Field sites
Fieldwork is central to both our research and teaching. Below, we highlight our main field sites, where we study agrobiodiversity and ecological processes in real-world settings, in close collaboration with practitioners and local partners. These sites also serve as outdoor classrooms, with students actively involved in research design, data collection, and analysis.
Campus Wiesengut
At Wiesengut, we use various automated sensors -- such as camera traps and autonomous audio recorders – to collect continuous data on wildlife and ecological dynamics. Students also take part in hands-on biodiversity observations, and several of our master’s students conduct their thesis research on-site. Examples of the data we collect can be explored in the Wiesengut virtual tour.
Island of Ven
The island of Ven lies in the Öresund Strait, between Scania (Sweden) and Zealand (Denmark). Since 2024, we have been collaborating with the Holtabacken Nature & Culture Association, which promotes arts, research, and community building on the island. In particular, we are studying the ecological conditions of the grasslands within Ven’s Natura 2000 protected area.
