Fens are groundwater-fed wetlands that once covered substantial surfaces in Central Europe. They deliver important services to society including carbon fixation, water buffering, biodiversity and nutrient retention. Nowadays most of these wetlands have been lost or highly decreased in size or quality. This has led to enormous losses in water buffering capacity and biodiversity and huge releases of carbon and nutrients. Despite all this negative effects of drainage even today freshwater wetlands still face the highest loss rate of all European habitat types. On the other hand, many countries have started restoration programs to get at least some of the functions of the lost wetlands back.
The present contribution will address factors that affect the sustainability of wetland restoration in relation to spatial scale and landscape connectivity. We will translate these findings into practical knowledge, aimed at evaluating restoration scenarios focusing on the optimisation of different services in restored fen systems. We will evaluate to what degree there are synergies possible between restoration activities aimed at increasing ecosystem resilience and those that seek to enhance other goals.

Bird traits and their responses to forest structure in Central European forests
Leitão, Pedro J.; Dahlkamp, Andreas; Haverkamp, Paul; Griesser, Michael; Toraño Caicoya, Astor; Löbel, Swantje; Snäll, Tord; Schröder, Boris (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Forest structure, as resulting from management practices, have an effect on habitat quality and thus the occurrence of birds using and depending on these landscapes. We hypothesized that the species responses to forest ... -
Tree microhabitat abundance and richness in Central European montane forests as indicators for future old growth elements
Asbeck, Thomas; Pyttel, Patrick; Bauhus, Jürgen (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The continued provision of old-growth elements in forest landscapes has been identified as a critical factor for biodiversity conservation in Central Europe. A well-established method of estimating the potential of forests ... -
Pre-study regarding potential SOC stocks in central European old-growth beech forests: a comparative analysis
Welle, Torsten; Buness, Vincent; Sturm, Knut; Bohr, Yvonne (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Soils have long been identified as the most important terrestrial carbon sinks – and thus, as one of the preliminary sources of atmospheric CO2. About 80% of the terrestrial carbon actively involved in the global carbon ... -
