Impact of Landscape Change on Landscape Functions in the Saxon Switzerland
Impact of Landscape Change on Landscape Functions in the Saxon Switzerland Ulrich Walz, Leibniz Institute of Ecological and Regional Development, Dresden, Ger- many, Sebastian Wolf, Institute of Plant Sciences, ETH Zurich, Switzerland, Marco Neubert, Leibniz Institute of Ecological and Regional Development, Dresden, Germany Keywords: landscape analysis, landscape fragmentation, soil erosion, landscape struc- ture, nature-oriented recreation value Abstract In this contribution the effects on environmental protection assets and landscape func- tions are examined on the basis of the analysis of the past landuse structure changes (see preceding contribution). Exemplary investigations into abiotic (e.g. soil erosion) and biotic (e.g. flora) landscape functions were made. The effects on the potential use of landscape for the human being (e.g. suitability for recreation) were modelled. Fur- thermore, the protection asset “unfragmented open space” was examined. For these purposes new methods and models were developed and existing GIS tools extended by self made adjustments. In the result, clear effects of the changed landuse structure on the examined landscape functions can be shown. 1 Motivation Changes to landscapes, especially changes in the way in which land is used, result in alterations to the landscape structure – and hence also to the abiotic and biotic func- tions and potentials of a landscape. Central Europe is a region dominated by anthro- pogenic development for housing, trade, industry and intensive agriculture. Especially within the last 60 years the human exploitation of natural resources such as soil, water and flora, fauna and space itself due to urban expansion was on a far greater scale than ever before (BASTIAN and SCHREIBER, 1999).

Saxony – a Pearl of Germany's Musical Landscape When Music
Saxony – a pearl of Germany’s musical landscape When music lovers in Saxony talk about the region’s musical infrastructure, they proudly speak about the densest theatre and orchestra structure in Germany. When music aficionados from all over the world rave about performances at Semper Opera, Leipzig Opera, Chemnitz Opera or the concerts of Dresden’s “Kreuzchor“ choir, St Thomas’s Boys Choir or Leipzig’s Gewandhaus Orchestra, they have been following the traces of composers such as Richard Wagner, Robert Schumann, Carl Maria von Weber and Johann Sebastian Bach. Impressive music Saxony’s musical landscape is unparalleled in Germany. No other federal state has so many concert halls, stages and museums, is so full of outstanding architecture and sophisticated arts and culture events. Internationally respected theatre and music productions, topnotch festivals and historical and contemporary exhibitions characterise Saxony’s cultural landscape. They take place in opera houses, palaces, castles, parks and historical structures, in quarries, churches and on squares. Each year, there are over 40 nationally and internationally renowned music festivals featuring world-famous artists, such as Dresden Music Festival, Bach Festival Leipzig, Moritzburg Festival, “Sandstein & Musik“ Festival or Görlitz Jazz Days. Impressive scenery Saxony’s scenery, too, can be experienced in a musical way: Famous composers were inspired by the monumental rocks of Saxon Switzerland, for example, or the enchanting river landscape along the Elbe and left works of art that are based on how they experienced Saxony’s unique natural beauty. Carl-Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner composed famous operas in Saxony such as “Der Freischütz“, “Tannhäuser“ and “Lohengrin“.

F. 42 (2009): 197–215 197 Florenwandel in der Sächsischen Schweiz – Geographisches Informationssystem erlaubt Vergleich mit historischen Daten 11 Abbildungen und 2 Tabellen Ulrich Walz und Frank Müller Abstract Walz, U.; Müller, F.: Changes of the flora of Saxon Switzerland – GIS allows comparison with his- torical data. – Hercynia N.F. 42 (2009): 197–215. In the area of Saxon Switzerland (Germany), a historical plant mapping project was carried out by Hans Förster between the 1920s and the 1960s, the data of which are still available today. Within the scope of this mapping project, the occurrence of plant species was recorded for a grid with a cell size of 1*1 km. These data were digitised and imported into a geographic information system. The comparison of these data with the results of a current mapping of the flora of Saxon Switzerland allows for detailed conclu- sions on spatial changes of the floral distribution. Especially affected by decrease are species of moun- tain meadows and mat grass swards, species of periodically wet grasslands, species of mesophile to thermophile edges, species of wet meadows, species of lowland hay meadows on lightly to moderately fertilised soils, species of calcareous fens, species of semi-natural dry grasslands, species of thermophile forests and species of transitional mires.
