CDL-MERI: Christian Doppler Laboratory for Meta Ecosystem Dynamics in Riverine Landscapes
Description
To better understand the dynamic processes in the Danube, the meta-ecosystem approach combines biological processes, human activities, and ecosystem services across different spatial and temporal scales. For instance, the migratory behavior and habitat selection of fish are being studied to identify habitat preferences and deficiencies. Food web relationships in various sections of the river are being analyzed, as well as the ecosystem services of the river landscape and the impacts of fishing activities. The insights gained aim to develop strategies for even more effective ecological measures in the future and facilitate targeted management decisions.
