ERDEI Károly, Linz:

A unique habitat – the gravel pit

A short summary of my talk, which
appeared in the TIT Talks 2016 publication 


			Gravel pits provide a diverse habitat for birds, reptiles, 
			amphibians, and invertebrates. Species diversity is particularly 
			high in the first few years following renaturation.
			The presentation provides an overview of the development of this 
			secondary habitat, with many beautiful photographs demonstrating 
			what an excellent observation area gravel pits are for nature lovers. 

			However, the threats to gravel pits are manifold, including filling 
			and rapid reconstruction. However, it is possible to give nature back 
			its territory and allow natural succession to take place.
	 		Without subsequent management, however, the colorful habitat
            		and species richness will disappear.
