Figure: The photo shows a meadow with a flock of sheep in front of a climate measuring station. On the right side of the picture there is a shepherd with dogs and another man. In the background there are more meadows and mixed forest on hills.

Picture: The photo shows a slightly hilly landscape in summer under a blue sky. In the front left of the picture there are high bushes, a tree and a field path that turns to the left further back. From the middle to the right to the edge of the picture there is a field with beige-coloured ears of grain. Behind the field there is a mown meadow with short green grass on a slightly rising hill. On the left of the meadow there is a fenced climate measuring station. On the right of the meadow there is an unmown experimental area with tall brown and green grass. Behind the meadow there is a dense row of deciduous trees running through the picture.

Picture: The photo shows, photographed from above, two young female scientists on the right and left of the picture, lying on a sunlit meadow and busy with the determination of seedlings. The female scientist on the right is noting something on paper in a clipboard lying on the ground in front of her. In front of the head of the female scientist on the left, a thin marking stick is stuck in the ground, next to her lies an unfolded folding ruler.
