Definition of areas with high conservation priority in Southern Ecuador – An approach combining spatial and temporal patterns of deforestation and human impact with endemic plant diversity
(2016-10-28)The forests of South Ecuador have high conservation value because they are highly threatened, but also possess high diversity and endemism levels. However, as the process of conservation is inherently spatial, the little ... -
Determinants of population structure in the world's smallest primate, <i>Microcebus berthae</i>, across its global range in Menabe Central, Western Madagascar
(2012-01-11)This study investigated the population ecology of the world s smallest primate, Microcebus berthae, which is locally endemic to Menabe Central, the largest remaining tract of dry deciduous ... -
Development and dynamics of the Atlantic rainforest during the Late Quaternary and its connections with the climate system
(2016-06-29)The Atlantic rainforest harbour an outstandingly high biodiversirty. Many different environmental factors (climate, soil, geomorphology, ocean and etc) interact in a very large space creating complex ecosystems with high ... -
Diverse forests for climate change: Drought stress tolerance of secondary timber species
(2021-08-17)Accelerated climate warming in the past decades and a recent increase in the frequency and severity of summer heat-waves in combination with more irregular summer precipitation challenge silvicultural concepts in Europe’s ... -
Diversity and leaf functional traits of vascular epiphytes along gradients of elevation and forest-use intensity.
(2021-03-11)Tropical mountains are hotspots of biodiversity and refugia for plants and animals, especially in a world of accelerating climatic change (Steinbauer et al., 2018). Biological diversity on tropical mountains is shaped by ... -
Effects of different energy cropping systems on plant diversity in Central German agricultural landscapes
(2015-08-17)The rich biodiversity of the Central European farmland is to a large extent directly dependent on human management decisions. Diverse and dynamic biocoenoses have developed in mutual interactions with farming practices, ... -
Effects of earthworms and tree species (Fagus sylvatica L., Fraxinus excelsior L.) on greenhouse trace gas fluxes in mixed deciduous broad-leaved forests
(2015-02-25)Despite the large number of studies and the associated knowledge gain uncertainties on the determinants of greenhouse gas fluxes from terrestrial ecosystems still exist. It is important to bridge these gaps as land use and ... -
Effects of forest structure and dynamics on vascular epiphyte assemblages - Functional trait analyses and modelling studies
(2017-04-26)Vascular epiphytes are non-parasitic plants that germinate and grow on trees without contact to the soil. Their arboreal life style implies a strong dependence on forest structure and dynamics. Tree architectures change ... -
Effects of Land Use, Habitat Fragmentation and Climate Warming on Stem Increment, Regeneration, and Hydraulic Architecture of Larix sibirica in the Mongolian Forest-Steppe
(2018-05-16)Effects of land use intensity, forest fragmentation and climate warming on stem increment and hydraulic architecture of Larix sibirica growing at the southern fringe of the Eurosiberian boreal forest in the Mongolian ... -
Effects of land-use intensity in grasslands on diversity, life-history traits and multitrophic interactions
(2012-04-25)Land-use intensification is identified as one of the major threats for biodiversity worldwide. The number of endangered species is increasing and only few species mostly generalists seem to benefit from land-use intensification. ... -
Effects of nutrient cycling through litter of different broadleaved deciduous tree species on soil biochemical properties and the dynamics of carbon and nitrogen in soil
(2013-01-30)Tree species influence soil chemical properties via the input of nutrients and protons through throughfall, stemflow, litterfall, and root respiration and/ or exudation. The effect of conifers versus hardwood trees on soil ... -
Effects of temperature and body mass on soil communities
(2013-01-11)The Earth is undergoing a climate change with predicted increases in temperature by up to 6° C until 2100. How this warming affects soil food webs is of fundamental interest for mankind as it may influence global food ... -
Environmental heterogeneity–species richness relationships from a global perspective
(2014-12-11)Spatial environmental heterogeneity (EH) is regarded as one of the most important drivers of species richness gradients worldwide. Its association with increased available niche space, provision of refuges, and opportunities ... -
Evolutionary History of Snub-nosed Monkeys (Rhinopithecus spp.) and Population Genetic Structure of the Guizhou Snub-nosed Monkey (R. brelichi)
(2012-01-06)The colobines (leaf monkeys) represent a diverse group of Old World primates. They comprise ten genera with major radiations in Africa and Asia. As in most other primate radiations, recent ... -
Experimental biodiversity enrichment in an oil-palm plantation
(2016-12-21)Large-scale conversion of tropical forests has led to dramatic losses of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services and functions. One particularly severe example of forest and biodiversity loss is Indonesia. The ... -
Exploring patterns of phytodiversity, ethnobotany, plant geography and vegetation in the mountains of Miandam, Swat, Northern Pakistan
(2015-07-08)The study area of Miandam (35° 1′- 5′ N, 72°30′-37′ E) is located in the District of Swat in the Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly North West Frontier Province) in the North of Pakistan. The present project is a ... -
Fine root traits of tropical montane trees in Ecuador - Effects of elevation, variation between tree functional types, and above-belowground linkage
(2023-06-21)Tropical montane forests in the Andes are one of the most species-rich ecosystems of the world, and are therefore both valuable from a conservation perspective and interesting for testing ecological hypotheses. Particularly ... -
Fine root traits, belowground interactions and competition effects on the rhizosphere of <i>Fagus sylvatica</i> and <i>Fraxinus excelsior</i> saplings
(2013-03-22)European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and European ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) are common tree species in Central European forests and of high ecological as well as economic value. However, knowledge about the ... -
