Nationwide land-use data II (based on remote sensing)

Illustration: The photo shows a landscape with pastures, fields, rows of trees and forests. On the pasture in the foreground of the photo grazes a herd of brown cattle.

Goals

The common goal of MonViA and the Biodiversity Exploratories is to analyse the influence of agricultural production and land- use change on biodiversity in the open landscape.
To this end, data on the following parameters will be collected:
– Land-use and management measures on grassland areas (EPs and surroundings)
– Agricultural use in the vicinity of the EPs

Jointly, satellite-based methods for the area-wide characterization of land- use diversity and land -use intensity in the open landscape of the Exploratories will be further developed and validated.

Cooperations are projects financed by the cooperation partners’ own funds and thus financially independent of the DFG-funded infrastructure priority program ‟Biodiversity Exploratories (BE)”. They complement the BE with further interesting research content on biodiversity research and in return benefit from the infrastructure of the Biodiversity Exploratories.
