Konarskio St., LT-03123 Vilnius, Lithuania 5) Nature Research Centre, Institute of Geology and Geography, 13 T. Ševcenkos St., LT-03223 Vilnius, Lithuania Abstract One of the unique places in Europe in both environmental and cultural terms is the Curonian Spit – a massive sandy barrier separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea. Straddling both the Lithuanian and the Russian parts, the spit is included into the UNESCO list of cultural heritage monuments. From the geological point of view, it is still an “alive” environment dominated by aeolian deposits. With the help of modern geophysical and geochronological techniques (ground-penetrating radar [GPR] surveys, LIDAR data, and radiocarbon [14C] dating), detailed investigations of paleosols were carried out in the Dead (Grey) Dunes massif located between Juodkrante and Pervalka settlements on the Lithuanian half of the Curonian Spit. Several soil-forming generations (phases) during 5800–4500, 3900–3100, 2600–2400, and from 1900 calendar years BP until the present have been distinguished. GPR surveys enabled a series of paleogeographic reconstructions of the massif for different time intervals of its evolutionary history.

  • Haustürgeschichten Zwischen Wustrow Und Zingst
    Haustürgeschichten zwischen Wustrow und Zingst Susanne Menning (Text) Dorit Gätjen (Fotos) Mit zehn Zeichnungen von Christian Gätjen HINSTORFFΩ INHALT Spurensuche Seite 7 Wustrow Seite 9 Niehagen und Althagen Seite 27 Ahrenshoop Seite 37 Born Seite 47 Wieck Seite 57 Prerow Seite 69 Zingst Seite 93 Weiterführende Literatur Seite 103 Seltener Anblick – ein alter Türdrücker als Willkommensgruß WUSTROW Aus allen vier Himmelsrichtungen, vom Wasser und vom Lande aus, ist schon von weitem der Kirchturm von Wustrow zu sehen. Die einzige Kirche auf dem Fischland, die 1869–1873 nach dem Abriss eines dreischiffigen gotischen Gotteshauses an gleicher Stel- le errichtet wurde, ist ein guter Ausgangs- und vor allem Aussichts- punkt – vom offenen Umgang des Turmes kann der Besucher weit über das Land seine Blicke schweifen lassen. Den ersten Kirchenbau veranlassten die damaligen Besitzer des Dorfes, die Ribnitzer Nonnen. Wahrscheinlich geht die Bezeich- nung »Fischland« darauf zurück, dass das Kloster seine Abgaben weniger in landwirtschaftlichen Erzeugnissen erhielt, sondern mehr in den für die Fastenanlässe bedeutsamen Fischwaren. Brach- te doch die Landwirtschaft in diesem unwirtlichen Landstrich ge- nerell wenig und in manchen Jahren gar nichts ein. Fisch aber wurde sowohl im Bodden als auch in der Ostsee jahr- hundertelang reichlich gefangen. Für die Ostsee setzte sich dabei eine eigene Fangmethode durch. Die im Frühjahr an der Küste entlangziehenden Heringsströme wurden mit so genannten Wa- dennetzen gefangen, die durch eine Männergruppe eingeholt wer- den mussten. Ein großer Teil der Heringe des Kirchdorfes Wus- trow landete frisch oder konserviert im Ribnitzer Kloster. Für die Boddenfischerei bauten die Bauern einfache, aber gut funktionierende Boote. Damit hatten sie Fertig- und Fähigkeiten im Schiffbau erworben, die später einmal bedeutsam für die ganze Gegend sein würden.

  • Korrektur / Erratum 209
    Herzogia 29 (1), 2016 • Korrektur / Erratum 209 Korrektur / Erratum Zum Artikel / to the paper: Berg, C., Linke, C., Homm, T. & Manthey, M. 2015. Hiddensee – ein bryologischer Hotspot in Norddeutschland. – Herzogia 28: 322–347. In unserer Arbeit hat sich bei der Berechnung der Art-Areal-Beziehungen der Inseln der Nord- und Ostsee ein Fehler eingeschlichen. Wir haben die Größe der Insel Rügen mit 9260 statt mit 926 km² angenommen. Durch das Logarithmieren der Werte schwächt sich der Fehler zwar insgesamt ab, so dass die Grundaussage sich nicht ändert, die konkreten Werte des α-Index verändern sich aber leicht. Aus diesem Grund berichtigen wir hiermit die Abb. 9 und den Text davor (die gesamte Seite 344) in folgender Weise: Abb. 9: Artenzahl-Areal-Beziehung verschiedener Inseln der Nordsee (rot) und Ostsee (blau) in Hinblick auf die Moosflora. Daten der Nordsee (Ostfriesische Inseln) aus Homm (2008), Daten der Ostsee (einschließlich Hiddensee) aus der Floristischen Datenbank für Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, sowie aus de Bryun (1995, Vilm) und Schulz & Dengler (2006, Fehmarn). Fig. 9: Species-area relationship of various northern Germany islands of the North Sea (red) and the Baltic Sea (blue) regarding bryophyte species. Data of the North Sea (East Frisian Islands) from Homm (2008), data of the Baltic Sea (including Hiddensee) from the floristic database for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, as well as from de Bryun (1995, Vilm) and Schulz & Dengler (2006, Fehmarn). Vergleicht man Hiddensee im Hinblick auf den relativen Artenreichtum mit anderen Inseln im norddeutschen Raum, so ergeben sich interessante Erkenntnisse (Abb. 9). Die Gerade zeigt die mittlere Art-Areal-Beziehung an. Die Greifswalder Oie und die Insel Rügen weisen mit einem α-Index von 0.20 den gleichen relativen Artenreichtum auf, obwohl Rügen mit der Halbinsel Jasmund einen bryologischen Hotspot europäischer Dimension besitzt (ECCB 1995, Berg et al.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA The length of the Latvian coastline along the Baltic proper and the Gulf of Riga is 496 km. Circa 123 km of the coastline is affected by erosion. The case area ‘Gulf of Riga’ focuses on coastal development within the Riga metropolitan area, which includes the coastal zone of two urban municipalities (pilsetas) – Riga and Jurmala (Figure 1). Riga is the capital city of Latvia. It is located along the lower stream and the mouth of the Daugava river. Its several districts (Bulli, Daugavgriva, Bolderaja, Vecdaugava, Mangali and Vecaki) lie in the deltas of Daugava and Lielupe rivers and on the Gulf of Riga coast. Jurmala municipality is adjacent to Riga from the west. It stretches ca. 30 km along the Gulf of Riga. It is the largest Latvian and Eastern Baltic seaside resort. 1.1 Physical process level 1.1.1 Classification According to the coastal typology adopted for the EUROSION project, the case study area can be described as: 3b. Wave-dominated sediment. Plains. Microtidal river delta. Within this major coastal type several coastal formations and habitats occur, including the river delta and sandy beaches with bare and vegetated sand dunes.
