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 ... -
Morphological variation, proximity to water, comparative venom proteomics and snakebite epidemiology of the medically important Cypriot blunt-nosed viper Macrovipera lebetina lebetina
(2023-09-22)Snakes and humans are in a complex relationship. While snakes are of ecological and economic relevance as rodent predators, thus contributing to food security and public health, venomous species are also of medical importance ... -
Linking China Forest Ecology Development with Power: Cases from 1998 to 2022
(2023-09-22)Since the 1980s, China's forest area has experienced a remarkable recovery, simultaneously promoting the ecological functions of forests in biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration. China's forest transformation ... -

(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 ... -
Flux measurements at the land-atmosphere interface: Extending the theory and implementation of the true eddy accumulation and eddy covariance measurement techniques
(2023-06-28)Interactions between the biosphere and the atmosphere have profound effects on the global climate and the future trajectory of the Earth system. Understanding the dynamics and controls of these interactions requires ... -
New insights into drivers and passengers of tree architecture
(2023-06-27)Individual tree architecture and species composition perform a critical role in many ecological processes and resources a forest offers, such as wood value, biodiversity, and ecosystem stability. The structure and dynamics ... -
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 ... -

(2023-02-01)The present research was performed within the scopes of the DFG Research Training Group 1703 “Resource Efficiency in Interorganizational Networks” and AiF Project GmbH (project No. 16KN065229), which aims at developing a ... -
Investigation of the effects of raw material density and molecular weight of phenolic binders on the properties of lightweight panels based on Paulownia wood
(2023-01-03)Abstract This thesis focuses on different production process conditions of strand boards (SBs), especially with wood species (Paulownia tomentosa) by various adhesive binders (pMDI) and their influence on the properties ... -
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 ... -
