Veränderung der Laufkäfergemeinschaften (Carabidae) in 15 Jahren Sukzession nach der Umstellung vom konventionellen auf ökologischen Landbau auf Hof Ritzerau

Abstract

The book summarises the results of 15 years of studies on ground beetles after the conversion from conventional to organic farming on the Ritzerau farm (south-eastern Schleswig-Holstein, Germany) for the recorded ground beetle species in detail as well as the development of species diversity in general. In his study, Ulrich Irmler shows that organic farming not only has a positive effect on the farmland itself from a nature conservation point of view, but also has an impact on the neighbouring ecosystems.
