Sabine Tischew (Hochschule Anhalt, Germany), Ivana Jongepierova (ČSOP White Carpathians, Czech Republic)
Theme description:
The successful restoration of ecosystem functions, biotope structures and plant or animal communities depends on a multitude of influencing factors including socioeconomic aspects. Beside our restricted knowledge about complex reactions in ecosystems following restoration measures the framework conditions can change unexpectedly. What strategies and instruments do we have to face uncertainty in restoration? How do we handle a competent and efficient evaluation of restoration processes to correct failures in time or to modify restoration measures or schemes appropriately? What indicators, thresholds and reference states can we use for a target orientated monitoring and how can we guarantee that monitoring programs do not exist sometimes only on paper or don’t effectuate the quality of actual or future projects? In some cases even basic information about restoration measures or the status quo of the restoration site is missing!
The main goal of the session is to support dialog and cooperation between all stakeholders involved to optimize restoration success by evaluating all steps in restoration processes beginning with the planning. Therefore, basic studies concerning the development of monitoring programs as well as practical experiences in implementation of these programs are welcome. Furthermore, evaluations of basic problems in realization of restoration projects along with particularly successful strategies to avoid failures are in focus of the session.
