  • Verbreitung, Lebensräume Und Gefährdung Der Sumpfschrecke Stethophyma Grossum (L., 1758) (Saltatoria) in Der Steiermark
    Joannea Zool. 6: 223–246 (2004) Verbreitung, Lebensräume und Gefährdung der Sumpfschrecke Stethophyma grossum (L., 1758) (Saltatoria) in der Steiermark Anton KOSCHUH Zusammenfassung: Die Sumpfschrecke gilt als stenotoper Bewohner des nassen Grün- landes. Die vorliegende umfassende Kartierung gibt erstmals einen groben Überblick über die Verbreitung der Sumpfschrecke in der Steiermark. Bedeutende Vorkommen wurden in folgenden Landesteilen gefunden: 1. Sausal und Stainzbachtal, 2. Bezirk Radkersburg, 3. Lafnitztal und 4. Ennstal und Salzkammergut. In der Steiermark besie- delt die Sumpfschrecke grünlandwirtschaftlich genutzte Talböden mit geringem Gefälle. Zu einem Verschwinden der Populationen in einigen Gebieten führte flächendeckender Maisanbau, der stets auch mit einer umfassenden Drainagierung ganzer Landschaften einher ging. Das Verschwinden der Sumpfschrecke kann als Indiz für die Verarmung steirischer Kulturlandschaften herangezogen werden. Abstract: The Large Marsh Grasshopper is restricted to large areas of periodically floo- ded wet grassland. This paper presents for the first time numerous colonized sites in Styria (Austria). Most important settlements have been found out in 1. Sausal and Stainzbachtal, 2. district of Radkersburg, 3. Lafnitztal and 4. in the northern Part of Styria in Ennstal and Salzkammergut. In Styria Stethophyma grossum lives in open val- leys with grassland. Reason for decline in Styria was traced out in river-regulation and following arable farming instead of grassland. Further more indicates the decrease of Stethophyma grossum the loss of grassland-diversity and the loss of grassland general- ly in cultivated landscapes. 1. Einleitung Durch den europaweiten Rückgang von Feuchtgebieten und extensiven Grünland gilt die Sumpfschrecke in allen Vorkommensgebieten als gefährdet. Als Charakterart exten- siv genutzter Biotopkomplexe in Feuchtgebieten ist sie Gegenstand von Naturschutzbe- mühungen.

  • Responsible Resource Management
    Responsible Resource Management Handbook for the Austrian Waste Management Industry This Green Book is intended as a standard reference for sustainable resource management and services of general interest. It is a valuable source of information and a decision-making aid for politicians, industry professionals, government offi cials, partners and all waste management stakeholders. If we really want to leave a world worth living in to our children and give humanity a future perspective, it is essential that private- and public-sector entities cooperate in the provision of services of general interest. The overall responsibility of the community cannot be delegated to individuals. Sustainable resource management and the services of general interest concern us all.

  • Regionalentwicklung Im „Neuen“ Bezirk Südoststeiermark Stärken, Schwächen, Chancen Und Risiken
    Regionalentwicklung im „neuen“ Bezirk Südoststeiermark Stärken, Schwächen, Chancen und Risiken Diplomarbeit zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades einer Magistra der Naturwissenschaften an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz vorgelegt von Sabrina SCHLÖGL am Institut für Geographie und Raumforschung Begutachter: Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr.phil. Peter ČEDE Graz, 2015 Eidesstattliche Erklärung Ich erkläre ehrenwörtlich, dass ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbstständig und ohne fremde Hilfe verfasst habe, andere als die angegebenen Quellen nicht verwendet wurden und die den benutzten Quellen wörtlich oder inhaltlich entnommenen Stellen als solche gekennzeichnet sind. Die Arbeit wurde bisher in gleicher oder ähnlicher Form keiner anderen inländischen oder ausländischen Prüfungsbehörde vorgelegt und auch nicht veröffentlicht. Die vorliegende Fassung entspricht der eingereichten elektronischen Version. Feldbach, im August 2015 ..................................................... Sabrina SCHLÖGL 2 Vorwort Das Thema meiner Diplomarbeit habe ich aufgrund meiner engen Verbundenheit mit meiner Heimatregion, dem Bezirk Südoststeiermark, gewählt. Anhand meines im Studium erworbenen Fachwissens nutzte ich nun die Möglichkeit, im Rahmen meiner Diplomarbeit, den Bezirk Südoststeiermark und im gleichen Zug auch die Region Steierisches Vulkanland zu untersuchen. Mir war es wichtig, mich mit meiner Heimat intensiver auseinanderzusetzen und sie aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zu betrachten. Die Forschung an diesem Thema erwies sich als äußerst spannend und vielfältig. Im Zuge der Ausarbeitung dieser Diplomarbeit steigerte sich mein Interesse und Wissen zur Thematik Regionalentwicklung im Bezirk Südoststeiermark deutlich. An dieser Stelle möchte ich mich bei all den Menschen bedanken, die mich während meines Studiums und besonders in der Phase meiner Diplomarbeit begleitet und unterstützt haben. Besonders möchte ich mich bei meinem Betreuer Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr.phil. Peter Čede, der mir diese Diplomarbeit über meine Heimatregion überhaupt erst ermöglichte, für die Unterstützung bedanken.
