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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Measurements of tropical bamboo water use
(2017-04-19)Bamboos are grasses (Poaceae) that are widespread in tropical and subtropical regions. As monocots, woody bamboos have thin-wall hollow culms with abundant parenchyma and the culms are connected by rhizomes. These properties ... -
Oil Palm and Rubber Tree Transpiration: Topography, Flooding and Tree admixture in Jungle Rubber Stands
(2017-03-27)In post-forest plantation landscapes of lowland Sumatra, I studied (1) effects of topography and flooding on transpiration by mono-cultural oil palm and rubber tree plantations, and (2) tree water use rates and tree soil ... -
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 ... -
Changes in eco-hydrological functioning after tropical rainforest transformation to rubber and oil palm plantations
(2015-10-09)This work presents findings from eco-hydrological research carried out in Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia in the framework of the CRC990 (Sub-Project A02). Our results point to substantial changes in central ecosystem water ... -
Tree water uptake partitioning and water use rates in a temperate mixed forest
(2014-01-09)Little information is available on the relationship between tree species diversity and forest stand water use although water availability is considered a major control of productivity in forests of central Europe and other ... -
Diversity and abundance of medicinal plants among different forest-use types of the Pakistani Himalaya
(2012-02-06)Medicinal plants collected in the Himalayan forests are receiving increasing attention at the international level for a number of reasons and they play an important role in securing rural ... -
Rainfall partitioning and soil water dynamics along a tree species diversity gradient in a deciduous old-growth forest in Central Germany
(2010-09-06)Species diversity effects have been extensively investigated in grassland ecosystems, however, little is known about the influence of tree species diversity on the forest water cycle. ... -
CACAO AGROFORESTRY UNDER AMBIENT AND REDUCED THROUGHFALL: TREE WATER USE CHARACTERISTICS AND STAND WATER BUDGETING
(2010-07-13)The world s tropical regions have faced dramatic losses in forest cover during recent decades. Although high rates of rainforest conversion continue today, reforestation is becoming more ... -
Tree transpiration inforest plantations: Effects of species, seasonality and diversity (Panama)
(2010-06-25)Forests serve many benefits worldwide such as providing renewable raw materials and energy, maintaining biodiversity and protecting land and water resources. However, they are threatened ... -
Lianenverjüngung in Primär- und Sekundärwäldern Zentralamazoniens
(2010-06-25)Lianas are an important component of tropical forests. Despite their moderate contribution to forest biomass and diversity, they have a strong influence on forest dynamics. Lianas are ... -
Rainfall partitioning in differently used montane rainforests of Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
(2007-01-31)This study was conducted within the project 'Stability of Rainforest Margins in Indonesia' (STORMA) along the margins of the Lore Lindu National Park in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The ... -
Functional and Morphological Diversity of Trees in Different Land Use Types along a Rainforest Margin in Sulawesi, Indonesia
(2004-08-16)This work was conducted in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, as a part of the German-Indonesian research project SFB 552, studying morphological, chemical and physiological leaf traits in sun leaves of mature trees in the ...
