Below Peißenberg, the connections of the old arms and flood channels with the river Ammer were interrupted. The resulting siltation tendencies at the dry falling old waters as well as the missing flooding of the alluvial forest lead to a creeping deterioration of the natural habitats. Only a few remnants of alluvial forest are preserved at the Ammer. Due to the prevented flooding, the tree species composition changes from the original grey alder forest to ash silver willow communities. By diverting several spring streams and connecting them to a system of former flood channels and still existing old waters of the Ammer, the WWF Germany... more
The mountain pine high moor Ödmoos is located north of the city of Traunstein and covers 16 hectares. After World War I the moor was drained and reforested with spruce and pine. The character of the moor was lost to a large extent. In 1985 the renaturation began. Spruce and pine trees were felled and the drainage channels were closed with natural materials such as wood and peat. Volunteers from the Traunstein district group of the Bund Naturschutz continue to regularly remove disturbing spruce, birch, Scots pine and alder buckthorn, which counteract the development of the moor.
The water authority improved the ecological situation of the Attel b creating a permanently flowed side arm, with a altering shore line and slope angles. Natural structure elements implemented in the riverbed produce flow diversity and improve the habitat quality for fish. The created retention area contributes to reduce flood peaks.
"The objectives are to create long term conditions for a metropolitan periurban park Confluence (Soutok in Czech) and introduce tools for coordinated and sustainable development of periurban landscapes. The main aim is to create harmony in between supported natural processes, economical interests and the visitors activities. Set conditions for formation of landscapes rich on natural biotop diversity, transparent and penetrable suburban areas with alive flowing river, side by side agriculture, integrated flood protection and management, and economic and sport activities."
Following 2011 floods, the Copenhagen Concretization Plans were commissioned to combat climate change. "These integrated, multi-disciplinary plans bridge the gap between planning and site-specific solutions through the application of a typology-based Cloudburst Toolkit.
The “Cloudburst Management Plan” addresses 8 central city catchments (Norrebro, Ladegards-aen and Vesterbro, Valby & Vanlose), encompassing a total area of 34 km². It includes 300 separate projects that are expected to run over the course of the next 20 years."
"The lake becomes a multi-fonctional park space with recreation, fitness, and heritage amenities that... more
Moors and litter meadows are endangered mainly from two sides. On the one hand there is the intensification of use in agriculture. A frequent cause is the nutrient input from neighboring areas, which promotes the conversion of vegetation into more nutritious meadow communities or tall herbaceous fields. On the other hand, there is the abandonment of land use, which leads to a lignification of the area. The Landschaftspflegeverband Traunstein maintains these areas by removing woods and mowing the area regularly. In this way the ecosystem functions of moors can be preserved and the flora and fauna can be protected.
The measures are part of... more
The area represents the largest and qualitatively most important bog complex of the Alpine fens in Central Europe. The aim of the project is to secure the totality of the natural or near-natural habitats, in particular the wetlands, nutrient-poor grasslands, moor forests and the forests of the so-called Köchel, on a large scale and permanently and to develop them according to the requirements of nature conservation. Diverse habitats such as the Murnauer Moos would not survive if their near-natural biotopes, such as the moors, were isolated in an otherwise intensively used environment. Up to now, traditionally used areas around the moors,... more
In order to be able to implement the measures for the implementation of the EU Water Framewor Directive and to achieve an ecological improvement along the Günz a water development concept was drawn up. The main objectives are to restore the linear passability of watercourses, to enable self-dynamic development of the river, to improve the structure of the water body and to re-establish the connection of the Günz with the floodplain.
In Deisenhausen structural measures to improve the ecological situation were taken, especially to protect the fish species Common nase. The measures have been coordinated and developed in close cooperation with... more
The BUND Naturschutz maintains an area near Burk that is part of a raised bog. Woody plants are regularly removed to prevent the bog from drying out further.
Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen, is a reminder of the town’s importance as part of the Hanseatic League’s trading empire from the 14th to the mid-16th century and is on UNESCO's list of the world's cultural heritage. For about 30 years large amounts of groundwater have leaked, threatening the survival of the ancient site. Sustainable water treatment and climate adaptation measures (involving the largest rain garden of Norway, swales etc.) at Bryggen have proven to have many advantages, and with an interdisciplinary approach, the water balance at Bryggen now have been restored. (Ref. 1) Develop measurements that stabilize the groundwater,... more
