Short description
The research group SALAS (Simulation and Analysis of LAnd Systems) focuses on the analysis of land use and land-use change and its impacts on different environmental factors. The analyses are mostly conducted at regional scale and have varying thematic and spatial foci (e.g. land use change in Central Germany; green infrastructure in European cities). The scientific approach is mostly based on models and methods to investigate land-use change as well as its environmental impacts. Therefore, different empirical or process-based models are used (e.g DINAMICA, ESTIMAP, INVEST…), which we adapt to match case study requirements.
As a second focus, we develop scenarios, mostly related to land-use simulations, to quantify scenario assumptions and assess potential impacts of future land-use change trajectories.
The third focus is on mapping and assessment of ecosystem services, either in the context of the modelling and scenario approaches mentioned above, or as an independent research approach. For the latter we are developing the smartphone-based application MapNat (MapNat) to map ecosystem services.
