Vitality of heather (Calluna vulgaris) along gradients of climate, structure and diversity in dry lowland heathland habitats of Northern Germany
(2022-06-29)This thesis provides a fundamental overview to North German Dry lowland heathland vegetation composition, vegetation structures and the determinants for the vitality of the key species, Calluna vulgaris. It offers new ... -
Vascular plant and cryptogam diversity in Fagus sylvatica primeval forests and comparison to production stands in the western Carpathian Mountains, Slovakia
(2019-06-07)Summary Conflicting evidence exists with respect to the putative effect of forest management on plant species diversity. Various published studies have concluded that primeval forests are not that species-rich and that ... -
The effect of the mycorrhizal type on root-rhizosphere interactions in AM and ECM tree species: field studies and mesocosm experiments
(2019-02-20)Based on the two main types of mycorrhizal associations in temperate forests, which are arbuscular (AM) and ectomycorrhiza (ECM), the idea of a mycorrhizal-associated nutrient economy framework developed (Phillips et al., ... -
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 ... -
Climate response of above- and belowground productivity and allocation in European beech
(2015-05-28)European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is by far the most abundant tree species of Central Europe’s natural forest vegetation and one of the economically most important trees in Germany. Although this late-successional tree ... -
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 ... -
Drought Adaptation of the Fine Root System and Hydraulic Architecture of Larix sibirica at its Southern Distribution Limit General introduction
(2015-01-12)Taiga-steppe ecotone is a natural grassland habitat with isolated forest islands and low precipitation (c. 100-250 mm yr-1), and is an important part of the boreal biome. The southernmost distribution limit of Siberian ... -
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, ... -
Hydraulic traits and their relevance for water use strategies in five broad-leaved tree species of a temperate mixed forest
(2013-11-14)Without anthropogenic intervention, Central Europe would be covered by about 65% by beech-dominated broad-leaved forests. However, large forest areas have been replaced by coniferous monocultures since the early 19th century ... -
Habitat ecology and long-term development of the macrophyte vegetation of north-west German streams and rivers since the 1950s
(2013-11-08)This PhD thesis deals with the habitat characterization and the long-term development over 60 years of the macrophyte vegetation of north-west German running waters in order to contribute to the knowledge about the ecology ... -
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 ...
