Restoration of coniferous monocultures towards mixed broad-leaved forests in Central Europe – Patterns and processes of stand and vegetation diversification
(2024-11-05)Globally, forests provide essential ecosystem services to society, but their functionality is increasingly impaired by abiotic and biotic disturbances that are expected to further increase with predicted climate change. ... -
Genotype effect on Norway spruce (Picea abies) mycobiome and resistance against Heterobasidion parviporum under abiotic stress
(2024-11-05)Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) holds considerable economic importance as a tree species in Europe. However, it faces significant vulnerability to attacks from the Heterobasidion annosum species complex, resulting ... -
Mycorrhizal mediation of nutrient distribution and stress responses in beech and conifer mixtures
(2024-10-14)With global warming, drought is a rising concern for forests worldwide. In Central Europe, drought has caused severe diebacks of Norway spruce (Picea abies), the most common and economically relevant tree species. ... -
Wachstum und waldbauliche Behandlung der Roteiche (Quercus rubra L.) in Nordwestdeutschland
(2024-10-14)Seventy years after the first monographs on the Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra L.) for West Germany (Bauer 1953a) and East Germany (Göhre and Wagenknecht 1955) were published, this work is once again devoted to growth, ... -
Economic implications of tree species composition and structural diversity in European beech stands enriched with coniferous trees
(2024-09-27)Central European forests are the result of centuries of human activity. Changes in species composition, mainly by introducing conifers to areas outside their native range, mostly Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.; ... -
Inter and intra-specific interaction effects on individual tree architecture and stand structure, and consequences for ecosystem functions in mixed forests
(2024-09-27)Central Europe is predicted to experience an increase in temperatures and storm frequency and intensity, which will impact forest ecosystems directly and in interaction. European forests host a large share of Europe’s ... -
Neue Wege bei der stofflichen Verwertung von expandiertem Maisschrot
(2024-08-20)The dissertation deals with a material based on expanded corn grits. In three work packages, various methods for adapting or improving the properties of this material are presented and discussed. The first work ... -
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 ... -
Ecological modeling in two areas: species distribution modeling using commonness optimization and risk assessment for honeybees
(2024-07-09)Ecological systems are complex. Ecological models are simplified versions of ecological systems. Scientists use ecological models to better understand and manage ecological systems. I applied ecological models in two ... -
Oxygen flux simulations as a constraint for carbon fluxes and nitrogen sources in a temperate forest ecosystem
(2024-06-20)The O2:CO2 exchange ratio (ER) between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere is a key parameter for partitioning global ocean and land carbon fluxes. The long-term terrestrial ER is considered to be close to 1.10 mol ... -
Economic potentials and limitations of tree-species diversification as an adaptation strategy to climate change and extreme weather events
(2024-06-12)Increasing biophysical disturbances under climate change have severe impacts on forest ecosystems. Recent large-scale calamities in Central Europe have underlined how extreme weather events challenge our understanding of ... -
Forest biodiversity in times of global environmental change: Effects of tree species identity and admixture on diversity and trophic niches of arthropods, under special consideration of the canopy and its architecture
(2024-04-26)Global climate change poses unprecedented challenges to forest ecosystems, requiring adapted management to halt loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In Central Europe, forest diebacks primarily hit profitable ... -
Characterising the Baobab Industry: Informality and Innovation Capacity
(2024-04-23)Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) processing and marketing is a promising non-timber forest product (NTFP)-based industry with immense socioeconomic value, and a demonstrable circular bioeconomy potential. However, the ... -
Effects of managed forest stand composition on small mammal demography and reciprocal effects on seed predation patterns in Northern Germany
(2024-04-08)In an effort to ameliorate the impacts of climate change, forest managers in Central Europe increasingly turn to conifer species that produce higher yields and are better adapted to projected future climatic conditions. ... -
Auswirkung von Bodenbearbeitungen auf den Nährstoffhaushalt von Waldböden sowie den Erfolg von Eichenkulturen
(2024-04-05)Site preparation in forests has received criticism for potentially reducing site produc-tivity due to soil compaction and nutrient losses. Nontheless, from a practical perspec-tive, site preparation is an essential factor ... -
Vergleich von stillgelegten und bewirtschafteten Wäldern anhand von zwei Fallbeispielen in Brandenburg
(2024-04-02)Forests can provide a wide range of ecosystem services. However, not all ecosystem services can be maximized at the same time, which can lead to conflicting objectives. For example, objectives range from maximizing the ... -
From Points to Forests - The potential of 3D point clouds to evaluate the structural complexity of differently managed beech forests
(2024-03-04)Climate change is leading to global shifts that can create a particular challenge for the stability and vitality of forest ecosystems. In the temperate forests of Central Europe, the natural forest vegetation is dominated ... -
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, ... -
Sensitivity of phyto-geocentric site productivity models to spatial extent and climate data aggregation
(2024-02-20)The impact of climate warming on forestry in Germany and Europe has become more and more visible in recent years and decades. This has lead to an increased demand for predictions on the development of forest stands with ... -
Interactions between Water and Cellulose Esters
(2024-02-05)Unique interactions between cellulosic assemblies and water is something which needs to be harnessed in the drive toward a green and sustainable world for a range of applications, where the replacement of fossil-based ...
