Spatial and temporal fine root distribution growth of European beech, Norway spruce, and Douglas-fir in pure and mixed stands with beech under different site conditions
(2024-08-15)The major challenge of forest management globally is to manage forests in such a way that aspects of wood production and forest conservation are combined in order to have pro-ductive and stable forests that continuously ... -
Functional traits of vascular plants on islands across spatial scales
(2024-02-22)Islands have unique and disharmonic floras, resulting from the filtering effects of dispersal and climate and, in some cases, their high evolutionary diversification rates. Due to their small size and distinct boundaries, ... -
Global macroecology of ant-plant mutualisms: The role of biotic interactions in shaping species diversity and composition patterns
(2023-12-11)Understanding the mechanisms underlying patterns of species distribution and diversity is a central goal in ecology and biogeography. Biotic interactions have been acknowledged as important factors affecting species diversity ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Power-Linked Evaluation of State Forest Organizations
(2021-06-24)Globally, state forest organizations have a wide scope of tasks. They play a central role in managing state-owned forestlands. In addition, they are responsible for implementing forest law on both private and state-owned ... -
Water vapor, precipitation and evapotranspiration isotopic composition in the tropical atmospheric boundary layer
(2021-04-15)The tropical areas are home to important large-scale climatic phenomena, like the El-Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the monsoons, that influence the global climate to a large ... -
Smallholder vanilla agroforestry in Madagascar: biodiversity, ecosystem services and yields in a land-use context
(2021-03-18)Land-use change threatens biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. Tropical areas are currently particularly affected: natural ecosystems are being transformed into large-scale monocultures or small-scale mosaic ... -
Carbon Fluxes and Pools in a Montane Rainforest in Sulawesi, Indonesia
(2021-03-18)Forests play an important part in the global carbon cycle. While carbon balances of many forest types have been studied intensively, such information is very sparse for tropical montane rainforests. This thesis aims to ... -
Quantifying the impact of forest management intensity and tree species diversity on individual tree shape and three-dimensional stand structure
(2020-11-04)The three-dimensional distribution of trees and their crowns is an essential characteristic of forest ecosystems that is directly related to several ecosystem functions and services. Silvicultural interventions modify the ... -
Tree and oil palm water use: scaling, spatial heterogeneity and temporal dynamics (Sumatra, Indonesia)
(2020-10-30)Transpiration is a central flux in the terrestrial water cycle and is considered an important ecosystem service for atmosphere and hydrosphere regulation. Transpiration is strongly affected by land cover and land-use ... -
Predicting evapotranspiration from drone-recorded land surface temperatures - Method testing and development
(2020-09-08)Evapotranspiration (ET) is a central flux in the hydrological cycle on a regional and on a global scale. Transpiration from plants is the largest water flux from terrestrial surfaces, accounting for the major part of ... -
The environmental impact of selective logging in southern Cameroon: soil disturbance, nutrient budget and greenhouse gas fluxes
(2020-02-26)Tropical forests play an important role in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration in the vegetation and soils, which can be released to the atmosphere through deforestation and forest degradation. One of ... -
Zuwachspotenziale und Klimasensitivität eingeführter Baumarten in Nordrhein-Westfalen
(2020-02-14)The ongoing global change with increasing mean annual temperatures, altered conditions in precipitation and a higher expected frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events leads to unpredictable environmental conditions ... -
Etablierung von Nothofagus obliqua, Nothofagus glauca und Quillaja saponaria in der mediterranen Zone Chiles
(2019-10-30)Within the framework of the overall research project "Tree diversity in Mediterranean forests in Chile: are close-to-nature forestry and profitability mutually exclusive?" a field experiment with three Chilean tree species ... -
Tree Water Use Strategies in a Neotropical Dry Forest
(2019-10-11)Trees in tropical dry forests (TDFs) developed different drought coping strategies including e.g. succulence of different plant organs, wood anatomical traits and leaf phenology. Apart from the fact that water availability ... -
An investigation of temporal variability of CO2 fluxes in a boreal coniferous forest and a bog in central Siberia : from local to regional scale
(2019-07-19)Boreal forests and peatlands are the major types of vegetation in northern Eurasia. These ecosystems store large amount of carbon in their vegetation and soil, thus are essential ecosystems to understand the global carbon ... -
