Herb layer characteristics, fly communities and trophic interactions along a gradient of tree and herb diversity in a temperate deciduous forest
(2011-08-31)The human-induced loss of biodiversity from many ecosystems has led to increased interest in the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Research in this field is mostly ... -
Holocene climate changes, sea-level oscillations and humans impact in northeastern Brazil
(2022-12-05)During the Holocene, the environment in northeastern Brazil has changed mainly due to climate dynamics, human activities, and in the coastal area, sea-level oscillations. However, little is known about the environmental ... -
Indonesian coastal wetlands
(2019-03-13)As an archipelago country, Indonesia harbors vast area of coastal wetlands such as mangrove and peatland that stores around 50 Gt carbon (C). Indonesian coastal wetlands are also rich in biodiversity, providing habitats ... -
Interacting effects of forest edge, tree diversity and forest stratum on the diversity of plants and arthropods in Germany’s largest deciduous forest
(2016-04-25)Major threats to global biodiversity include the continuous increase of forest fragmentation and the associated augmentation of forest edge zones. How much edge effects penetrate into the forest interior can be influenced ... -
Interactive effects of elevation and forest-use intensity on tropical tree diversity in Veracruz, Mexico.
(2020-10-01)Land-use change and intensification have a substantial impact on tropical mountain ecosystems worldwide. However, our understanding of how anthropogenic changes affect different facets of tree diversity and community ... -
Intra- and interspecific variation of functional traits, growth performance and belowground competition in <i>Populus</i> species
(2014-06-06)Short-rotation forestry (SRF) systems provide sustaining resource supply that is needed to meet the rapidly increasing demand in wood products and renewable energy. Poplar species (Populus spp.) are frequently used ... -
Investigating Environmental (Climate and Vegetation) Change of Eastern Amazonia During Pleistocene and Holocene Using Multi-Proxy Analysis
(2018-01-08)This thesis contributes to better understanding of long-term vegetation history in eastern Amazonia and the possible role that climate, fire, soil and human may play to change the landscape. To achieve this aim, three new ... -
Landscape effects on predator activity and nest predation in grey partridges Perdix perdix
(2023-04-14)Europe's agricultural landscapes used to be home to a wide variety of plants and wildlife that have adapted to these open, cultivated landscapes. Following the onset of large-scale agricultural intensification in the ... -
Limitations in Global Information on Species Occurrences
(2016-02-02)Detailed information on species distributions is crucial to answering central questions in ecology, evolutionary biology and biogeography and for effectively allocating conservation resources among regions. Huge numbers ... -
Long-term vegetation dynamics along altitudinal and longitudinal gradients in the Hyrcanian forest region (northern Iran)
(2022-12-14)As an Arcto-Tertiary species refugium, the Hyrcanian forest region of Iran, may play an important role in investigating paleoclimatic and palaeoecological changes. This narrow belt, located between the biggest lake of the ... -
Mating behaviour of a wild olive baboon population (Papio anubis) infected by Treponema pallidum
(2020-10-01)According to the World Health Organization (2019), more than one million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day worldwide in the human population. These infections can have serious reproductive health ... -
Microsatellites and Genetic Variation in Two Members of the African Papionini
(2023-03-31)The importance of genetic variation for the fitness and viability of populations and species has been shown in many studies over the last decades. However, the way to determine such genetic variation has changed and evolved ... -
Molecular Analysis of Centipede Predation
(2013-09-30)Soil food webs are an essential part of terrestrial ecosystem functioning and characterised by a high degree of cross linkage between the members of a highly diverse soil community. Centipedes are abundant predators in the ... -
Mycorrhizal fungi in deciduous forests of differing tree species diversity and their role for nutrient transfer
(2014-07-25)Mycorrhizal fungi are forming EcM on beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and AM on ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) and are an important component of several ecosystem processes in forests. One main functional role is nutrient acquisition, ... -
Nemoral European Beech and Oak Forests under Climate Change
(2023-05-16)Global warming and increasing drought severity are exposing temperate forests to higher stress levels, challenging forest management in the 21st century. With a projected warming by 2–3 K until 2070, silvicultural adaptation ... -
Nitrogen response efficiency, nitrogen retention efficiency, and asymbiotic biological nitrogen fixation of a temperate permanent grassland site under different sward compositions and management practices
(2013-02-15)Human activity had a huge impact on the global nitrogen (N) cycle in the last decades, mainly through an increase in the production of reactive N. In European grasslands, the increased use of N fertilizers was accompanied ... -
Origin and properties of microbial hotspots in top- and subsoil
(2016-07-04)Microbial hotspots, defined by increased abundance and activity of microorganisms make up only a small percentage of the total soil volume but most microbially-mediated biogeochemical processes that are relevant for ... -
