche Anteil an organischem Gehalt in der Trockenmasse beträgt 10,91%. Bei den pflanzenverfügbaren Nährstoffen lagen die Durchschnittswerte bei 5,41μg/g N-NH4,...
Das EU- Projekt „Restore4Life“ plant die Renaturierung von Fluss- und Auenlandschaften im Donaubecken, in Zusammenarbeit mit Citizen Scientists. Die nachstehende Fallstudie soll in diesem Rahmen das Potential und die Grenzen transdisziplinärer Arbeit, hinsichtlich der Datengenerierung zur Beurteilung von Ökosystemdienstleistungen aufzeigen. In Hohenau an der March, einer Gemeinde nahe den March-Thaya-Auen,...
This paper argues for a fusion between community-based co-design and futuring as an approach for alternative and innovative technology development in rural indigenous settings in Africa. We base our argument on theoretical propositions and two prior empirical project cases in Namibia that applied Community-based co-design and futuring. The cases focus...
The Restore4Life project employs a systematic stakeholder engagement strategy that includes stakeholder identification, database development, mapping and clustering, formulating an engagement strategy, and establishing communication channels for 222 Restor e4Life communicative stakeholders. A critical aspect is The Restore4Life project employs a systematic stakeholder engagement strategy that includes stakeholder identification, database...
The report presents the results from PESTLE analyses with stakeholders at the four project Implementation Sites where restoration actions are planned. The overall importance of various socio-economic and environmental factors was assessed as broadly similar in all countries. However there were some clear differences between EU Member States and non-EU...
This report presents an extensive examination of wetland restoration success factors, synthesizing findings from a systematic literature review combined with a thematic analysis and expert opinion. The study aims to provide a holistic understanding of the diverse elements contributing to successful wetland restoration projects, encompassing ecological, societal, governance, functional, climate...
The Restore4Life comprehensive roadmap and action plan for holistic wetland restoration address the main steps and challenges during the restoration process. It provides strategies and recommendations to guide restoration initiatives effectively and demonstrates respective examples from practice. It is meant as a “demonstrator” which accompanies Deliverable D 1.1 “Wetland Restoration...
