Analysing and modelling spatial patterns to infer the influence of environmental heterogeneity using point pattern analysis, individual-based simulation modelling and landscape metrics
(2020-05-11)One of the main goals of ecology is to understand processes underlying patterns. Because presumably all ecological processes are spatially explicit, especially spatial patterns can contain a lot of information about the ... -
Community structure of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in temperate grassland and tropical land-use systems
(2015-08-31)Most plants in temperate and tropical regions form symbiotic association with mycorrhizal fungi. Studies on mutualistic association of mycorrhiza focus mainly on temperate regions of the world, whereas little information ... -
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 ... -
DNA sequence-based Identification and molecular phylogeni within subfamily Dipterocarpoideae (Dipterocarpaceae)
(2013-11-27)Dipterocarpaceae is the main timber family of tropical forest trees in the Malesian region with a geographical distribution that extends to South America and Africa. The family comprises approximately 500 species in 17 ... -
Drone-based assessments of crowns, canopy cover and land use types in and around an oil palm agroforestry experiment
(2019-04-11)Oil palm cultivation has vastly expanded in the last decades and led to high economic returns, but has also induced environmental problems including reduced biological diversity and impaired ecosystem services. One potential ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts of Short Rotation Coppice with Regard to the Amount and Quality of Groundwater Recharge
(2020-09-02)While there is broad agreement on the positive environmental impacts of short rotation plantations (SRC), possible negative impacts on groundwater recharge due to potentially high water consumption of trees on arabale land ... -
Factors Influencing Fruiting Body Initation of Agaricomycetes
(2021-04-23)Macroscopic multicellular fruiting bodies of Agaricomycetes, commonly referred to as mushrooms, are the most complex developmental structures which exist in the kingdom of fungi. Fruiting bodies serve in production and ... -
Landscape-level assessment of ecological and socioeconomic functions of rainforest transformation systems in Sumatra (Indonesia)
(2020-03-20)Tropical landscapes have experienced drastic land-use change in recent decades. The transformation from natural vegetation to agricultural production systems has a variety of negative impacts on ecosystem functioning, ... -
Modelling plant trait variability in changing arid environments
(2020-11-03)Communities in arid environments are especially vulnerable to global change because they experience highly unpredictable environmental conditions. The fate of communities in an uncertain future may be elucidated by ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Plant genetic diversity in tropical lowland rainforest transformation systems in Sumatra (Indonesia)
(2016-08-03)Forest are covering globally 31 % of the terrestrial area. Tropical rainforests cover 5 % of the terrestrial surface and are biodiversity hotspots due to their high number of endemic species and high species richness. The ... -
Psilocybe cyanescens in Germany
(2018-01-17)Psilocybe cyanescens is an invasive but understudied synanthrope in Germany. The ecological and social problems connected to this potently psychoactive member of the Strophariaceae required a comprehensive study describing ... -
Quantifying stand structure and structural complexity along a management gradient in temperate forests
(2020-10-01)The structure and structural complexity of forests influence many important characteristics of forest ecosystems, as well as their functions and services, such as ecosystem stability, maintenance of biodiversity and carbon ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Threatened tree species across conservation zones in a nature reserve of North-Western Vietnam
(2017-03-21)The high diversity of tree species in tropical forests is driven by a large proportion of rare species. Rare species are vulnerable and threatened to extirpation and extinction when their habitats are destroyed. This study ... -
Transpiration by oil palm and rubber plantations: refining methods and delineating differences
(2016-10-18)Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) and rubber (Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg.) plantations cover large areas in tropical regions and may still expand further. In contrast, the area covered by natural forests has strongly ...
