Ecosystem Organization of a Complex Landscape Long-Term Research in the Bornhöved Lake District, Germany /

This book presents the major findings of a 12-year ecological study of the Bornhöved Lake District, situated some 30 km south of Kiel. Historically speaking, the present research scheme, like comparable long-term ecosystem studies at Göttingen, Bayreuth, München, and Berchtesgaden, has been conceive...
