About this book

Language: Bilingual in German and Italian

Land snails play an important role in the nutrient cycle of nature as decomposers of dead plant material. They are hardly noticed however, because many of them have a shell of only a few millimeters in size. On the basis of extensive field surveys the authors of Die Vielfalt der Landschnecken in der Val Müstair have studied the diversity of land snails in the most diverse habitats in the Biosphere Val Müstair, a mountain valley in the Swiss Alps. Snails are considered excellent indicator organisms and allow conclusions on the status of the habitats in the Biosphere Val Müstair.

Summary in German:
Landschnecken spielen als Zersetzer von totem Pflanzenmaterial eine wichtige Rolle im Stoffkreislauf der Natur. Sie werden aber kaum wahrgenommen, weil viele von ihnen ein Gehäuse von nur wenigen Millimetern Größe haben. Die Autorinnen und Autoren untersuchten anhand umfangreicher Feldaufnahmen die Vielfalt der Landschnecken in den unterschiedlichsten Lebensräumen der Biosfera Val Müstair. Als Ergebnis wird nicht nur eine Zustandsbeschreibung präsentiert, sondern es werden auch natürliche Faktoren und menschliche Einflüsse vorgestellt, welche die Vielfalt und Artzusammensetzung dieser Tiergruppe beeinflussen. Schnecken gelten als ausgezeichnete Zeigerorganismen und erlauben Rückschlüsse auf den Zustand der Lebensräume in der Biosfera Val Müstair.
