Land use and land cover changes in South East Asia: The effects of land transformations on biophysical variables in Indonesia

Sabajo, Clifton Ralph (2018-10-01)

Over the last decades, Indonesia has experienced dramatic land transformations with an expansion of oil palm plantations at the expense of tropical forests. Indonesia is currently one of the regions with the highest ...

Quantifying three-dimensional stand structure and its relationship with forest management and microclimate in temperate forest ecosystems

Ehbrecht, Martin Alexander (2018-02-01)

Summary Forest management modifies the spatial structure of forest ecosystems, which is considered to be relevant for habitat availability and biodiversity as well as several ecosystem processes and functions. Contrary ...

Picea abies and climate change – does increasing thinning intensity prevent drought stress?

Gebhardt, Timo (2017-10-11)

The predicted increase in frequency of intense and prolonged drought events challenges forest management. Centuries of forest management has led to Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) monocultures outside its natural ...

Changes in eco-hydrological functioning after tropical rainforest transformation to rubber and oil palm plantations

Röll, Alexander (2015-10-09)

This work presents findings from eco-hydrological research carried out in Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia in the framework of the CRC990 (Sub-Project A02). Our results point to substantial changes in central ecosystem water ...

Impacts of land use and biophysical properties on soil carbon stocks in southern Yunnan, China

de Blécourt, Marleen (2015-01-23)

For the montane regions of mainland Southeast Asia (Southwest China, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, northeast Thailand, and northwest Vietnam) few data is available on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in relation to land use, ...

Competition mechanisms of native and exotic tree species

Kawaletz, Heike (2014-01-09)

The amount of exotic plant species introduced to new regions by humans has considerably increased in the last two centuries. Worldwide, the invasion of exotic species represents an important threat to native biodiversity ...

Tree water uptake partitioning and water use rates in a temperate mixed forest

Meißner, Meik (2014-01-09)

Little information is available on the relationship between tree species diversity and forest stand water use although water availability is considered a major control of productivity in forests of central Europe and other ...

Habitat Suitability Modeling for Tiger (Panthera tigris) in the Hukaung Valley Tiger Reserve, Northern Myanmar

Kywe, Tin Zar (2012-10-11)

This study based on the aim to contribute to the effective conservation of suitable tiger habitat by drawing habitat suitability map. We modeled habitat suitability using the empirical multivariate approach of the ...

Investigations of genetic variation of teak (Tectona grandis Linn. f.) in Myanmar for conservation and sustainable utilization of genetic resources

Minn, Yazar (2012-09-26)

Teak (Tectona grandis) is a valuable tropical forest tree species which naturally occurs in India, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand. Ten polymorphic nuclear microsatellite markers (SSRs) and seventy-one AFLP markers (Amplified ...

Diversity and abundance of medicinal plants among different forest-use types of the Pakistani Himalaya

Adnan, Muhammad (2012-02-06)

Medicinal plants collected in the Himalayan forests are receiving increasing attention at the international level for a number of reasons and they play an important role in securing rural ...

Trace Gas Fluxes from Tropical Montane Forests of Southern Ecuador

Martinson, Guntars O. (2011-11-30)

Methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are major greenhouse gases but their fluxes in tropical montane forests are hardly known. The distribution of known sources of ...

Further development and adaptation of large area forest inventories and remote sensing applications to comprehensive data providers for international processes

Fischer, Christoph (2011-10-31)

With this study we present a forest inventory approach on national level for Burkina Faso where a relatively small sample size is combined with relatively large sample plots. To our knowledge, ...

The Effect of Root Volatiles on the Orientation Behaviour of Cockchafer Larvae in the Soil

Weissteiner, Sonja Maria (2011-06-24)

The present study investigates the effect of root volatiles on the orientation behaviour of cockchafer larvae Melolontha hippocastani in the soil. Cockchafer larvae are known as severe pests ...

Rainfall partitioning and soil water dynamics along a tree species diversity gradient in a deciduous old-growth forest in Central Germany

Krämer, Inga (2010-09-06)

Species diversity effects have been extensively investigated in grassland ecosystems, however, little is known about the influence of tree species diversity on the forest water cycle. ...
