3. Termin der “ZIN-Brown Bag Lectures”: „Biodiversity and Bio-Cultural Diversity”
Am Donnerstag, den 16.05. ab 12:15 Uhr halten Landschaftsökologe Prof. Tillmann Buttschardt und Mikrobiologe Prof. Bodo Philipp im Rahmen der „ZIN-Brown Bag Lectures“ Kurzvorträge zum Oberthema „Biodiversity and Bio-Cultural Diversity“.
Worum geht es in den einzelnen Vorträgen? Das können Sie diesen Abstracts entnehmen:
- Diversity und Resilience in landscape scale (Prof. Tillmann Buttschardt): What makes landscapes less vulnerable to external change? What role do diversity and synergies play in this? Predictably, the changes that have already occurred in the climate system will bring about many challenges as well as extreme events. Our living environment must therefore be resilient or - where this is not the case - regenerated. The talk section sheds light on the background and emphasises the value of diversity. What does it mean to consider diversity not only at the organism or habitat level but also at the landscape scale?
- Invisible and countless: the diversity of microorganisms and their function for ecosystems (Prof. Bodo Philipp): When talking about biodiversity we usually think of animals and plants. However, the diversity of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi is even greater, and for most of the species we do not exactly know what they are doing in the environment. Microorganisms are everywhere and their fascinating metabolic capabilities keep our ecosystems in equilibrium. This seminar aims at illustrating this enormous diversity of microorganisms and their importance for our past, present and future lives.
