Zusammenfassung

Die EU-Wasserrahmenrichtlinie (EU-WRRL) fordert eine holistische Herangehensweise in Maßnahmen zur Gewässergüteverbesserung Mit der Forderung nach ’mehr Ökologie’ ist die Anwendung von Biodiversitätsindices naheliegend. Will man Biodiversitätsindices verwenden, um Vergleiche durchzuführen, so stellt sich die Frage, ob ein Ranking anhand eines ’Biodiversitätindex unabhängig von der speziellen Wahl des Index ist. Leider ist dies nicht der Fall. Konzepte zur Auflösung des Dilemmas werden aufgezeigt und eine graphische Technik eingesetzt, die bisher nur in der Quantenmechanik, statistischen Mechanik und in der Theoretischen Chemie angewender wurde: Die Technik der YOUNG-Diagramme.

Abstract

Within the context of the EU Water Framework Directive (EUWFD), there is a demand for a holistic quality improvement of aquatic systems. Therefore, it is obvious that biodiversity is one of the quality components and hence has to be considered in detail. The ranking of habitats, based on biodiversity indices, depends on the specific measurement selected. It is postulated that a ranking of habitats by means of a biodiversity index may be ambiguous. Concepts to resolve this dilemma are demonstrated, and a graphical formalism is introduced which up to now has only been used in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and theoretical chemistry: The YOUNG-diagram technique.
