Josef Pröll Umweltminister/ Minister of Environment 1 Österreichischer Nationalpark-Forschungspreis Am 06. Dezember 2006 hat Bundesminister Pröll in feier- lichem Rahmen im Hauptgebäude, Stubenring, die Ur- kundenverleihung des 2. Österreichischen Nationalpark- Forschungspreises für DiplomandInnen vorgenommen. Ausgezeichnet wurden 31 DiplomandInnen, welche aus einem Kreis von 54 Einreichenden durch eine Jury hervor- gingen. Unter den Einreichungen waren alle österreichi- schen Universitäten, mit Ausnahme von Innsbruck, sowie eine Fachhochschule vertreten. Führend war die UNI Wien, gefolgt von UNI Graz, BOKU Wien, UNI Salzburg, WU Wien, UNI Linz, FH Joanneum so- wie TU Wien. 6 Einreichungen von verschiedenen auslän- dischen Universitäten waren ebenfalls vertreten. Der Forschungspreis, der bereits zum zweiten Mal hohes Interesse bei den StudentInnen hervorrief, war mit 1.000, € dotiert. Ziel des Preises ist es, die innovativsten, kreativsten und für den jeweiligen Nationalpark brauch- barsten Arbeiten zu honorieren. Der Nationalpark Donau- Auen hatte diesmal mit 19 Arbeiten den höchsten Zu- spruch. Aufgrund des hohen Interesses wird der Forschungspreis 2007 zum dritten Mal ausgeschrieben werden (siehe Pla- kat rechts). Zielgruppe werden DiplomandInnen sowie erstmals auch DissertantInnen in- sowie ausländischer Universitäten und Fachhochschulen sein. 2 Preisverleihung Nationalpark-Forschungspreis 2006 DI Regina ANNINGER, Wien Mag.

Häufigste Art der stehenden Gewässer war der Grasfrosch, gefolgt vom Springfrosch mit den höchsten Dichten in Fugnitzsee und Fugnitzgraben. Die höch- sten Erdkrötendichten fanden sich im Wolfsteich. Artenreichstes Laichgewässer im Nationalpark war der Fugnitzsee mit sieben laichenden Amphibienarten. In der angrenzenden Agrarlandschaft war der Johanneskreuz-Graben mit einer Gesamtzahl von acht Amphibienarten, davon sechs mit Fortpflanzungsnachweis, das artenreich- ste Gewässer des Untersuchungsgebiets. Die Bäche waren Laichgewässer für drei Amphibienarten: Feuersalamander, Grasfrosch und Erdkröte. Abstract Amphibians of the Thayatal National Park In 2006 and 2007 ten amphibian species bred in 26 stagnant waters and some brooks in the Thayatal National Park and its surrounding agricultural landscape. Rana tem- poraria was the most frequent species, followed by Rana dalmatina reaching the hig- hest densities at Fugnitzsee and Fugnitzgraben. The spawning density of Bufo bufo was highest at the Wolfsteich. The location with most spawning species was the Fugnitzsee (seven breeding species). Within the agricultural landscape the Johanneskreuz-Graben with eight species, six of them breeding, was most diverse.

Altogether, 3,606 species were identi- fi ed. In the fi nal monograph resulting from our research (BARTÁK M., KUBÍK Š. (eds.) 2005: Diptera of Podyjí National Park and its Environs. – ČZU Praha, 432 pp.) we reported 137 records of new species in the Czech Republic and another 155 in Moravia. The most striking feature of the Podyjí NP’s Diptera fauna is the surprisingly frequent occurrence of species with clear affi nity to mounta- inous habitats. A relatively large number of the species collected in the Podyjí NP were obviously obtained due to the effi cient collecting methods used (Malaise traps, white and yellow pan water traps, emergence traps, sweeping, car nets, etc.). The Podyjí NP proved to be very important for nature conservation, altogether 252 species included in the recent regional Red list were found (= 26.1% of all Czech species included) and several species discovered for the fi rst time in the Czech Republic by the present investigations in this area were proposed in addition to this list.

    NPDA 42 2016: Guiding Concepts for Conservation of the Lower Austrian Green Belt. Schweiger

    Heft 42/2016 Guiding Concepts for Conservation of the Lower Austrian Green Belt Das Europäische Grüne Band erstreckt sich entlang des ehemaligen Eisernen Vorhangs durch ganz Europa und ver- bindet dabei ausgedehnte, naturnahe Biotopflächen und wertvolle Kulturlandschaften mit wachsenden Siedlungsräu- men und intensiv genutzten Agrarlandschaften. Diese Studie beschäftigt sich mit dem momentanen Status Quo der Initiative Grünes Band Österreich, sie gibt Einblick in den Wert der Landschaften dieser Region für den Naturschutz und bietet konkrete Vorschläge für die zukünftige Entwicklung der Initiative Grünes Band Österreich und der Nie- derösterreichischen Grenzgebiete. Eva Schweiger Guiding Concepts for Conservation of the Lower Austrian Green Belt Eva Schweiger, 2015 Abstract Stretching across Europe along the former Iron Curtain, the European Green Belt connects large undisturbed natural biotopes and valuable cultural landscapes with developing urban areas and intensively used agricultural landscapes. The European Green Belt initiative’s main goal is to preserve and restore a pan-European ecological network with a connecting function for species and habitats as well as for conservation work. This study investigates the current status quo of the Austrian Green Belt initiative in regard of organisational structures and conservation activities. Furthermore, a spatial analysis of one specific part of the Austrian borderlands, the Lower Austrian Green Belt, sheds light on the value of this region’s landscapes for nature conservation and clearly shows that the Iron Curtain’s preserving effect is still present in proximity to the border. The conserved valuable cultural landscapes and (semi-) natural biotope areas can and should contribute to the Lower Austrian Green Belt’s integrity and the functioning of the ecological network.
