In cooperation with the ABU Soest, the Aquatic Ecology group is investigating the macrozoobenthos of streams in the Arnsberg Forest. The biocoenosis of semi-natural and renaturalised sampling sites will be recorded over a period of several years and the effects of renaturation will be analysed.

The ABU Soest leads the LIFE-Project "Brook valleys in the Arnsberg Forest" in the Arnsberg Forest, one of the largest forest areas in North Rhine-Westphalia.
