About this book

Language: German

The tidal flats in the Wadden Sea, the intertidal zone in the southeastern part of the North Sea, are not just a recreational area with increasing visitor numbers, but is also an ecologically very sensitive and exciting habitat, which is characterized by its dynamic tides. There are extreme conditions such as temperature and salinity fluctuations, drying and flooding. All creatures in the area that are ​​influenced by the tides are especially adapted to the circumstances.

This didactically aligned textbook fills a gap by explaining biological systems in a clear way and is therefore aimed at the target group of interested visitors. Starting with an introduction to the geographical area with its history, the most important animal and plant species are systematically explained. Simple experiments with often astonishing results help to better understand their uniqueness. The authors represent the food webs and ecological networks and give suggestions for the implementation of excursions and activities in non-school establishments.

Summary in German:
Das Nordseewatt ist nicht nur ein Erholungsgebiet mit steigenden Besucherzahlen, sondern auch ein ökologisch ausgesprochen sensibler und spannender Lebensraum, der in seiner Dynamik von Ebbe und Flut gekennzeichnet ist. Dort herrschen extreme Bedingungen wie Temperatur- und Salzgehaltsschwankungen, Trockenfall und Überflutung. Alle Arten von Lebewesen im Einflussbereich der Gezeiten sind hieran in besonderer Weise angepasst.

Dieses didaktisch ausgerichtete Lehrbuch schließt eine Lücke, indem es biologische Systeme auf anschauliche Weise erklärt und daher auch die Zielgruppe der interessierten Besucher anspricht. Ausgehend von einer Einführung in den geografischen Raum mit seiner Entstehungsgeschichte werden die wichtigsten Tier- und Pflanzenarten systematisch erläutert. Einfache Versuche mit oft verblüffenden Ergebnissen helfen, ihre Einzigartigkeit besser zu verstehen. Die Autoren stellen die Nahrungsketten und ökologischen Vernetzungen dar und geben Anregungen zur Durchführung von Exkursionen und für Aktivitäten in außerschulischen Lernorten.
