Genetische Charakterisierung der slawonischen Stieleiche (Quercus robur subsp. slavonica (Gáyer) Mátyás) in Deutschland
(2024-01-30)The structure and composition of forests have a strong influence on forest ecosystems and their services and functions. From today's perspective, important properties such as ecosystem stability, biodiversity conservation ... -
Phylogenetic history and global diversity patterns of plants
(2024-01-26)Understanding where and how biodiversity originates and how it is maintained is one of the central questions in biogeography and macroecology. Phylogenies capture the evolutionary history of how lineages have diversified ... -
Fabrication of Multidimensional Sustainable Materials from Wood via Alkaline Periodate Oxidation
(2024-01-22)Producing multidimensional sustainable materials from wood using alkaline periodate oxidation (APO) is a promising path toward new materials that take advantage of the inherent properties of wood and the environmentally ... -
Genetic diversity of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) populations and agronomic traits for breeding
(2023-12-11)The tropical cacao tree, Theobroma cacao L., is cultivated to produce seeds, the unique raw material for the chocolate industry. Thus, conservation and use of cacao genetic resources in breeding programs are vital for the ... -
Seagrass as a Sustainable Alternative for Building Materials: Assessing its Feasibility, Processing Methods, and Performance in Construction
(2023-12-08)Seagrasses are vital contributors to the ecosystem, absorbing atmospheric CO2 and generating oxygen for marine life. However, when they decompose, the accumulated biomass along the shores can lead to concerns like CO2 and ... -
Dynamics and effects of nitrogen in European forest ecosystems
(2023-10-23)Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) emissions drastically altered the global N cycle over the 20th century. Activities associated with N emissions, such as intensive agriculture and the burning of fossil fuels, greatly increased ... -
Die betriebswirtschaftliche Bedeutung der Grundsteuer für Forstbetriebe nach der Reform und ihre Einordnung im europäischen Vergleich
(2023-07-31)On the occasion of the property tax reform, this study deals with the economic significance of property tax A – status January 2023. The focus is on forestry enterprises in the Lower Saxony State Forests on the one hand ... -
Improving rhinoceros conservation and management through behaviour-based research: Evidence from Botswana
(2023-07-07)Illegal wildlife trafficking is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss. Some of the most targeted species of illegal wildlife trade are rhinoceroses (“rhinos”), which exist nowadays in distinct populations in several ... -
Nutrient response efficiency, soil greenhouse gas fluxes, and nutrient leaching losses from a large-scale oil palm plantation under conventional and reduced management practices
(2023-07-06)The area of oil palm plantations has expanded rapidly in the tropics over the past few decades due to the high demand for palm oil and the considerable economic benefits. Oil palm is playing a vital role in the global ... -
Benchmarking in der Forstwirtschaft
(2023-06-07)Since the beginning of the 1990s, Swiss forest enterprises have on average achieved negative operating results. The main reason for this are the losses in forest management, the core task of forest enterprises. In the long ... -
Econometric Analysis of global wood markets and its implications on in-ternational forest products modelling
(2023-03-03)Global economic systems are changing due to several possible influences, like globalization, climate change, or social transformation. Even though, the wood markets analysis is well established and de-veloped for many kinds ... -
Overcoming Limitations in Biodiversity Data
(2022-12-02)Large-scale biodiversity data drive the research of the variation and interdependence among living organisms that sustain life. Taxonomic and point-occurrence validity of species, sample completeness, and consistency are ... -
Growth, hydraulics and functional traits of Melia dubia across a steep climatic gradient in southern India
(2022-11-16)The global demand for wood has been continuously increasing and the world is also witnessing large-scale deforestation. This is largely contributing to global warming, land degradation and biodiversity loss. Quite a large ... -
Consequences of enriching European beech forests with non-native Douglas fir for generalist arthropod predator diversity, abundance and pest control
(2022-10-27)As anthropogenic climate induced stress leads to biodiversity loss and an increase in the frequency and severity of pest outbreaks, forest management in Central Europe is looking for ways to balance demands of biodiversity ... -
Vorschläge zur Optimierung/Verbesserung der genetischen Qualität von Saatgut aus Erntebeständen bei den Eichenarten (Quercus robur L. & Quercus petraea [Matt.] Lieb.)
(2022-10-27)Climate models predict drier and warmer summer months and increasingly frequent drought events. As a more climate-resilient tree species, oak will therefore become much more important than other deciduous trees and even ... -
Herstellung von Holzfaserdämmstoffen auf Laub- und Nadelholzbasis mit dem Fokus auf der Fasercharakterisierung, sowie der Ermittlung der physikalischen, mechanischen und biologischen Eigenschaften
(2022-10-19)The objective of this work was to investigate the use of hardwood fibres for the production of wood fibre insulation materials in order to provide a broader range of raw materials against the background of ecological forest ... -
Distribution, ecology and conservation priorities of the critically endangered Balkan lynx (Lynx lynx balcanicus Bureš, 1941)
(2022-10-11)Large-bodied mammals require large space for their daily activities, sometimes causing conflicts with humans. Although Europe’s policy ushered the comeback of herbivores and large carnivores, the overcrowded continent ... -
Unlocking proteomic and ecological heterogeneity between Schizophyllum commune and Trametes versicolor as early sapwood colonizers on wood
(2022-08-12)Fungi are an essential part of forest ecosystems and wood decay fungi play key roles in degradation of wood and in nutrient recycling. The complete degradation of wood by a single fungal species is a challenge due to the ... -
Konzeption eines „smarten“ betrieblichen Flächenmanagementsystems für den kleineren Nicht-Staatswald
