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 ... -
Forest Structure and Structural Dynamics of Virgin Beech Forests in Slovakia
(2019-02-14)European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests gain a special interest in Central Europe. The highly competitive species would most likely achieve dominance within a wide range of site conditions. Understanding the natural ... -
Frugivore behavior and plant spatial genetics
(2019-03-13)Spatial genetics aims to understand the influence of environmental features and biological interactions on gene flow and genetic structure. In plants, spatial genetics is determined by the rate, pattern and spatial extent ... -
Functional diversity of mycorrhizal fungi with regard to nutrient transfer
(2013-11-11)Mycorrhizal associations of tree species are important drivers of plant belowground interactions. The main objective of this study was to investigate the contribution of mycorrhizal fungi on plant competition for nutrients. ... -
Fungal diversity in a transgenic poplar plantation and the role of ectomycorrhizal fungi for tree performance under field and controlled drought stress conditions
(2013-06-05)The worldw ide increasing energy demand comes along with diminishing fossil fuel resources. Thus, research on alternative bioenergy sources is urgently needed. Poplars with optimized properties for bioethanol ... -
Gene flow dynamics in Baboons - The influence of social systems
(2015-09-04)The relationship between genes and behaviour has been of longstanding interest to evolutionary biologists. Certain behaviours can shape the genetic structure of natural populations, thereby altering their genetic diversity ... -
Genetic and behavioral correlates of pair living in coppery titi monkeys (Plecturocebus cupreus)
(2021-02-15)The occurrence of monogamy in mammals represents an evolutionary puzzle. Because of reduced parental investment, males are expected to increase their reproductive success by mating with multiple females rather than being ... -
