Biodiversity in Berlin and its potential for nature conservation

摘要: Selected habitats in Berlin (Germany) were investigated with a focus on the diversity of flora and land use patterns. On one hand, correlation between number plant species patterns is shown for transection running from center to outskirts Berlin. The greatest variety highest per square kilometer can be found transition zone city where urban structures are closely associated open spaces like large parks, forests, larger wastelands. In accordance intermediate disturbance hypothesis, mosaic moderate frequencies or intensities positively affects habitat diversity, as well overall landscape level. Furthermore, residential areas built 1920s 1930s, was studied both historical present-day perspective order assess wild-growing indigenous non-native species, ornamental planted trees. numbers recorded less intensively managed habitats. addition structural factors (e.g. patterns) determining vegetation cities, this study also demonstrates importance factor biodiversity. differences throughout last 70 years (pre- post-World War II era) seen an explanation relatively high areas. Cities have regarded new type environment compositions peculiar urban-industrial areas. Future research planning nature conservation sustainable development should take biological cities fully into account. Recommendations given maintenance focussing diversity.
