Forest biodiversity in times of global environmental change: Effects of tree species identity and admixture on diversity and trophic niches of arthropods, under special consideration of the canopy and its architecture
(2024-04-26)Global climate change poses unprecedented challenges to forest ecosystems, requiring adapted management to halt loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In Central Europe, forest diebacks primarily hit profitable ... -
Effects of managed forest stand composition on small mammal demography and reciprocal effects on seed predation patterns in Northern Germany
(2024-04-08)In an effort to ameliorate the impacts of climate change, forest managers in Central Europe increasingly turn to conifer species that produce higher yields and are better adapted to projected future climatic conditions. ... -
Auswirkung von Bodenbearbeitungen auf den Nährstoffhaushalt von Waldböden sowie den Erfolg von Eichenkulturen
(2024-04-05)Site preparation in forests has received criticism for potentially reducing site produc-tivity due to soil compaction and nutrient losses. Nontheless, from a practical perspec-tive, site preparation is an essential factor ... -
Vergleich von stillgelegten und bewirtschafteten Wäldern anhand von zwei Fallbeispielen in Brandenburg
(2024-04-02)Forests can provide a wide range of ecosystem services. However, not all ecosystem services can be maximized at the same time, which can lead to conflicting objectives. For example, objectives range from maximizing the ... -
Functional traits of vascular plants on islands across spatial scales
(2024-02-22)Islands have unique and disharmonic floras, resulting from the filtering effects of dispersal and climate and, in some cases, their high evolutionary diversification rates. Due to their small size and distinct boundaries, ... -
Sensitivity of phyto-geocentric site productivity models to spatial extent and climate data aggregation
(2024-02-20)The impact of climate warming on forestry in Germany and Europe has become more and more visible in recent years and decades. This has lead to an increased demand for predictions on the development of forest stands with ... -
Interactions between Water and Cellulose Esters
(2024-02-05)Unique interactions between cellulosic assemblies and water is something which needs to be harnessed in the drive toward a green and sustainable world for a range of applications, where the replacement of fossil-based ... -
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, ... -
Genetische Charakterisierung der slawonischen Stieleiche (Quercus robur subsp. slavonica (Gáyer) Mátyás) in Deutschland
(2024-01-30)The structure and composition of forests have a strong influence on forest ecosystems and their services and functions. From today's perspective, important properties such as ecosystem stability, biodiversity conservation ... -
Phylogenetic history and global diversity patterns of plants
(2024-01-26)Understanding where and how biodiversity originates and how it is maintained is one of the central questions in biogeography and macroecology. Phylogenies capture the evolutionary history of how lineages have diversified ... -
Fabrication of Multidimensional Sustainable Materials from Wood via Alkaline Periodate Oxidation
(2024-01-22)Producing multidimensional sustainable materials from wood using alkaline periodate oxidation (APO) is a promising path toward new materials that take advantage of the inherent properties of wood and the environmentally ... -
Genetic diversity of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) populations and agronomic traits for breeding
(2023-12-11)The tropical cacao tree, Theobroma cacao L., is cultivated to produce seeds, the unique raw material for the chocolate industry. Thus, conservation and use of cacao genetic resources in breeding programs are vital for the ... -
Seagrass as a Sustainable Alternative for Building Materials: Assessing its Feasibility, Processing Methods, and Performance in Construction
(2023-12-08)Seagrasses are vital contributors to the ecosystem, absorbing atmospheric CO2 and generating oxygen for marine life. However, when they decompose, the accumulated biomass along the shores can lead to concerns like CO2 and ... -
Dynamics and effects of nitrogen in European forest ecosystems
(2023-10-23)Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) emissions drastically altered the global N cycle over the 20th century. Activities associated with N emissions, such as intensive agriculture and the burning of fossil fuels, greatly increased ... -
Die betriebswirtschaftliche Bedeutung der Grundsteuer für Forstbetriebe nach der Reform und ihre Einordnung im europäischen Vergleich
(2023-07-31)On the occasion of the property tax reform, this study deals with the economic significance of property tax A – status January 2023. The focus is on forestry enterprises in the Lower Saxony State Forests on the one hand ... -
Improving rhinoceros conservation and management through behaviour-based research: Evidence from Botswana
(2023-07-07)Illegal wildlife trafficking is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss. Some of the most targeted species of illegal wildlife trade are rhinoceroses (“rhinos”), which exist nowadays in distinct populations in several ... -
Nutrient response efficiency, soil greenhouse gas fluxes, and nutrient leaching losses from a large-scale oil palm plantation under conventional and reduced management practices
(2023-07-06)The area of oil palm plantations has expanded rapidly in the tropics over the past few decades due to the high demand for palm oil and the considerable economic benefits. Oil palm is playing a vital role in the global ... -
Benchmarking in der Forstwirtschaft
(2023-06-07)Since the beginning of the 1990s, Swiss forest enterprises have on average achieved negative operating results. The main reason for this are the losses in forest management, the core task of forest enterprises. In the long ... -
Econometric Analysis of global wood markets and its implications on in-ternational forest products modelling
(2023-03-03)Global economic systems are changing due to several possible influences, like globalization, climate change, or social transformation. Even though, the wood markets analysis is well established and de-veloped for many kinds ... -
