Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.
Locations of the observation places of the Biodiversity monitoring programme of the lakes of Macun
28 ponds have been sampled between by the Geneva University and the EIL. These ponds' biodiversity can be higher than 50 different species of aquatic macroinvertebrates, between them a species of caddisfly (Trichoptère Acrophylax zerberus) only linving in these extreme climatic habitats, and a beetle standig on the Swiss red list (Hydroporus nivalis). On a longterme perspecitve, as a consequence of climate change, an increasing of biodiversity caused by the colonialisation of subalpine species will result. We will also observe a extinction of several highly specialised species typically alpine. In order to properly document these changes, the monitoring will be carried out each two years and first results will be visible after some decades.
Status Geometry: surveyed in 2007 Status Data: waiting A biological monitoring is underway on the site of Macun since 2005, set up, among others, by the Swiss National Park, the EAWAG and the consulting office Hydra. It includes in particular the followup of the biodiversity of the standing waterbodies and streams. Two diploma theses (Hinden 2004, University of Geneva; Stoll 2005, University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland EIL) explored the biodiversity of 25 ponds, which constituted the baseline study for the setting up of the long term pond monitoring
