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 ... -
Dehydration behavior of hydrogels
(2024-01-31)Hydrogels, with their porous structures, steric networks, and high water content, which closely resemble living organisms, are attractive materials for numerous applications, including wound dressing, tissue engineering, ... -
