Research

The project of restoring the upper part of Øle Å is managed by researchers at the University of Copenhagen, and many aspects are monitored intensively. This is due to recognition that only through monitoring we will know the long term development trajectory of the system, and thus be able to assess the success. Further the intensive monitoring set-up is intended to improve future restoration projects.

Due to the land use history at the site and the disturbance’ character the intervention is well defined and limited to biotic components. This will hopefully ensure significant and clear results. The monitoring can be divided within the following four areas:
