LIFE FLOODPLAIN AMPHIBIANS (LIFE Auenamphibien)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2023,

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,

Background Road traffic, industry, energy production and households are all sources of air pollution and pose a threat to human health. 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 ...

European Lakes Under Environmental Stressors (Supporting lake governance to mitigate the impact of climate change) (EULAKES)

Start date: Mar 31, 2010, End date: Mar 30, 2013,

Most of the Central European Lakes have become more and more valuable natural resources deeply linked with the regional scale sustainable development. Change in water temperature, region water shortage, or the uneven temporal distribution of freshwater sources caused by climate change, are giving some initial future warning signs. The project EULAKES aims to promote a new integrated approach in or ...
