The aim of this study is to assess the development of plant species diversity and species composition
over a seven-year period in two calcareous grasslands abandoned for nearly 20 years and to find out
which factors influence vegetation dynamics. In the Abava River valley, Latvia, different calcareous
grasslands were studied, one on the south-west facing slope and another on the north-east facing slope.
Vegetation analyses on permanent plots showed that dry calcareous grasslands can be resistant to deterioration for a long period of time – succession was slower than reported in many cases for Central and
Western Europe. None of the studied communities showed a decrease neither in total species number
recorded per community nor in average species richness per plot. Vascular plant species richness even
increased by 3–4 species per 1-m² plot in the grassland on the south-west facing slope. An unexpected
result of the research was that Calamagrostis epigeios did not expand in this grassland. This fact can be
explained by the influence of disturbances (drought, tree cutting) and local differences in soil parameters
and topography. In parts of the north-east exposed grassland, with deeper soils and better water availability, species diversity (Shannon index) decreased significantly in areas overgrown by Aegopodium
podagraria.

Der Reisemarkt ist komplex, diversifiziert und schnelllebig: Viele Deutsche planen ihren Urlaub heutzutage eher kurzfristig, und sie suchen Alternativen zur gewohnten Reise zu Sonne, Strand und Meer. Die Anzahl der Reiseveranstalter und Spezialanbieter ist kaum mehr zu beziffern. Ständig erscheinen neue Trends und innovative Produkte. Das Internet stellt das traditionelle Geschäftsmodell der Reiseveranstalter auf den Kopf. Doch wie können Unternehmen Transparenz in einen komplexen Markt bringen und dessen Potenziale für das Management schlussendlich greifbar machen?
Die Einführung von „diagnosis-related groups“ (DRG) -Fallpauschalen in der stationären Krankenversorgung hat zu strukturellen Veränderungen im Aufbau des Gesundheitssystems geführt. Spezialisierungen und Schwerpunktbildungen haben vor dem Hintergrund ökonomischer Anreize zugenommen. Parallel steigen die Einsatzzahlen im Bereich des Interhospitaltransfers bundesweit bemerkenswert an.
