Berchtesgaden - Salzburg: Improving the ecological network of extensive grasslands
by zopemaster — published Mar 26, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:15 AM — filed under: ,
Extensively cultivated grasslands are important landscape elements for ecological connectivity in the pilot region Berchtesgaden - Salzburg. Improving these habitats will help to safeguard species such as butterflies, dragonflies or grasshoppers. This is one of the tasks of the subprojects within ECONNECT which are currently being finalised.

Alpine riverine landscapes: connectivity, barriers and fragmentation
by zopemaster — published Mar 26, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:15 AM — filed under: ,
How strongly is a river landscape fragmented? What are the most important barriers and obstacles in Alpine rivers? These questions are in the focus of the Institute of Ecology from University of Innsbruck within its ECONNECT activities. The results will be visualized with the help of GIS and contacts to regional watershed authorities established for the reduction of barrier impacts and restoration.

Less barriers, more nature!
by zopemaster — published Sep 30, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:26 AM — filed under: ,
Every day we build new obstacles on the migrating routes for animals and we prevent plants to spread freely. In most of the cases we are not even aware of this problem. How would it feel and look like, if our living spaces would suddenly get fragmented by obstacles we cannot easily overcome?
