Invasive Species - Enrichment or Threat to Biodiversity?
At the beginning of the presentation, the various technical terms and definitions will be briefly addressed, as well as the legal framework-particularly in Germany and the EU.
Subsequently, the various reasons for the occurrence of invasive species and their impacts will be discussed. This will include a brief examination of the economic effects, but will focus primarily on the ecological effects and damage of ecosystems.
Here, for example, the impacts of quagga/zebra mussels, bullfrogs, or raccoons are pointed out.
Then mainly the focus will be on the impacts of invasive crayfish on aquatic ecosystems. Finally, some practical management measures and their limitations will be outlined.
