In the context of the BETA-FOR project, a field trip was conducted in the University Forest of JMU (close to Hassfurt), Saarland and Nationalpark Hunsrück-Hochwald in order to conduct measurements of the extent of the patches under study and support other PhD students of BETA-FOR setting up insect traps, sound recorder or camera traps. Therefore, observations from airborne and spaceborne remote sensing sensors can be linked to in-situ measurements of biodiversity. This interdisciplinary and multi-scale approach of BETA-FOR allows to bridge the analysis of alpha- and beta-diversity to gamma-scale for larger-scale understanding to enhance the structural complexity of forests by improving multidiversity and multifunctionality.![]()
Exploring New Research Horizons: Dr. Sarah Schönbrodt-Stitt and JMU Colleagues Visit UFS
Research thrives on collaboration, and that spirit was in full force when Dr. Sarah Schönbrodt-Stitt, along with other researchers from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU), visited the Umweltforschungsstation Schneefernerhaus (UFS). Lidar Technology Meets...
