Background The ongoing decline of amphibian species is especially severe in Central and Northern Europe, particularly those species listed in Annex II and IV of the Habitats Directive. This is due to habitat destruction and degradation, mainly driven by the intensification of land use over recent decades. In some regions, more than 90% of reproduction po ...

Reduction of CO2 emissions by restoring degraded peatlands in Northern European Lowland (LIFE Peat Restore)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

Background Some 25-30% of carbon stored in ecosystems is found in peatlands, twice as much carbon as is stored in forests. Peatland degradation, however, leads to the decomposition and mineralisation of peat and consequently to the release of the stored carbon in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). According to Wetlands International, there are at least 500 ...

Management and Connectivity of Amphibians in the Cultural Landscape of Lower Saxony (LIFE-AMPHIKULT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Background Amphibians are recognised as some of Europe’s most endangered species. Loss of key habitat features has contributed to species decline, as intensive land use systems remove ponds, close migration corridors, and limit the availability of foraging, hibernation and overwintering areas. Such factors have particularly affected amphibian species li ...

CLEAN AIR (CA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Moreover, individual pollutants, such as diesel soot as a component of PM10, also contribute significantly to climate change. The Europan Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC) has summarised five previous acts on ambient ai ...

Living Rhine floodplain near Karlsruhe (Rheinauen Karlsruhe)

Start date: Dec 1, 2004, End date: May 31, 2010,

Background The river Rhine is a very busy shipping route in Europe and flows through densely settled terrain, so regulation of its hydrology began long ago and has continued until today. Some impacts of these interventions on the natural river and floodplain ecosystems are immediate and obvious; others such as desiccation and stagnation are long-term and ...
