| Zusammenfassung |
| The Bode river catchment in the TERENO Harz/Central German Lowland Observatory is the
central study site for water-related research at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental
Research - UFZ. As integral part of the TERENO observation network of the Helmholtz
Association, an integrated monitoring and research concept joining hydrological,
atmospheric, biodiversity related, and soil physical research is currently being implemented.
This will lead to interdisciplinary research activities at different spatial scales ranging from
point sampling up to remote sensing, following a nested approach.
We present an overview of the smallest units contributing to the nested approach: three
highly instrumented sub-catchments, which are laid out for detailed process-based studies.
Research in the intensively agriculturally used Sauerbach catchment focuses on
the quantification of water and solute fluxes at the small catchment scale. In the
forest stand Hohes Holz, detailed investigations of water and trace gas fluxes will
be conducted including Eddy flux measurements and a wide range of auxiliary
measurements. Within the Schäfertal catchment, several technologies for soil hydrological
monitoring are combined in order to observe meso-scale vadose zone hydrological
processes. |
