Prietzel J., Wiesmeier M. (2019.0). A concept to optimize the accuracy of soil surface area and SOC stock quantification in mountainous landscapes. Geoderma, 356(), 113922. doi:10.1016/j.geoderma.2019.113922

A correct quantification of soil surface and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks is crucial for the evaluation of important soil functions, including atmospheric C sequestration. At present, soil science lacks (i) a clear definition of soil depth, (ii) consented procedures for soil sampling, as well as…

Kreyling J., Grant K., Hammerl V., Arfin-Khan M., Malyshev A., Peñuelas J., Pritsch K., Sardans J., Schloter M., Schuerings J., Jentsch A., Beierkuhnlein C. (2019.0). Winter warming is ecologically more relevant than summer warming in a cool-temperate grassland. Scientific Reports, 9(1), . doi:10.1038/s41598-019-51221-w

AbstractClimate change affects all seasons, but warming is more pronounced in winter than summer at mid- and high latitudes. Winter warming can have profound ecological effects, which are rarely compared to the effects of summer warming, and causal explanations are not well established. We compared …

Jentsch A., White P. (2019.0). A theory of pulse dynamics and disturbance in ecology. Ecology, 100(7), . doi:10.1002/ecy.2734

We propose four postulates as the minimum set of logical propositions necessary for a theory of pulse dynamics and disturbance in ecosystems: (1) resource dynamics characterizes the magnitude, rate, and duration of resource change caused by pulse events, including the continuing changes in resources…

Influence of rewetting on microbial communities involved in nitrification and denitrification in a grassland soil after a prolonged drought period. Scientific Reports, 9(1), . doi:10.1038/s41598-018-38147-5

AbstractThe frequency of extreme drought and heavy rain events during the vegetation period will increase in Central Europe according to future climate change scenarios, which will affect the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems in multiple ways. In this study, we simulated an extreme drought event…

Magnitude and timing of precipitation events within the growing season might be decisive for alterations in potential extracellular enzyme activity (PEEA), with consequences for nutrient cycle, and carbon storage in grassland ecosystems. Pattern of PEEA catalyzing major steps of the carbon cycle (β-…

Fütterer S., Ewald J. (2019.0). Die Biotopausstattung der Brunnenkopfalm im Ammergebirge zu Beginn der Wiederbeweidung. Berichte der Bayerischen Botanischen Gesellschaft, 89(), p. 83-104.

Before the onset of a re-grazing experiment vegetation and habitat types of the subalpine pasture Brunnenkopf (Ammergebirge, Bavaria, Germany) were examined and mapped. Vegetation plots with all vascular plants and their cover were recorded for each type. Vegetation types included alpine and subalpi…
