Cross-sector project 'AgroScapeLabs – Biodiversity Exploratories for agricultural landscapes
Project
Project code: ZALF-723
Contract period: 01.11.2010
- 31.10.2014
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
ScapeLabs starts in 2011/12 with a pilot study, dealing with population dynamics and movement patterns in relation to landscape structure and resource dynamics. We will examine movement patterns of various mammal species (wild boars, red foxes, raccoons and hares) in intensively used agricultural areas.
In the medium term different organism groups with different ecosystem functions (e.g. mammals, birds, insects, vascular plants, microorganisms, fungi) will be investigated to find patterns between landscape structure and biodiversity at different spatial scales.
Large-scale observatories will be established to perform specific manipulations and experiments in a multi-functional agricultural landscape. Furthermore, research in other landscapes (such as forests, urban areas, aquatic systems, etc.) will be considered.

A collaborative project describes a research plan of a researcher network. It includes several projects, work packages or subprojects. Coordination of the research areas and sub-projects is carried out by a research institution or a work package leader.
The subjects of agriculture and nutritional sciences in FISA are structured as follows:
Plant production
Crop Production, Plant Breeding, Plant Nutrition, Crop Protection, Agricultural Engineering in Plant Production, Grassland, Arboriculture, Horticulture, Vegetable Gardening, Viticulture, and Specialised crops.
Animal production
Animal breeding, Animal Husbandry, Agricultural Technology Animal Production, Animal health, Animal nutrition, Special animal species, Beekeeping and health, and Farm animal behaviour.
Fisheries and Aquaculture
Freshwater fisheries, Pond fisheries, Marine fisheries, Raceways systems, Recirculation systems, and Mariculture.
Forestry
