Vegetation History of the German Landscapes

1949年至1952年，弗朗茨·菲尔巴斯出版了两卷本的经典著作《阿尔卑斯山脉的中部》。与此同时，65年多过去了。该项目的目的是让广大的专家同事和感兴趣的人了解植被和定居历史的现状。随着测年方法的进步，过去15，000年的景观和植被历史可以沿着绝对时间尺度显示，这是对Firbas未来的展望。这样就可以计算和比较不同景观之间植被和文化景观发展的时间差异。典型地理区域的章节将以景观图像开始，包括地理特征（地质，地形，土壤，气候，盆栽）的介绍。自然植被，定居历史）。植被的历史取决于自然演替，气候和人类的影响将是重点。空间结构是基于Firbas（1952）的自然分类，但仅限于德国目前边界内的景观。根据Meynen u. Schmitthüsen（1953-1962）.共38个区域，每个区域5至20页。在介绍各个景观的章节之前，先简要介绍了德国的地理和地质结构，晚冰期和全新世的气候变化历史，以及考古学。可以从所有地区招募具有必要专业知识的同事。

In 1949/52 Franz Firbas published the two-volume classic "Spät- und nacheiszeitliche Waldgeschichte Mitteleuropas nördlich der Alpen". Meanwhile, more than 65 years have passed. The aim of the project is to make the current state of knowledge on the vegetation and the settlement history accessible to a broad circle of specialist colleagues and interested people. With advances in dating methods, the landscape- and vegetation history of the last 15,000 years can be displayed along an absolute time scale, which was a vision of the future for Firbas. This makes it possible to work out and compare temporal differences in the development of vegetation and cultural landscape between the different landscapes.The chapters on typical geographical areas will be opened with a landscape image and include a presentation of the geographical features (geology, relief, soils, climate, pot. Nat. Vegetation, settlement history). The vegetation history depending on natural succession, climate and human influence will be in the focus . The spatial structure is based on the natural classification of Firbas (1952), but limited to the landscapes within the present borders of Germany. It is regarding to the natural spatial main units according to Meynen u. Schmitthüsen (1953-1962). A total of 38 regions with 5 to 20 pages each will be presented. The chapters on individual landscapes are preceded by a brief overview of the geographic and geological structure of Germany, the history of climate change in the Late Glacial and Holocene, as well as the archeology.It was possible to recruit colleagues from all regions who have the necessary expertise.
