Basic Investigations

Landscape ecological assessments (survey of landuse, large and small structured habitats etc.) Ascertainment of aquatic and terrestrial fauna (vertebrates, insects and other invertebrates, microflora and –fauna) Biological and chemical water quality assessment Multivariate statistical analysis of complex biotic/abiotic interactions Survey and determination of vegetation and flora Underwater mapping (for example: aquatic plants for water quality assessment in lakes, backwaters, etc.)

Analysis/Evaluation/Planning

Analysis and evaluation of the surveyed species, their habitats etc. as well as the preparation of goal outlines, for example for Assessment of conditions of protective areas and protection worthy landscapes Care and development plans Plans for the care of bodies of waters Success control of the conservation of nature and the preservation of the landscape as well as nature conservation programs Landscape conservation accompanying plans Interventions- and equalizations balancing Biological and landscape ecological long-term observation as well as taking of evidence Environmental tolerance tests/studies (UVP/UVS) Assessment of the biological and chemical water quality Compilation and realization of species and programs Landscape planning

Development

Development of methods of appraisal of habitat, communities or measures of nature conservation and preservation of the landscape (e.g.: success control) Development of methods and concepts for the observation of landscape changes and change of the population size of the fauna and flora (landscape ecological and biological long-term observation) Development of special data files (for example: literature data files, autecology data files, occurrence data files etc.)

Documentation and Public Relations

Compilation of pictorial documentation of the landscape and its changes Photographic archive with pictures, for example of types of habitat, fauna and flora species etc. Compilation of instruction sheets, leaflets, and pamphlets inclusive editorial treatment Provision of showcases, posters, display, exposition contributions Participation and organization on/of conferences Associate edition of conference volumes of hydrobiological/-ecological professional journals and books
