DIGSTER - Map and Go (Digital Satellite Based Terrain Model) - User Requirements

The project DIGSTER - Map and Go (Digital Based Terrain Mapping) aims at the technical aspects of digital terrrain mapping. For many questions in administration, planning and expertise terrrain mappings are indispensable. The whole process starting with the data acquisition in the field and ending with map products will be digitally performed by the system. Therefore, a platform appropriate for the use in the field (PDA) is combined with technologies from the disciplines of satellite navigation, remote sensing, communication, and mobile geoinformation systems. For DIGSTER a lot of practical applications already exist in connection with policies and directives on the national and also European level.

(Table 1) Benthic foraminifer stratigraphy of ODP Site 166-1006 sediments

Site 1006 provides a middle to late Miocene record of bathyal benthic foraminiferal abundance changes in the Straits of Florida. Benthic foraminifers indicate that sedimentation was primarily in situ at Site 1006, with periods of increased downslope transport of shallow-water material. Changes in the in situ faunas may have resulted from circulation changes. Dissolution indices identify a dissolution interval in the upper Miocene section at Site 1006 that may correspond to isotope event Mi5. The data presented here are intended to support a subsequent study (M.E. Katz, J.D. Wright, and K.G. Miller, unpubl. data) that integrates the benthic foraminiferal faunal record with the stable isotopic record, all within a sequence stratigraphic framework. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate that the Miocene faunal and isotopic changes at Site 1006 reflect global, regional, and local influences, and provide constraints on paleobathymetry, sediment provenance, and circulation changes that may reflect changing source regions and glacioeustatic changes.

Pliocene benthic foraminiferal abundances of ODP Hole 105-646B from north Atlantic

Our benthic foraminiferal data clearly indicate eight layers of deep-water turbidites during the Messinian (MTL 1-8) and one in the early Pliocene (PTL 1) in Ocean Drilling Program Leg 105, Site 646B. These deep-water tuibidite deposits are characterized by highly concentrated agglutinated marsh benthic foraminifera (e.g., Trochammina cf. squamata, Ammotium sp. A, Miliammina fusca), rounded quartz, polished thick-walled benthic foraminifera, wood fragments, plant seeds, plant fruit, and highly concentrated mica and are interbedded with sediments containing deep-water benthic faunas. We suggest these turbidites deposited during sea-level low stands (approx. 80-100 m below sea level), and their ages are tentatively correlated to 6.59, 6.22, 6.01, 5.89, 5.75, 5.7, 5.65, 5.60, and 5.55 Ma, respectively, based on the Messinian oxygen isotope enrichments at Site 552A of Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 81. The turbidites layers during the late Messinian, coeval with frequent climate changes suggested by six oxygen enrichment excursions of Site 552A, may have been in part linked to the late Messinian evaporite deposits in the Mediterranean Basin. The most profound climate changes at 5.75 and 5.55 Ma may have been related to the Lower and Upper Evaporites in the Mediterranean Basin.

Pliocene-Pleistocene distribution of benthic foraminifers from ODP Hole 110-672A (Table 2)

Site 672 is located on the Atlantic abyssal plain to the east of the Lesser Antilles forearc region. It serves as a stratigraphic reference section for sediments entering the Barbados accretionary prism. A relatively complete Pliocene through lower Pleistocene section was recovered from Site 672 that contains a moderately well-preserved population of benthic foraminifers. Q-mode factor analysis of the benthic population data identified three Pliocene-Pleistocene assemblages that inhabited this site. The Factor 1 fauna, characterized by Nuttallides umboniferus, is commonly associated with the presence of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). The Factor 2 assemblage is characterized by Globocassidulina subglobosa, Epistominella exigua, and a combined category of unilocular species. The Factor 3 assemblage is characterized by Epistominella exigua, and Planulina wuellerstorfi. The Factor 2 and 3 faunas are associated with bottom water significantly warmer than that preferred by the Factor 1 assemblage. The distribution of these assemblages has been used to distinguish three climatic intervals in the abyssal environment during the Pliocene-Pleistocene. An early Pliocene warm interval occurred from the Ceratolithus rugosus Subzone to the middle of the Discoaster tamalis Subzone. The upper Pliocene is characterized by oscillations between the Factor 1 and Factor 2 assemblages, which suggests climatic deterioration and increased pulses of AABW flow. The persistence of an essentially modern (Factor 1) fauna throughout the early Pleistocene suggests full glacial development at both poles and a substantial volume of AABW production.

WF 7200 Naturwald

Naturwälder sind Waldflächen, die nach repräsentativen, standörtlichen und vegetationskundlichen Kriterien ausgewählt werden und ihrer natürlichen Entwicklung überlassen bleiben. Die wissenschaftliche Beobachtung ihrer Entwicklung dient der Erforschung von Waldlebensgemeinschaften, ihrer Böden, ihrer Vegetation, Waldstruktur und Fauna sowie der Ableitung und Veranschaulichung von Erkenntnissen für die Waldbaupraxis.

Landschaftsschutzgebiete im Landkreis Ammerland

Mit Hilfe von Landschaftsschutzgebieten sollen besonders ausgeprägte geomorphologische Besonderheiten in der Landschaft und die Landschaft mit ihrer besonderen Eigenart, Vielfalt und Schönheit für das Landschaftsbild als Lebensräume für Pflanzen- und Tierarten sowie für die Erholung der Menschen gesichert werden. Im Landkreis Ammerland gehören Bäkentäler, der Rasteder Geestrand und Waldgebie-te dazu.

Naturschutzgebiete im Landkreis Ammerland

Die Erhaltung gefährdeter Arten- und Lebensgemeinschaften mit strengen Regelungen steht im Vordergrund. Naturschutzgebiete sind Gebiete, die durch eine Vielzahl an schutzbedürftigen Tier- und Pflanzenarten und speziellen Standortverhältnissen gekennzeichnet sind. Sie haben aufgrund ihrer seltenen Lebensräume für die Wissenschaft, Natur- und Heimatkunde als Reste einer naturnahen Landschaft eine wichtige Bedeutung. Im Landkreis Ammerland gehören die Reste der ehemals großflächigen Hochmoore, Ausdeichungsflächen am Aper Tief, nasse Eichen-Hainbuchenwälder und Erlen-Eschenwälder dazu.
