CACAO AGROFORESTRY UNDER AMBIENT AND REDUCED THROUGHFALL: TREE WATER USE CHARACTERISTICS AND STAND WATER BUDGETING
(2010-07-13)The world s tropical regions have faced dramatic losses in forest cover during recent decades. Although high rates of rainforest conversion continue today, reforestation is becoming more ... -
Canopy soil nutrient cycling and response to elevated nutrient levels along an elevation gradient of tropical montane forests
(2014-04-24)Although canopy soils can contribute significantly to aboveground labile biomass, they are often overlooked in nutrient cycling studies. In forests with large accumulations of canopy soil, such as those found in tropical ... -
Carbon Fluxes and Pools in a Montane Rainforest in Sulawesi, Indonesia
(2021-03-18)Forests play an important part in the global carbon cycle. While carbon balances of many forest types have been studied intensively, such information is very sparse for tropical montane rainforests. This thesis aims to ... -
Changes in eco-hydrological functioning after tropical rainforest transformation to rubber and oil palm plantations
(2015-10-09)This work presents findings from eco-hydrological research carried out in Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia in the framework of the CRC990 (Sub-Project A02). Our results point to substantial changes in central ecosystem water ... -
Characterising the Baobab Industry: Informality and Innovation Capacity
(2024-04-23)Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) processing and marketing is a promising non-timber forest product (NTFP)-based industry with immense socioeconomic value, and a demonstrable circular bioeconomy potential. However, the ... -
Characterization of wood-based panels surfaces by contact and non-contact methods
(2003-07-10)One of the most important surface properties of wood-based panels is their roughness. It can be defined as the measure of the fine irregularities of a surface. In case of painted or overlaid ... -
Combining landscape genetics and movement ecology to assess functional connectivity for red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
(2021-06-15)Human-caused restrictions like the fragmentation of the landscape poses a major challenge to wildlife conservation. Large and mobile species such as red deer (Cervus elaphus) are subject to increasing effects of isolation ... -
Communication between mycorrhizal fungi and poplar
(2015-03-18)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have multiple functions in the atmosphere and biosphere. VOCs are involved in above- and belowground biotic interactions. For example, VOCs released by microbes have the potential to ... -
Community Forestry in Vietnam: Actors and Political Process
(2016-06-07)The research will examine cases of community forestry in Hoa Binh and Son La provinces as compared with the larger community forestry programs of Vietnam. The results have revealed that community forestry programs in the ... -
Community structure of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in temperate grassland and tropical land-use systems
(2015-08-31)Most plants in temperate and tropical regions form symbiotic association with mycorrhizal fungi. Studies on mutualistic association of mycorrhiza focus mainly on temperate regions of the world, whereas little information ... -
Competition mechanisms of native and exotic tree species
(2014-01-09)The amount of exotic plant species introduced to new regions by humans has considerably increased in the last two centuries. Worldwide, the invasion of exotic species represents an important threat to native biodiversity ... -
Composite Estimation of Stand Tables
(2008-09-22)One of the most important parameters for characterizing a forest stand is its stand table. In this thesis, the problem of estimating stand tables in stands with only a few sample plots (i.e. ... -
Composition, degradation and stabilization of soil organic matter along an elevation gradient of Mount Kilimanjaro
(2020-12-21)Understanding the complex biotic and abiotic drivers of carbon (C) and nutrient cycles, especially in the soils of tropical mountainous ecosystems, is essential to the management of ecosystem services provided by them. Mt. ... -
Consequences of enriching European beech forests with non-native Douglas fir for generalist arthropod predator diversity, abundance and pest control
(2022-10-27)As anthropogenic climate induced stress leads to biodiversity loss and an increase in the frequency and severity of pest outbreaks, forest management in Central Europe is looking for ways to balance demands of biodiversity ... -
Consequences of rainforest conversion to smallholder rubber and oil palm plantations on soil trace gas fluxes from highly weathered soils in Sumatra, Indonesia
(2017-01-30)In Sumatra, Indonesia, the establishment of oil palm and rubber plantations is widespread. However, it occurs at the expense of forest area. Since global demand for palm oil and rubber is increasing, forest conversion is ... -
Conversion of lowland forests to rubber and oil palm plantations changes nutrient leaching and nutrient retention efficiency in highly weathered soils of Sumatra, Indonesia
(2016-03-23)Over the last two decades, Sumatra, Indonesia has experienced rapid expansion of rubber and oil palm plantations through conversion of rainforests. This is evident from the 36% decrease in forest area in this region from ... -
Correlation between anatomical/chemical wood properties and genetic markers as a means of wood certification
(2008-06-18)Southeast Asian forests have high species diversity. Of the floral community, Dipterocarpaceae (dipterocarps) are the most well known. This tree family is extremely rich with more than 500 ... -
Dehydration behavior of hydrogels
(2024-01-31)Hydrogels, with their porous structures, steric networks, and high water content, which closely resemble living organisms, are attractive materials for numerous applications, including wound dressing, tissue engineering, ... -
