Spatial distribution of aerosol and meteorological parameters measured during flight SourceFFR_ALADINA_20241016_10 with the UAS ALADINA near Frankfurt airport in October 2024

Exposure to ultrafine aerosol particles (UFPs) can cause adverse effects on human health, local environment and climate. Air traffic is associated with the emission of high numbers of UFPs, which results in increased UFP number concentrations close to airports. So far, the spatial distribution and variability of UFPs is poorly understood in the atmospheric boundary layer. The uncrewed aerial system (UAS) ALADINA (Application of Lightweight Aircraft for Detecting In-situ Aerosols, e.g. Altstädter et al., 2015) was operated close to the largest airport in Germany at Frankfurt airport (FRA) between 11 and 19 October 2024. The dataset provides airborne in-situ observations of the spatial distribution of aerosol particle number concentration with different sizes and meteorological parameters of temperature, humidity, wind, surface temperature and short-wave irradiance, as well as accurate position and orientation of ALADINA. Data are available from 26 measurement flights, comprising a number of 122 vertical profiles between ground and a maximum altitude of 750 m above mean sea level (ASL) and about 70 horizontal legs at different but constant altitude, e.g. in 100 m altitude intervals. Details about the ALADINA measurements will be provided in a publication (Harm-Altstädter et al., in prep.) soon.

Soil texture, soil physicochemical properties and climatic data from the PhytOakmeter plot DGRL_14 (Greifenhagen, Germany)

PhytOakmeter (www.phytoakmeter.de) is a field platform using the Quercus robur oak clone DF159 outplanted since 2010. This platform is used to monitor the impact of climate change and land use management on the "soil - plant - interactor" complex. Sites from PhytOakmeter are located either in forest or grassland habitats and represent a wide range of environmental contexts with specific stressors. All sites are equipped with loggers measuring air and soil temperature and soil humidity. Soil cores have been collected to analyze their chemical and physical characteristic. The DGRL plot in Greifenhagen (Germany) started in 2015 with 11 oak trees outplanted over a 50m x 10m grassland plot. Soil and air temperature were measured since 2018, soil moisture was measured since 2019, and soil chemistry was assessed in the root-affected zone of trees in 2016, 2020 and 2022. Soil porosity and texture were evaluated in 2020.

Arctic PASSION - Polar Monthly Mean Ice Surface Temperature (AP-MMIST) for the time period 1982 to 2024

The Arctic PASSION Polar Monthly Mean IST data set (AP-MMIST) is a combined surface temperature product covering open ocean, marginal ice zone and closed sea ice areas, represented by Sea Surface Temperatures (SST), Marginal Ice Zone Temperatures (MIZT) and sea Ice Surface Temperatures (IST). Beside ocean and sea ice the data set also includes surface temperatures from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. AP-MMIST has been jointly developed and produced by Arctic PASSION WP-1 and the Sea Ice Thematic Assembly Centre (Sea Ice TAC) under the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S - service contract: 2022/C3S2_312b_MOi_SC1). The AP-MMIST is a monthly averaged temperature product based on the C3S daily IST CDR and ICDR level 3 data. The daily mean C3S IST data set is a resampled and averaged daily mean IST product using Global Area Coverage - Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) IST level 2 data as input. The level 2 and 3 CDR and ICDR data records are described in Algorithm Theoretical Baseline Document (Eastwood et al., 2023). The surface temperature retrieval algorithm used to produce the basic level 2 product is a traditional split window algorithm using two Thermal InfraRed (TIR) channels to compensate for atmosphere and angular emissivity dependency. This is described in the Algorithm Theoretical Baseline Document (Eastwood et al., 2023). The level 1 TIR input data set is the full data record from the AVHRR on-board NOAA satellite platforms since 1982, as well as AVHRR records on-board Metop satellites since 2006. The product output format is NetCDF with standard attributes, following CF convention to the degree possible. The monthly data are divided into 2 monthly files, one for each hemisphere, SH and NH.

Air- and soil temperature data from PhytOakmeter plot DPFL_14 (Pfeiffhausen, Germany) from 2019

Soil temperature at 15cm depth and air temperature at 60cm height were collected using HOBO Pro V2 loggers, model U23-004. Two loggers were used. After data visualization, unrealistic values were removed manually for each logger, and mean temperature values were calculated at 30-minute intervals.

