The project "KartAL III - Mapping of the Anthropogenic Stock III", commissioned by the Federal Environment Agency, focuses on the recovery options and expected material flows of seven metals and its alloys. In order to significantly improve the circular economy through urban mining in Germany, the potentials, approaches and success factors of relevant stakeholders identified in the project were compiled in a guide.

Das im Auftrag des Umweltbundesamtes durchgeführte Vorhaben "KartAL III - Kartierung des Anthropogenen Lagers III" fokussiert die Verwertungswege und erwarteten Stoffströme von sieben Metallen und ihren Legierungen. Um die Kreislaufwirtschaft durch Urban Mining in Deutschland nennenswert zu verbessern, werden die im Projekt identifizierten Potenziale, Stellgrößen und Handlungsansätze in einem Leitfaden überblicksartig zusammengestellt.

Welches sind die produktiven Unterschiede, aus denen kreative Wendungen in Innovationsprozessen hervorgehen? Welche Menschen und Orte treten dabei miteinander in Kontakt? Welchen Einfluss haben die verschiedenen Formen von Nähe und Distanz auf die Ergebnisse gemeinsamen Lernens? Anhand eines Vergleichs von Innovationsbiographien aus der Rechtsberatung und der Biotechnologie werden in diesem Band typische Beziehungskonstellationen herausgearbeitet, in denen neuartige Ideen entstehen und sich durchsetzen. Die dabei eingenommene Forschungsperspektive eröffnet eine neue, dynamische Sichtweise auf

This book focuses on the investigation of complex, long-term ecological processes and global change, the development of early warning systems, the acquisition of a scientific basis for strategic conservation management and the sustainable use of ecosystems.

Spatial assessments of ecosystem services (ES) are needed to fulfil EU policy requirements and to support practical applications of the ES concept in policy implementation. So far, ES assessments have largely focused on terrestrial systems. A joint approach for land and sea is especially lacking. To overcome this gap, we present a novel spatial habitat typology and ES classification for an assessment across the land–sea interface. We build upon existing approaches and common spatial definitions, like CORINE land cover (CLC) types, water bodies of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), and habitat types according to the Habitats Directive (HD). We show applications of the resulting ES matrix for an expert-based assessment of ES potentials in three Baltic study sites (Schlei, Greifswald Bay and Curonian Lagoon). A complementary indicator-based approach to assess ES flows is introduced and applied. It enables a quantification of ES potentials and flows and ensures comparability among case study sites. Comparisons between the results for ES potentials and flows show that development capacities exist in particular for provisioning ES for marine habitats. Our approaches are spatially expandable and transferrable and could be applied to support environmental policy implementation. Further, we discuss their practical relevance, current limitations, and future research perspectives

Multiple challenges plague actors that commodify nature and create markets around products made from natural organisms. Primary among these is the reputational risk that results from negative impressions and moral contestations such as animal abuse, bad labor conditions, or pollution. In this contribution, we draw on cultural economic geography, and in particular the concept of dissociation, to demonstrate how supply side actors deal with such threats to their reputation. Geographies of dissociation provide a spatial perspective on the social construction of economic value, with a particular focus on the purposeful obfuscation of practices and the disconnection of discourses. We use the fur-fashion complex as a single case study, representing an extreme but instructive example, to study the agencies and effects of dissociative practices empirically. During our in-depth qualitative research on both the production and consumption of fur fashion, we focus on proactive and reactive dissociative strategies of the most powerful commercial actors in the field: fur-breeder associations and retail brands/brand owners.
