The long-term effects of fire, climate, and human impact in the highland and lowland ecosystems of Sumatra Indonesia
(2025-01-09)Sumatra, Indonesia is one of the outstanding biodiversity hotspots of the world. Over the past few decades, the primary forests of this island, from the highlands to the lowlands, have experienced a remarkable transformation ... -
Holocene vegetation and environmental changes with a focus on peat ecosystems in southwestern and northeastern Amazonia
(2024-03-27)Amazon rainforests are well-known for playing a significant role in the climate, hydrological cycle, and biodiversity on earth. Recent investigations found that Amazonia may contain the largest peat carbon (C) stock in the ... -
Studies on vegetation-, fire-, climate- and human history in the mid- to late Holocene - a contribution to protection and management of the forest-steppe-biome in the Mongolian Altai
(2020-09-10)In this thesis, several sedimentological archives from Altai Tavan Bogd National Park are studied to reconstruct the vegetation-, fire-, climate- and human history of the forest-steppe biome in the Mongolian Altai. The ... -
Holocene Vegetation and Disturbance Dynamics in the Araucaria araucana Forest: a paleoecological contribution for conservation
(2020-07-15)Climatic changes have changed the vegetation distribution in northern Patagonia over millennial time-scale; while, fire and volcanoes disturbance might play an important role in the vegetation dynamics, especially in the ... -
Holocene vegetation dynamics and disturbance regimes in north Patagonia Argentina (40°S)
(2020-07-14)Northern Patagonia in Argentina (40°S) offers a great opportunity to analyse the influence of volcanic ash deposition and fire on the vegetation composition. Here, three lakes located strategically along the forest-steppe ... -
Palaeoecological Evidence of Ecosystem Dynamics in Sumatra, Indonesia. Case Studies of Tropical Submountains and Mangroves
(2019-07-03)The mountain and mangrove ecosystems are an important component of Sumatra’s landscape. These highly diverse ecosystems provide numerous ecological services as well as socio-economic function, but they are also sensitive ... -
Late Quaternary vegetation, climate and ocean dynamics inferred from marine sediment cores off southeastern South America
(2018-09-04)Southeastern South America harbour highly diverse and species-rich ecosystems, such as the Atlantic rainforest, Araucaria forest and grasslands, which occur in a transitional zone from tropical to subtropical. This climatic ... -
Late quaternary vegetation and climate dynamics in western amazonia
(2017-04-11)The Amazon is a shelter for a huge variety of fauna and flora with the largest fluvial system and the highest diversity in the world. The biotic and abiotic factors of the floodplains serve to control the development and ... -
Long-term dynamics of tropical rainforests, climate, fire, human impact and land-use change in Indonesia
(2016-05-09)The research conducted and compiled in this thesis contributes to the knowledge of the long-term vegetation, climate and fire dynamics as well as human impact on montane and peat-swamp rainforests of Indonesia. We applied ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
