Zusammenfassung

Die Bedeutung von Ökosystemen wird erläutert, wobei eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit Biodiversität erfolgt. Dabei werden Stoffkreisläufe in Ökosystemen und nachhaltige Nutzung ausführlich diskutiert. Schließlich geht es um den Einfluss des globalen Wandels auf Ökosysteme und Biodiversität.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Aves: VÖgel, Sori: Spitzmäuse, Cara: Laufkäfer, Chil: Hundertfüßer, Aran: Spinnen, Stap: Kurzflügler, Gama: Raubmilben, Nema: Fadenwürmer, Lumb: Regenwürmer, Gast: Schnecken, Dipl: Hundertfüßer, Isop: Asseln, Dipt: Fliegen (Larven), Ench: Enchyträiden, Coll: Springschwänze, Orib: Hornmilben, Prot: Urtiere, Litt: Streu, Fungi: Pilze, Bact: Bakterien, Detr: Detritus

  2. 2.

    Endungen, die fur die Range der Über- und Unterfamilie, Familie und Tribus charakteristisch sind, sind unterstrichen. Bei Art-, Unterart- und Gattungsnamen werden oft auch die Autoren angefuhrt, die erstmals das betreffende Taxon beschrieben haben. Dargestellt ist nur ein Teil der hierarchischen Einordnung, denn die Arthropoden werden zu den Tieren (Animalia) gestellt und diese bilden mit zahlreichen Pflanzen und Pilzen die Vielzeller (Metazoa)

  3. 3.

    Aus manchen Gruppen sind bisher nur relativ wenige Arten beschrieben worden. Die tatsachlichen Artenzahlen liegen fur diese und andere Taxa deutlich hoher (z. B. Bakterien: ca. 5000 Arten, nicht dargestellt)
