Faunistic inventory methods for invertebrates

Faunistic valuation of intensively cultivated and natural habitat in the viewpoint of agroecology and nature protection.

Development and evaluation of standardised inventory methods which give comparable criteria for the assessment of diverse landscape elements.

Validation of these methods for simultaneous comparisons (e.g. transects) and successive comparisons (e.g. impact studies).
