This comprises the largest and highest area of montane habitat in Britain, much of which is in a relatively pristine condition. It contains the main summits and plateaux with their associated corries, rocky cliffs, crags, boulder fields, scree slopes and the higher parts of some glens and passes. The vegeta- tion is influenced by factors such as exposure, snow cover and soil type. The main zone is considered to be one of the most spectacular mountain areas in Britain and is recognised nationally and internationally for the quality of its geology, geomorphology and topographic features, and associated soils and biodiversity. c14.5% of the Cairngorms Partnership area (75,000ha) is land above 600m asl. Upland heathland is the most extensive habitat type in the Cairngorms Partnership area, covering c41% of the area, frequently in mosaics with blanket bog.

  • Identification and Modelling of a Representative Vulnerable Fish Species for Pesticide Risk Assessment in Europe
    Identification and Modelling of a Representative Vulnerable Fish Species for Pesticide Risk Assessment in Europe Von der Fakultät für Mathematik, Informatik und Naturwissenschaften der RWTH Aachen University zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften genehmigte Dissertation vorgelegt von Lara Ibrahim, M.Sc. aus Mazeraat Assaf, Libanon Berichter: Universitätsprofessor Dr. Andreas Schäffer Prof. Dr. Christoph Schäfers Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 30. Juli 2015 Diese Dissertation ist auf den Internetseiten der Universitätsbibliothek online verfügbar Erklärung Ich versichere, dass ich diese Doktorarbeit selbständig und nur unter Verwendung der angegebenen Hilfsmittel angefertigt habe. Weiterhin versichere ich, die aus benutzten Quellen wörtlich oder inhaltlich entnommenen Stellen als solche kenntlich gemacht zu haben. Lara Ibrahim Aachen, am 18 März 2015 Zusammenfassung Die Zulassung von Pflanzenschutzmitteln in der Europäischen Gemeinschaft verlangt unter anderem eine Abschätzung des Risikos für Organismen in der Umwelt, die nicht Ziel der Anwendung sind. Unvertretbare Auswirkungen auf den Naturhalt sollen vermieden werden. Die ökologische Risikoanalyse stellt die dafür benötigten Informationen durch eine Abschätzung der Exposition der Organismen und der sich daraus ergebenden Effekte bereit. Die Effektabschätzung beruht dabei hauptsächlich auf standardisierten ökotoxikologischen Tests im Labor mit wenigen, oft nicht einheimischen Stellvertreterarten. In diesen Tests werden z. B. Effekte auf das Überleben, das Wachstum und/oder die Reproduktion von Fischen bei verschiedenen Konzentrationen der Testsubstanz gemessen und Endpunkte wie die LC50 (Lethal Concentrations for 50%) oder eine NOEC (No Observed Effect Concentration, z. B. für Wachstum oder Reproduktionsparameter) abgeleitet. Für Fische und Wirbeltiere im Allgemeinen beziehen sich die spezifischen Schutzziele auf das Überleben von Individuen und die Abundanz und Biomasse von Populationen.

Enfield is home to some important populations of nationally and internationally scarce plant and animal species like the great crested newt, and the black redstart (a robin-sized bird) which has been spotted in the east of the borough, and some nationally scarce habitats such as our acid grassland. The Biodiversity Action Plan is about more than protecting our wildlife - conserving and enhancing biodiversity contributes to our health and wellbeing and our economic prosperity, ensuring that we are well placed to adapt to the threat of climate change. Providing quality and biodiverse green spaces for people to enjoy their free time improves the quality of Councillor Del Goddard life for everyone who lives here.

  • Birds and Biodiversity in Germany – 2010 Target
    Birds and Biodiversity i n G e r m a n y Editors The Dachverband Deutscher Avifaunisten (DDA, Federation of German Avifaunists) co-ordinates national-wide bird survey programmes, such as monitoring of breeding and resting birds. As well get as supporting reseach on applied bird conservation, the DDA represents German nature conser- vation organisations on Wetlands International and the European Bird Census Council. 2010 Tar Since more than 100 years the Naturschutzbund Deutschland (NABU, Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union) is involved in practical and political bird and nature conservation. The NABU is the German partner of BirdLife International, it is member of the DNR (German League for Nature and Environment), and since 1971 the NABU chooses the Bird of the Year in Germany (2008: common cuckoo). The Deutsche Rat für Vogelschutz (DRV, German Council for Bird Protection) is a forum, which enables the co-operation and an intensive exchange of experiences between representatives of governmental bird conservation agencies, scientific institutions and NGOs. The aim is to give scientifically well-founded advice to decision takers and to promote scientific knowledge and conservation strategies. The Deutsche Ornithologen-Gesellschaft (DO-G, German Ornithologists’ Society) is one of the oldest scientific associations in the world. Since its formation in 1850, it has promoted ornithology as a pure science as well as in applied research.
