July 18, 2024

From May to September, Karla Wenner, a PhD student at the Juniorprofessorship for Applied Biodiversity Science, will be sampling urban green spaces and semi-natural grasslands in Würzburg as part of the UrbanPArt project. Our cargo bikes support the research project with the most convenient way to transport a lot of sampling equipment to highly frequented urban green spaces. 

The project focuses on the phenology of urban arthropod communities and the influence of green space management. At the same time, the importance of semi-natural grasslands at the edge of residential areas and the connectivity between green spaces for insects and spiders will be investigated. During the current surveys, ground- and vegetation-dwelling arthropods are collected by suction sampling. Starting in July, the sampling will be supported by an EAGLE Inno Lab candidate. The aim is to compare ecological field methods with automated remote sensing methods.
