Reviving the degraded: Planning the unplanned spaces in unproductive landscape
No full textParkstad is a shrinking region especially after the closing of the mines, the social and economic impact was huge. Another major problem which still can be experienced today is the degraded landscape which was left behind. By seeing the operational landscape as inseparable from the urban fabric, and linking them again in a functional as well as aesthetic way a new metabolic system could emerge improving the quality of life and making the region adaptive and resilient. Within the new urban metabolism, the themes of water, agriculture, energy, waste and material flows can be treated decentrally. It is applicable in the current situation as they offer a lot of options for reusing waste nutrients, extracting raw materials from waste and improving environmental performance. Interconnecting these flows can result in adaptive and resilient strategies. These can also be adapted to the changing needs of the population and functions of Parkstad. The focus is on three water strategies in three different locations which are the core of a new green connection adding quality and new perspectives for the people and future developments in Parkstad.Harvest LabArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Landscape Architectur

The status of Eurostus dussumierii and Hypsirhina chinensis (Reptilia, Squamata, Serpentes): With comments on the origin of salt tolerance in homalopsid snakes
No full textThe Kerala mud snake, Enhydris dussumierii Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, has long been known only from syntypes collected in the nineteenth century, but more recent specimens have provided the opportunity for molecular work. Using Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of 2200 base pairs of cytb, 16S, and c-mos, we recovered the Kerala mud snake as the sister species to the Chinese mud snake, Enhydris chinensis (Chinese–Vietnamese endemic). The DNA results establish the position of dussumierii and chinensis as separate from the Enhydris clade, and together they form the sister group to most of the other fanged homalopsids ((Bitia+Cantoria) + (Erpeton+Gerarda+Fordonia) + (Myron+Pseudoferania) + (Enhydris punctata) + (Homalopsis+Enhydris bocourti) + (Cerberus)). Here we resurrect Ferania Gray for Enhydris sieboldii Gray, establish a new genus for the E. chinensis clade (bennettii+chinensis), and apply the generic replacement name Dieurostus Berg to E. dussumierii Duméril, Bibron & Duméril. A biogeographic scenario is proposed based on the ecology, distribution and salt tolerance of the species composing a hypothesized (not supported with molecular evidence) Asian coastal lineage that is distributed from Pakistan's Indus River delta to temperate coastal China.A.
