SFB 552: C7 - Stability of rainforest margins in space and time: Holocene rainforest, climate, fire, human impact and land use dynamics in Sulawesi, Indonesia
Project
Project code: DFG SFB 552
Contract period: 01.01.2003
- 01.01.2009
Purpose of research: Basic research
For understanding the stability of rainforest margins and for future sustainable land use management an integrated study including changes on past vegetation, biodiversity, climate, fire, human impact and land use dynamics is needed. Special attention will be given to Holocene human impacts on vegetation, land use changes, history of rattan use, adaptation to environmental changes, and ENSO droughts frequency that have caused fires with strong effects on nature and society. Results will contribute to predict future changes in rainforest margins and to facilitate conservative action in the perspective of sustainability.
