Comparisons of modern pollen deposition with vegetation abundance and landscape pattern in NE-Germany
(2015-06-17)Since the introduction of pollen analysis for vegetation reconstruction, scientists have been concerned about the influence of different pollen productivities of individual taxa. A second long standing question focuses on ... -
Vascular plant species richness at the landscape scale: Patterns and processes
(2015-02-27)The heterogeneous geographic distribution of species richness has fascinated and challenged biologists over centuries. As a result, a large number of possible hypotheses that aim at explaining these patterns have been ... -
Studies on mountain vegetation, plant diversity, fire and forest line dynamics of the Southeastern and Central Ecuadorian Andes during the Late Quaternary
(2015-02-05)The Ecuadorian Andes in northwestern South America are well known for being among the hot spots of global vascular plant diversity due to their complex topography (uplift of the mountain chain), varying climatic conditions ... -
Landscape change and impoverishment in North German grasslands since the 1950s
(2014-09-05)Landscape and agricultural management has changed in Central Europe dramatically since the large-scale intensification processes (e.g. meliorations, synthetic fertilizer and herbicide use) started in the 1950/60s. Today, ... -
Halophytenvegetation im Chaco Boreal, Paraguay - Pflanzengeographie, Ökologie und Dynamik in Zeiten des Klima- und Landnutzungswandels
(2014-07-07)The South American Gran Chaco with its particular geological and climatic conditions is especially susceptible to salinization of soils and water. The aim of this study was to analyze the phytogeography and the phytosociology ... -
Diversity of rice weeds vegetation and its potential as local forage resource in Java, Indonesia
(2014-06-19)The ecosystems around paddy fields in Java are varied, owing to differences in climate, altitude and traditional farming varies across villages. The main objectives of the present study were 1) to examine the diversity ... -
Pleistocene and Holocene environmental changes in the Brazilian Amazon region
(2014-02-18)The biodiverse Amazon rainforest biome is the world’s largest rainforest ecosystem and plays an essential role for global climate, carbon budget, and the hydrological cycle. In the light of future climate change the ... -
Epiphyte diversity and microclimate of the tropical lowland cloud forest in French Guiana
(2013-11-06)Lowland cloud forests are well known from temperate regions, e.g. the coasts of California and northern Chile (Bruijnzeel 2001), but in the Tropics have remained uninvestigated. We tested the hypothesis that tropical ... -
Patterns of Mountain Vegetation Dynamics and their Responses to Environmental Changes in the South Ecuadorian Andes
(2013-10-30)The South Ecuadorian Andes harbour an outstandingly high species-richness. Many different environmental factors influence one another in a most limited space and create unique and complex ecosystems. This area is highly ... -
Vegetation, climate and environmental dynamics of the Black Sea/Northern Anatolian region during the last 134 ka obtained from palynological analysis
(2013-08-08)As a part of the multidisciplinary project “Dynamics of Mid-latitude/Mediterranean climate in Northern Anatolia/Black Sea region during the last 150 kyr”, this research presents new pollen and organic-walled dinoflagellate ... -
Reconstruction of late Quaternary landscape dynamics in the Podocarpus National Park region southern Andes of Ecuador
(2013-05-13)The Ecuadorian Andes harbor ecosystems with the highest biodiversity on earth. Background information on past environmental dynamic is needed to understand, conserve and manage the ecosystems and their biodiversity. Three ... -
Late Quaternary Vegetation History And Climate Change In The Gobi Desert, South Mongolia
(2012-06-19)Southern Mongolia is a part of the arid to semiarid region of Central Asia and represents a transitional zone between the circulation systems of westerlies and associated North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the Asian summer ... -
Fire and stand dynamics in different forest types of the West Khentey Mountains, Mongolia
(2011-11-24)This research focused on the reconstruction of historical fire regimes, structure and dynamic patterns of different types of forests, specifically to examine present tree species composition, ... -
Studies of vegetation, fire and climate dynamics during the late Quaternary as contribution towards conservation and management of the biodiversity hotspot Mata Atlântica in southern Brazil
(2011-08-30)Nowadays, a fascinating landscape from mosaics of forest and grassland (Campos) vegetation can be seen in the highlands of southern Brazil. The different ecosystems of Campos, Araucaria ... -
Late Quaternary landscape dynamics in the Podocarpus National Park region in the southeastern Andes of Ecuador
(2010-09-22)The southeastern Ecuadorian Andes belong to the tropical eastern Andes and represent one of the global centers of vascular plant diversity. They are one of the most biodiverse regions ... -
