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 ... -
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 ... -
Definition of areas with high conservation priority in Southern Ecuador – An approach combining spatial and temporal patterns of deforestation and human impact with endemic plant diversity
(2016-10-28)The forests of South Ecuador have high conservation value because they are highly threatened, but also possess high diversity and endemism levels. However, as the process of conservation is inherently spatial, the little ... -
Development and dynamics of the Atlantic rainforest during the Late Quaternary and its connections with the climate system
(2016-06-29)The Atlantic rainforest harbour an outstandingly high biodiversirty. Many different environmental factors (climate, soil, geomorphology, ocean and etc) interact in a very large space creating complex ecosystems with high ... -
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 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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Palynological studies and Holocene ecosystem dynamics in north western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region
(2016-04-28)Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (31°49´N, 70°55´E to 35°50´N, 71°47´E) is located in north western Pakistan in south Asia. The Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan lies to its west, Indian Himalayas to the northeast and Karakorum Mountains ... -
Resilience of Earthworm and Soil Microbial Communities to Agricultural Intensification and Climatic Extremes - A Case Study in the North German Lowlands
(2023-05-16)High demands for agricultural goods such as food, fiber and fodder and at the same time a decreasing farmland area result in an ongoing intensification of agricultural production. This is accompanied by high environmental ... -
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 ... -
The late holocene history of vegetation, climate, fire dynamics and human impacts in Java and Southern Kalimantan
(2016-09-14)Detailed analysis of past environmental, climate and land use history in the Indonesian region is essential to obtain better understanding of human-environment relationships and to prevent uncertainties in future development ... -
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 ...
