Journal Article
Agent-mediated spatial storage effect in heterogeneous habitat stabilizes competitive mouse lemur coexistence in Menabe Central, Western Madagascar
(2015)
Abstract Background Spatio-temporal distribution patterns of species in response to natural and anthropogenic drivers provide insight into the ecological processes that determine community composition. We investigated ...
Journal Article
Effects of density dependence in a temperate forest in northeastern China.
(2016)
Negative density dependence may cause reduced clustering among individuals of the same species, and evidence is accumulating that conspecific density-dependent self-thinning is an important mechanism regulating the spatial ...
Journal Article
Stable isotope analysis (δ (13)C and δ (15)N) of soil nematodes from four feeding groups.
(2016)
Soil nematode feeding groups are a long-established trophic categorisation largely based on morphology and are used in ecological indices to monitor and analyse the biological state of soils. Stable isotope ratio analysis ...
Journal Article
Environmental variables controlling soil respiration on diurnal, seasonal and annual time-scales in a mixed mountain forest in Switzerland
(2009)
Studies on soil respiration in mountain forests are rather scarce compared to their broad distribution. Therefore, we investigated daily, seasonal and annual soil respiration rates in a mixed forest (Lägeren), located at ...
Journal Article
Atmosphereic Pressure Plasma Coating of Wood and MDF with Polyester Powder
(2017)
In this study, polyester powder based on iso- and teraphthalic acid was deposited with
an atmospheric plasma jet. The powder was fed into the effluent plasma zone and deposited on
European beech wood (Fagus sylvatica ...
Journal Article
Evaluating the performance of land surface model ORCHIDEE-CAN v1.0 on water and energy flux estimation with a single- and multi-layer energy budget scheme
(2016)
Canopy structure is one of the most important vegetation characteristics for land–atmosphere interactions, as it determines the energy and scalar exchanges between the land surface and the overlying air mass. In this study ...
Journal Article
Plywood made from plasma-treated veneers: melamine uptake, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties
(2017)
This study investigates the dimensional stability and mechanical properties of plywood boards made of thermally modified and unmodified beech veneers that have undergone plasma pre-treatment before melamine resin impregnation. ...
Journal Article
Evolutionary history of wild barley (Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum) analyzed using multilocus sequence data and paleodistribution modeling.
(2014-03-01)
Studies of Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum, the wild progenitor of cultivated barley, have mostly relied on materials collected decades ago and maintained since then ex situ in germplasm repositories. We analyzed spatial ...
Journal Article
Soil Elements Influencing Community Structure in an Old-Growth Forest in Northeastern China
(2016)
This study uses detailed soil and vegetation data collected in a 30-ha old-growth
broad-leaved Korean pine forest to study the effect of soil properties on tree community structures.
Spatial distribution patterns are ...
Journal Article
Root-Derived Short-Chain Suberin Diacids from Rice and Rape Seed in a Paddy Soil under Rice Cultivar Treatments.
(2015)
Suberin-derived substituted fatty acids have been shown to be potential biomarkers for plant-derived carbon (C) in soils across ecosystems. Analyzing root derived suberin compounds bound in soil could help to understand ...
