Excursion
1 Pond rich agricultural
landscape “Müncheberg” This excursion
deals with investigations of the Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research
(ZALF) Müncheberg on problems of water pollution
and nature conservation in pond rich agricultural landscapes of During the
first stop at a pond rich field site 5 km south of “Müncheberg”
we will present methods and results of investigations on hydroperiod,
land use impacts, habitat function (amphibians, vegetation) as well as
conservation and management measures. But not only ponds are considered.
Based on three years of investigations we will discuss the temporal and
spatial behaviour of amphibians, explain conflicts with agriculture and
introduce solutions which partly impact agriculture. Measures of landscape
structuring (mainly set aside and field edges) and adaptation of agricultural
management will be discussed. After
lunch at Müncheberg we will shortly visit a
retention pond for drainage water and discuss effectiveness for water and
nutrient retention as well as potentials for habitat function. Then our trip
will go around the beautiful landscape between the hilly

Excursion 2 Nature conservation station “Rhinluch” The
excursion deals with aspects of nature conservation at ponds of the fen landscape
“Rhinluch” and of the agricultural landscape with
high percentage of fields. The first stop is at nature conservation station “Rhinluch”, which belongs to the Environment Agency
Brandenburg. The station is situated in the nice village “Linum”,
which is famous for many nesting storks. An overview about different pond
conservation projects will be given with special context on amphibians and
swamp turtles. The next stop in a short distance is the pond landscape “Teichland Linum”. Aspects of
biotope and pond management and habitat value for waterfowl at these former
fish ponds will be discussed. The fish ponds are important resting place for
Cranes. Afterwards the excursion leads to the fen landscape “Rhinluch” (“Rhinbogen”, “Potsdamer Platz”). There you
will get an overview about newly created ponds at fen sites
(EU-LIFE-Project). After a short stop at a historical monument (battle at “Fehrbellin”) there will be time for lunch at “Wustrau/Altfriesack”. After lunch the excursion leads to
some midfield ponds at site “Keglitz”. There some
preliminary results of a conservation project will be presented.
