SASCHA: Sustainable land management and adaptation strategies to climate change for the Western Siberian corn-belt - SP 600: Assessment of carbon stocks and biodiversity values in non-arable ecosystems
Basic data for this project
Description
The interdisciplinary joint project SASCHA investigates interactional effects of climate and land-use change on natural resources and ecosystem functions in the Pre-Taiga and Forest-Steppe ecotone of Western Siberia. Subsequently, sustainable land-use practices and adaption strategies to climate change will be developed. The second project phase is dedicated to the introduction of implementation and monitoring tools for a wise future land use in the region. All research, development and implementation activities will be carried out in close cooperation with regional and local stakeholders from science, administration, and practice. The project results are transferable to neighboring regions facing similar land-use problems. The subproject SP 600 will assess carbon stocks and abiotic site conditions, vegetation and plant diversity, and the faunal diversity in grassland, mire and forest ecosystems. These data will be related to ecological marginal conditions and intensities in land use allowing projections of the future development of ecosystem services and values under different scenarios of climate and land-use change. As a final result, a weighted list of the functional value of non-arable ecosystems will be related to societal needs and constraints. This contributes to a decision maker guidance in sustainable land management, which can be used by local and regional stakeholders. SASCHA is part of the BMBF-Research Programme "Sustainable Land Management" Module A "Interaction between Land Management, Climate Change and Ecosystem Services".
