Sustainable landscape management of protected areas in UNESCO-biosphere reserves (BR) has become an increasingly important topic for academics and environmental practitioners, yet it remains unclear how this can be operationalized in actual regional circumstances. To achieve positive and measurable sustainability impacts, effective BR management on...
The provision of ecosystem services (ES) in agricultural landscapes depends, inter alia, on agricultural production, and can therefore be influenced by governance. To capture the impacts of governance on ES via agriculture, we proposed and tested an analytical framework – based on agricultural location theory – to describe possible agricultural imp...
Provisioning ecosystem services play a vital role in sustaining human well-being. Agro-ecosystems contribute a significant share of these services, besides food and fodder and also fuel and fibre as well as regulating and cultural ecosystem services. Until now, the indication of provisioning ecosystem services of agro-ecosystems has been based almo...
With the 'Criteria for Designation and Evaluation of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in Germany', the German MAB National Committee defined representativeness as a structural criterion which is a prerequisite for designation. In this article, the German UNESCO biosphere reserves are analysed according to their representativeness. The examination is based...
The paper provides an overview of land use in the transition zones of biosphere reserves in Germany. It focuses on agricultural land use. We conduct a general comparison of biosphere reserves on a national level, supplemented by more detailed analysis of biosphere reserves in the state of Brandenburg. Firstly, we derive types of land-use constellat...
Croplands and pastures represent one of the greatest terrestrial biomes on earth. In Europe, agriculture is a leading land-use which constitutes nearly half of the EU-27 land area. Modern, intensified agriculture is among other factors characterized by an increasing use of pesticides, where pesticides are plant protection products and biocides (e.g...
Coexistence measures such as isolation distances aim at minimizing conflicts between genetically modified (GM) and non-GM agricultural systems. Depending on landscape structure such as field sizes, field distribution and cropping patterns, these measures may spatially restrict GM cropping. Additional restrictions on GM cropping may be caused by env...
The coexistence of agricultural production with and without the use of genetically modified (GV) crops is supposed to be made possible in Germany by regulations, which include minimal distances of GV-fields to potentially susceptible crop fields and habitats. To explore the impact of these regulations on region specific coexistence potentials, we b...
Um eine bundesweite Abschätzung zur Verteilung von GV-Mais- und Nicht-GV-Maisfeldern, zur Möglichkeit ihrer Koexistenz sowie zum Genfluss zwischen diesen Flächen treffen zu können, war es erforderlich, die in den Regionalstudien entwickelten methodischen Ansätze anzupassen und anzuwenden. Eine direkte Übertragung der Ergebnisse der Regionalstudien...
Die Region Märkisch-Oderland, östlich von Berlin gelegen, ist der Schwerpunkt der landwirtschaftlichen Nutzung von Bt-Mais MON810 in Deutschland. Hier existieren seit 2005 Erfahrungen mit dem kommerziellen Anbau. Der Bt-Mais MON810 ist der einzige gentechnisch veränderte Organismus (GVO), der bisher in relevanter Menge in Deutschland angebaut wurde...
Nach der EU-Richtlinie 2001/18/EC (European Community 2001) soll eine Koexistenz zwischen konventionell, ökologisch und mit Mitteln der Gentechnik erzeugtem Mais (GV-Mais) gewährleistet werden. Für den Anbau und für die Weiterverarbeitung soll die Entscheidungsfreiheit der Landwirte und Verbraucher offen gehalten werden. Somit muss in der Agrarland...
Das Modell MaMo kann je nach Datenverfügbarkeit für Räume mit mehr als 70.000 Feldern angewendet werden. Das Potenzial der Modellanwendungen umfasst damit Skalen von mehreren Quadratkilometern bis zu mehreren 10.000 Quadratkilometern. Modellläufe können sowohl ausgewählte Regionen und Landkreise, aber auch größere Bundesländer abbilden. Im Rahmen d...
EU legislation stipulates that GM crops have to be monitored for potential adverse environmental effects. Monitoring preferably should take place in the most exposed areas-the cultivated fields and their neighbouring environment. Current monitoring designs do not give detailed consideration to the different exposure intensities in agricultural prac...
Allochthonous fine organic particles (0.45μm–1mm, FPOM) are a significant natural source for biotic production of alkalinity in acidic, post-mining waters. Hence, the depositional characteristics and the nature of FPOM are of interest to remediation. Our objectives were firstly, to determine interactions between allochthonous FPOM and water affecte...
The organic matter and its association with minerals was analysed in the sediment of an extremely acidic, iron- and sulphate-rich outlet of a mining lake in the post-mining landscape, Lausitz (Germany). The analysed sediment consisted of iron-oxyhydroxides and iron- oxyhydroxisulphats. The sediment sampling sites were at a distance of 0, 10, 25, 52...