Air- and soil temperature data from PhytOakmeter plots DHAL_14 and DHAL_15 (Harsleben, Germany) from 2022

Soil temperature at 15cm depth and air temperature at 60cm height were collected using HOBO Pro V2 loggers, model U23-004. Two loggers were used. After data visualization, unrealistic values were removed manually for each logger, and mean temperature values were calculated at 30-minute intervals.

Einfluss der Vegetationsstruktur auf die Invasibilität von subarktischen Heidesystemen

Der aktuelle Klimawandel hat bereits Auswirkungen auf eine Reihe natürlicher Prozesse (z.B. Walther et al. 2002, Nature 416: 389-395; Walker et al. 2006, PNAS 103: 1342-1346). Ansteigende Temperaturen haben die Phänologie von Arten verändert mit bedeutenden Auswirkungen für komplexe direkte und indirekte Interaktionen zwischen Arten und es gibt deutliche Hinweise auf aktuelle Arealverschiebungen als Reaktion auf Erwärmung (Walther et al. 2002; 2005, P Roy Soc B-Biol Sci 272: 1427-1432). Die Ergebnisse des International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) Forschungsprogramms zu Auswirkungen von Temperaturerhöhung auf die Struktur von Pflanzengemeinschaften deuten an, dass (1) die Produktivität ansteigen wird, (2) der Deckungsgrad toter Pflanzenteile (Streu) und der Deckungsgrad von Zwergsträuchern und Gräsern zunehmen wird, während (3) der Deckungsgrad von Moosen in arktischen Regionen abnehmen wird (Walker et al. 2006). Die für die Zusammensetzung von Pflanzengemeinschaften und die Verbreitungsreale von Arten erwarteten Veränderungen als Folge des Klimawandels hängen von der Invasibilität von Pflanzengemeinschaften ab. Obgleich letztere wiederum unter anderem durch die Vegetationsstruktur (z.B. Deckung, Höhe der Vegetation) bestimmt wird, ist die Bedeutung verschiedener Komponenten der Vegetationsstruktur (Sträucher, Moose, Gräser, Krautige) noch wenig erforscht. Im Lichte der klimainduzierten Veränderungen dieser Komponenten können empirische Studien zur Invasibilität von Pflanzengemeinschaften wichtige Informationen für die realistische Modellierung bezüglich der erwarteten Veränderung der Zusammensetzung von Vegetation und der Verbreitung von Arten liefern. Daher ist es Ziel dieses Projektes die Auswirkungen von Veränderungen verschiedener Komponenten der Vegetationsstruktur (Lebende Pflanzen, Moose, Streu) auf die Etablierung von Keimlingen in einem subarktischen Heidesystem zu analysieren.

Entwicklung einer biologisch abbaubaren Mulchabdeckung für den Pflanzenschutz, Teilvorhaben 2: Entwicklung eines Prototyps

Hauptkomponenten und Entwicklungsschritte des zu optimierenden integrierten Systems (Integrated Plant Management - IPM) sollen folgende sein: a: Entwicklung eines neuartigen biologisch abbaubaren Compoundproduktes aus einem Viskosevlies und einer Beschichtung zum Mulchen (VliesFilm). Beide Bestandteile des VliesFilms sind biobasiert und bestehen zu 100% (Vlies), bzw. 50% (Beschichtung) aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen und sind biologisch abbaubar. Alle Inhaltstoffe (PVOH, Glycerol) der Beschichtung haben eine Lebensmittelzulassung (E-Nummer), stehen aber nicht in Konkurrenz zur Lebensmittelproduktion wie z.B. stärkebasierte Materialien. Der primäre Fokus liegt auf der Entwicklung und Optimierung des VliesFilms aus NaWaRos hinsichtlich der phytosanitären Eigenschaften im Vergleich zu konventionellem Mulchmaterial (PE, 20-25my). Als wichtigste pflanzenbaulichen Faktoren sind hier Wasserverfügbarkeit, Bodentemperatur, und die Unterdrückung von Unkräutern zu nennen. b: Der VliesFilm soll einen Mehrwert gegenüber konventionellen PE-Folien erhalten. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Beschichtungen eingefärbt, um repellente Effekte auf anfliegende Insekten (Modell Blattläuse) zu erreichen. Da diese Maßnahme einen Anflug zwar verringert, aber meist nicht komplett verhindern kann, wird ein regelmäßiges Monitoring vorgenommen, um etwaige interventiven Maßnahmen zu ergreifen. Hieraus folgt dann ein System zum integrierten Pflanzenschutz, um den Einsatz von chemischen Pflanzenschutzmitteln zu minimieren.
