Data, maps and mapping materials for the "Exploratories for large-scale and long-term functional biodiversity research

数据库数据、地图和制图信息构成景观层面生态研究的支柱。根据我们的大型研究联盟“探索大规模和长期功能生物多样性研究”的审查小组的建议，本提案总结了所有初始和进一步贡献的项目对这些信息的需求。换句话说，该提案总结了评审小组已经确认但未直接授予财团子项目的需求。这使我们能够在目前的建议中确定协同作用，并通过避免冗余来最大限度地减少总成本。我们建议获取1:10000比例尺的数字地形图（DTK 10；更大比例尺可免费获得）、数字正射影照片、高分辨率航空图像和ASTER类型的卫星图像。此外，我们要求学生提供帮助，并支付旅费，以协助获取遥感地面信息，并绘制无法通过遥感获得的探测器研究地块周围的土地利用图。此外，我们要求使用Geomatica V.10软件来处理dtk数据和正射影像数据，并获得ArcGIS和空间分析许可证，用于实际土地利用信息的数字化和所有子项目信息的综合。申请数据、地图和制图材料的信息对于生物多样性探索所有当前子项目的成功至关重要。此外，该材料将可用于2009年初加入该财团的新子项目。

Database data, maps, and mapping information form the backbone of ecological research at the landscape level. As proposed by the review panel of our large research consortium, the “Exploratories for large-scale and long-term functional biodiversity research”, this proposal summarizes the needs for such information of all initial and further contributing projects. In other words, this proposal summarizes needs already acknowledged by the review panel but not granted directly with the subprojects of the consortium. This enabled us in the current proposal to identify synergies and to minimize the overall costs by avoiding redundancies. We propose acquiring digital topographic maps at 1:10000 scale (DTK 10; larger scales are available for free), digital ortho-photographs, high resolution airborne imagery, and satellite images of the ASTER type. Moreover, we ask for student helpers and coverage of travel expenses to assist in ground-truthing remote sensing information and in mapping of land use surrounding the study plots of the exploratories where it is not possible via remote sensing. Furthermore, we ask for the software Geomatica V.10 to process DTK-data and ortho-photograph data, and ArcGIS and spatial analysis licenses for the digitization of the actual land use information and for synthesizing information from all subprojects. The information of the applied for data, maps, and mapping materials is essential for the success of all current subprojects of the biodiversity exploratories. Moreover, the material will be available for the new subprojects to join the consortium in early 2009.
