Hidden Habitats
Hidden habitats still harbour numerous unknown species
In all habitats in Germany, whether marine, terrestrial or limnic, there is still much to discover. However, some habitats are considered to be particularly species-rich, insufficiently studied or endangered and therefore need to be specifically investigated. These include coastal marine sediments, the soil habitat, the canopy of forests, the high altitudes of the Alps and low mountain ranges, as well as habitats with highly specialised species such as groundwater, wetlands, bogs, fens or cave systems.
