Responses of net primary production and plant-available soil nutrients to elevated nutrient input in a tropical forest on highly weathered soil
(2022-06-07)Globally, tropical forests are highly productive ecosystems and play a critical role in sequestering anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, accounting for up to half of the terrestrial biosphere’s carbon ... -
Impregnation of railway sleepers - Process optimisation by using an oily wood preservative and a mechanical pre-treatment
(2022-05-31)The use of creosote as a wood preservative has a long history. For more than 170 years wooden railway sleepers are impregnated with creosote. After initially using vacuum pressure processes for impregnation, empty cell ... -
Influence of mycorrhiza on nutrient physiology of trees in mixed and mono-specific stands along climatic and land use gradients
(2022-05-25)Global change drivers such as climate change, land-use change, anthropogenic N deposition, deteriorating P nutrition and other calamities jeopardize temperate forest ecosystem functions. Essential components for the ... -
Modelling, management and restoration of savannas in southern Africa
(2022-05-10)Context - Bush encroachment has been observed in southern African savannas for several decades. This form of land degradation reduces the abundance of (palatable) grass biomass on farms, which in turn can support less ... -
Soil greenhouse gas (N2O, CO2 and CH4) fluxes from cropland agroforestry and monoculture systems
(2022-04-28)Conventional agriculture is the dominant contributor to negative environmental impacts such as the growth in global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the challenges are likely to increase with the increasing global food ... -
Quantifying three-dimensional stand structure of European beech forests along a management gradient
(2022-04-26)Forest structure is of functional importance for ecosystem stability and resilience, as well as for numerous other ecosystem functions and services. In this context, a high structural complexity can have a positive effect ... -
Fruiting body development of Coprinopsis cinerea: Cytology and regulatory factors
(2022-04-11)Coprinopsis cinerea, the gray shagged ink-cap, is a saprotrophic edible basidiomycete that naturally grows on horse dung. Despite richness in nutrients, the typical fast autolysis of the cap of the mushroom during maturation ... -
Applikation naturnaher Bindemittel zur Herstellung von Holzfaserdämmstoffen mittels Heißluft-/Heißdampf-Verfahren
(2022-04-07)In times of the Anthropocene, a recently proclaimed epoch of world history, human activity is the main factor influencing biological, geological and atmospheric chang-es on planet Earth. Accordingly, only humans themselves ... -
Physiological, morphological and molecular acclimation of Populus spp. to high salinity
(2022-03-25)Salinization of terrestrial land is a global environmental problem, causing loss in soil fertility. Cultivation of salt tolerant species counteracts soil degradation and ensures productive utilization of salt-affected ... -
Prediction of forest soil trafficability by topography-based algorithms and in-situ test procedures
(2022-03-10)Modern forest management entails the utilization of harvesting machinery, which enables safe and efficient forest operations. Still, such machines are frequently resulting in severe soil damage, such as compaction and ... -
Influence of competition and other factors on crown and stem characteristics of northern red oak
(2022-03-10)Native to northeastern America and southeastern Canada, northern red oak (Q. rubra L.) was introduced to Europe in 1691 and initially planted in parks and gardens. In the following centuries, three silvicultural ... -
Gross N2O emission and gross N2O uptake in temperate cropland agroforestry and monoculture systems
(2022-02-24)Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas and also the remaining threat to the ozone layer. N2O emission is mainly from cropland accounting for 82% of the global N2O increase, which is of great concern for policymakers ... -
Diversity and composition of tree communities in the mosaic landscape of north-eastern Madagascar
(2022-01-14)In Madagascar, a large percentage of the rural human population faces multifaceted poverty and depends on agriculture and natural resources as main livelihood sources. Consequently, the country’s biodiverse natural ecosystems ... -
Kronenstruktur und -dynamik von Rein- und Mischbeständen aus Buche, Fichte und Douglasie
(2022-01-13)In this study, crown traits were examined in order to analyze their change depending on the neighborhood of individual trees and based on this, to compare the crown structure and use of space in pure and mixed stands. The ... -
Impact of tropical rainforest transformation in Indonesia on soil carbon sources, turnover and losses
(2022-01-13)Agricultural expansion is one of the most dominant drivers of deforestation word wide. The globally rising demand for cash crops such as oil palm and rubber, caused rapid agricultural expansion during the last decades, ... -
