Changes in trophic niches of oribatid mites with transformation of tropical rainforest systems - from rainforest into rubber and oil palm plantations in Sumatra, Indonesia
(2021-01-05)During the last decades especially tropical regions suffered from degradation as well as transformation of landscapes into different land-use systems. Logged rainforest sites in Southeast Asia are often transformed into ... -
The role of the fine root system in carbon fluxes and carbon allocation patterns of tropical ecosystems along a climate and land-use gradient at Mount Kilimanjaro
(2020-10-13)The combined effects of global warming and land-use conversion to human-modified systems are threatening biodiversity and ecosystem processes maintained by tropical mountains. To assess and predict the impact of global ... -
Arable plant diversity in conventionally managed farmland of Northwest Germany – Current state and a participative approach to increase farmland biodiversity
(2020-10-08)With the beginning of Central European agriculture in the Neolithic, man-made landscapes have been created, which are characterized by arable land cultivated with crops and grasslands needed for livestock farming. In these ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Vegetation, climate and fire dynamics of Upper Montane Forest and Campos de Altitude during the Holocene in southeastern Brazil
(2020-09-22)The Atlantic Forest biome is well known as one of the mostly biodiversity regions on earth, hosting high species endemism and species/area ratio. It stretches around 1,300,000 km2 along the Brazilian coast between latitudes ... -
Vegetation patterns and processes in semi-natural open habitats and the contribution of wild red deer to their conservation
(2019-09-30)Traditional practices of human land use have shaped semi-natural open habitats over the past millennia, resulting in the typical European cultural landscapes with characteristic, diverse species communities. In the course ... -
Coral islands in West Papua: A model system for functional and taxonomic diversity and the resilience of isolated habitats
(2019-07-03)Biological diversity on islands is shaped by an interplay of geo-environmental dynamics that are relatively easy to observe, as islands have distinct boundaries and are often small in size. These unique characteristics of ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The assembly of island floras from a macroecological perspective.
(2019-01-24)Islands have always played a central role in ecology and biogeography. On the one hand, island biotas are ecologically unique by featuring exceptionally high rates of endemism and remarkable evolutionary adaptations while ... -
Plant diversity and landscape-scale effects on multitrophic interactions involving invertebrates
(2018-11-12)Biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems is declining due to increasing anthropogenic pressure. Urban and agricultural expansion lead to shrinking natural or seminatural habitats. In addition, management intensification of ... -
Spread and performance of European earthworms invading North America as indicated by molecular markers and climate chamber experiments
(2018-10-15)European lumbricid earthworms were introduced into northern North America by European settlers about 400 years ago. They are invasive across the continent and cause notable changes in native forest ecosystems. Human-mediated ... -
Structure, Productivity and Carbon Storage of Primeval European Beech Forests
(2018-06-06)A major part of the potential natural vegetation of central Europe consists of European beech forests (Fagus sylvatica L.). Beech is one of the most important broadleaf tree species for forestry within its distribution ... -
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 ... -
Assembly processes in soil animal communities: Integrating phylogeny and trait-based approaches
(2018-03-02)Soils are among the most biodiverse systems on earth. The coexistence in soils of a multitude of animal species has long puzzled soil ecologists. How can so many species co-occur, and what are the processes driving and ... -
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 ... -
Carbon and nutrient cycles depending on climate and land use along the elevation gradient of Mount Kilimanjaro
(2017-10-18)Ecosystem functions of tropical mountain ecosystems and their ability to provide ecosystem services are particularly threatened by the combined impact of climate and land-use change. Carbon and nutrient cycling are fundamental ... -
