  • 1/2 the Weather in Germany in Spring 2020 Exceptionally
    The weather in Germany in spring 2020 Exceptionally sunny, fairly warm and far too dry Offenbach, 29 May 2020 – As in the previous year, the spring of 2020 was fairly warm. For most of the time, the weather in Germany was dominated by warm air, with just a few short cold snaps. At first, spring 2020 continued the trend of warmer-than-average months, which had started in June 2019 and only ended this May, when the temperature anomaly became slightly negative. Frequent high pressure produced one of the sunniest spring seasons since records began; at the same time, precipitation remained significantly below average. This has been announced by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) after an initial analysis of the observations from its approximately 2000 measuring stations. Mild March and warmer-than-average April followed by slightly too cool May The average temperature in the spring of 2020 was 9.2 degrees Celsius (°C), 1.5 °C above the average of the international standard reference period 1961–1990. Compared to the warmer 1981–2010 reference period, the deviation was 0.7 °C above normal. Spring began with a mild March, which, however, saw a drop in temperature around the 20th with maximum temperatures often not exceeding single-digit figures. April, too, was significantly too warm, even belonging to the seven warmest April months since measurements began in 1881. May was slightly too cool, despite some stations in the south registering up to seven summer days with temperatures over 25 °C. This spring’s nationwide maximum temperature of 29.4 °C was recorded in Lingen in the Emsland on 21 May.

  • Indicators of Hemeroby for the Monitoring of Landscapes in Germany
    Indicators to monitor the structural diversity of landscapes Ulrich Walz Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development, Weberplatz 1, 01217 Dresden, Germany Ecological Modelling 295 (2015) 88–106, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2014.07.011 ABSTRACT An important level of biodiversity, alongside the diversity of genes and species, is the diversity of ecosystems and landscapes. In this contribution an indicator system is proposed to measure natural diversity (relief, soils, waters), cultural diversity (main land use classes, diversity of land use, ecotones, connectivity) and anthropogenic impacts (fragmentation, hemeroby, protection).The contribution gives an overview of various indicators on landscape diversity and heterogeneity currently used in Germany andEurope. Based on these indicators a complementary system, is presented. The indicators introduced here are derived from regular evaluations of the digital basis landscape model (BasicDLM) of the Authoritative Topographic-Cartographic Information System (ATKIS), the digital land cover model for Germany (LBM-DE) as well as other supplementary data such as the mapping of potential natural vegetation. With the proposed indicators it is possible to estimate cumulative land-use change and its impact on the environmental status and biodiversity, so that existing indicator systems are supplemented with meaningful additional information. Investigations have shown that indicators on forest fragmentation, hemeroby or ecotones can be derived from official geodata. As such geodata is regularly updated, trends in indicator values can be quickly identified. Large regional differences in the distribution of the proposed indicators have been confirmed, thereby revealing deficits and identifying those regions with a high potential for biodiversity. The indicators will be successively integrated into the web-based land-use monitor (http://www.ioer-monitor.de), which is freely available for public use.
