Abstract: On the basis of different sets of aerial photos the dynamics of the reed bed areas of Lake Constance were investigated in relation to the dynamics of the water levels. The objectives of the study were to quantify the changes of reed areas due to different flood events in the last decades and their recovery in the time periods between these events. The results should given information of the relevance of water level variations on reed bed dynamics and the regeneration times of reed beds after extreme disturbance events. Following the extreme flood at Lake Constance in 1999 the reed belts of Lake Constance lost approximately 30 ha (24%) of the lakeside reed beds. The loss is comparable to the situation in the late 1960s, when approximately 40 ha died back due to the extreme flood in 1965 and the high spring water levels in the subsequent years. In the time period between the extreme floods of 1965 and 1999, the reed areas expanded to nearly 85% of the area before 1965. The expansion rates increased with increasing distance to the flood event of 1965. Especially in periods with series of years of low spring water level the expansion rates were high. The damage degrees of the reed areas in the years 2000 and 2002 showed a clear relation to the elevation (i.e. average water level) of the stands. The damage degree increased with decreasing elevation. Furthermore the regeneration process of severely damaged stands was related to the elevation level of the stands. Whereas stands at high elevation regenerate fast, those at low elevation died off completely in the years after the extreme flood. This supports the hypothesis that the water level flutuations play a major role in the reed dynamics of Lake Constance. As a consequence of the climate change an increase in the frequency of high spring water levels is expected. Thus, it seems unlikely that reed stands will ever expand again to the same area as before 1965. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In consequence of the extreme flood at Lake Constance in 1999 the reed belts showed a severe loss in vitality so that a permanent damage could be expected. The monitoring project presented here focuses the documentation of the damage following the disturbance event, the identification of co-factors, and is designed to find out significant stressors that may impede the recovery of the reeds. The monitoring is based on CIR aerial photo interpretation, quantitative GIS-analyses and field data. The design of the study implies the definition of five degrees of damage using the interpretation of CIR aerial photo series from July 2000. The aquatic reed beds were digitised and areal sums were calculated. These data were compared with the corresponding data from 1999 and 1993. Stand structural and biomass attributes were investigated in 50 randomly distributed permanent plots covering all site types and damage degrees. The results showed a loss of about 24 hectares of aquatic reeds at Lake Constance Untersee alone. The stands which had survived showed a great patchiness in terms of culm density, shoot population composition, culm architecture, and aboveground biomass production. Severely damaged stands were mainly composed of secondary shoots, whereas primary and insect infested shoots dominated in less damaged stands. One co-factor which explained the patchiness was the vertical position of the stand, i.e. the probability of being severely damaged increased with increasing distance below mean water level. The monitoring programme will be continued till 2003. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Praxisorientierte Projekte an einer Kläranlage lieferten umfassende Einblicke in einen mit Phragmites australis, dem Schilfrohr, bepflanzten Bodenfilter und seine jahreszeitlichen Rhythmen. Es wurde festgestellt, dass der Filter eine ausgezeichnete Restreinigung und Pufferwirkung hat und sogar verschiedene endokrin wirksame Substanzen zurückhält. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass Phragmites australis organische Schadstoffe aufnehmen kann und wichtige Entgiftungsenzyme für den Abbau dieser Xenobiotika besitzt, die durch Pharmaka und Safener induzierbar sind. Erstmals wurde eine partielle Sequenz einer Phi-Glutathion S-Transferase bei Phragmites australis identifiziert und eine cDNA-Bank aus behandeltem und induziertem Phragmites australis-Pflanzenmaterial etabliert. Phragmites australis, common reed, showed excellent phytoremediation capacity at a waste water treatment plant in Upper Bavaria. All observed water parameters and endocrine disruptors were reduced through the filter passage. Phragmites australis takes up organic xenobiotics and has detoxification enzymes for their degradation. Sequencing DNA led to the first partial sequence of a phi class glutathione S-transferase. As basis for further investigations a cDNA library of induced Phragmites australis plant material was established.

Uferrenaturierungen werden als Ergänzung zu Seesanierungsvorhaben empfohlen, um die ökologische Gesamtsituation des Gewässers zu verbessern. Die landschaftsökologischen Funktionen und die Grenzen der ökologischen Belastbarkeit der Seeuferröhrichte werden diskutiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird eine Planungskonzeption von Schutz- und Renaturierungsmaßnahmen vorgestellt, die die natürliche Feststoff- und Vegetationsdynamik der Seeufer mit berücksichtigt.

The stratigraphy of littoral sediments in the reedbelt at Lake Constance-Untersee, the contents of nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter, and the rate of litter breakdown were investigated. All parameters were found to be a function of the altitude relative to the lake level, that is they depend on the duration of the yearly submergence. Phragmites australis by far is the most important source of organic matter, whereas the input from the open lake is negligible. The accumulation of organic matter is probably due to nutrient limitation of the microbial breakdown of the litter. It is suggested that the reedbelt act as a sink for suspended and dissolved nutrients coming from the lake. Regarding the eutrophication of Lake Constance-Untersee and the causes of the 'die-back' of reeds, no surplus accumulation of nutrients in the upper sediment layers could be demonstrated. A model of littoral sedimentation and the impact of the covering by reed vegetation is developed.
