Das zukünftige Verhalten des Westantarktischen Eisschilds (WAIS) bleibt eines der kritischsten Unbekannten bei globalen Klima- und Meeresspiegelvorhersagen (IPCC, 2014). Vergangene Super-Warmperioden während des Plio- und Pleistozäns könnten als Analoga für Klimaszenarien dienen, die für die kommenden Jahrzehnte und Jahrhunderte vorhergesagt werden. Modellstudien legen nahe, dass Temperaturanomalien während dieser Zeiträume zu einem teilweisen oder vollständigen WAIS-Kollaps führten. Es fehlen jedoch noch eisproximale geologische Beweise solcher möglichen Zusammenbrüche. Während der IODP Exp. 379 konnten wir Bohrkerne von zwei Standorten bergen, die diese Intervalle abdecken. Insbesondere wird die Intensität der Eisentladung (Quantifizierung von Eisschutt; IRD) an 571 Proben untersucht. Ferner werden Indikatoren für die Sedimentherkunft und den möglichen Kollaps an ausgewählten Proben bestimmt, um die ost- und westantarktischen IRD-Quellen (Mineralogie und Ar-Ar-Datierung) zu unterscheiden. Die analytischen Arbeiten für das Projekt werden von studentischen Hilfskräften durchgeführt, die die Möglichkeit haben, Abschlussarbeiten zu verfassen. Die erzeugten Daten werden für die Datenintegration mit IODP-Projektpartnern, die Synthese und die endgültige Veröffentlichung verwendet.
Research question: Agri-environment schemes play an increasingly important role in European CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) to support biodiversity and environment in agricultural landscapes. They have been implemented since 1992 and now cost a yearly 1.7 billion Euro. Still, there is no conclusive evidence that these schemes actually do contribute to the conservation of particularly biodiversity. The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the (cost-) effectiveness of European agri-environment schemes in protecting biodiversity and to determine the primary processes that determine their effectiveness. This project furthermore aims to determine how CAP may be introduced in candidate EU-members without unacceptable loss of biodiversity. It will provide simple guidelines how researchers, governmental authorities may efficiently evaluate agri-environmental measures. Aim: Agri-environment schemes have been used to protect biodiversity and environment in agricultural areas since 1992. Their effectiveness has never been reliably evaluated. This project aims to evaluate the (cost-)effectiveness of agri-environment schemes with respect to biodiversity conservation in five European countries. It will determine the proper scales that have to be addressed for conservation efforts for a range of species groups. It will determine the most important environmental factors that influence the effectiveness of the schemes. Based on this, recommendations will be made how the effectiveness of schemes may be improved and simple guidelines will be produced how ecological effects of agri-environment schemes can be evaluated efficiently by governmental authorities or other institutions. The ecological effects of the introduction of CAP in a candidate EU-member will be investigated to reduce negative side effects of anticipated land-use changes Scientific methods: We will examine the effectiveness of agri-environment schemes by surveying pairs of fields: a field with an agri-environment scheme and a nearby field that is conventionally managed. In five countries, in each country in three areas, and in each area on seven pairs of fields the species richness of birds, plants and three insect groups (pollinators, herbivores, predators) will be determined. Effects of schemes on pollination efficiency and pest control will be examined using indicator communities. Correlative studies will examine the effects of landscape structure, land-use intensity and species pool on the effectiveness of agri-environmental measures. The spatial scale that is relevant to nature conservation efforts will be investigated via the spatial distribution of species groups. The results will be used to formulate recommendations how to improve the effectiveness of agri-environment schemes and to construct a set of simple guidelines how schemes can be evaluated efficiently yet reliably.

In structured soils, the interaction of percolating water and reactive solutes with the soil matrix is mostly restricted to the surfaces of preferential flow paths. Flow paths, i.e., macropores, are formed by worm burrows, decayed root channels, cracks, and inter-aggregate spaces. While biopores are covered by earthworm casts and mucilage or by root residues, aggregates and cracks are often coated by soil organic matter (SOM), oxides, and clay minerals especially in the clay illuviation horizons of Luvisols. The SOM as well as the clay mineral composition and concentration strongly determine the wettability and sorption capacity of the coatings and thus control water and solute movement as well as the mass exchange between the preferential flow paths and the soil matrix. The objective of this proposal is the quantitative description of the small-scale distribution of physicochemical properties of intact structural surfaces and flow path surfaces and of their distribution in the soil volume. Samples of Bt horizons of Luvisols from Loess will be compared with those from glacial till. At intact structural surfaces prepared from soil clods, the spatial distribution (mm-scale) of SOM and clay mineral composition will be characterized with DRIFT (Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform) spectroscopy using a self-developed mapping technique. For samples manually separated from coated surfaces and biopore walls, the contents of organic carbon (Corg) and the cation exchange capacity (CEC) will be analyzed and related to the intensities of specific signals in DRIFT spectra using Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) analysis. The signal intensities of the DRIFT mapping spectra will be used to quantify the spatial distribution of Corg and CEC at these structural surfaces. The DRIFT mapping data will also be used for qualitatively characterizing the small scale distribution of the recalcitrance, humification, and microbial activity of the SOM from structural surfaces. The clay mineral composition of defined surface regions will be characterized by combining DRIFT spectroscopic with X-ray diffractometric analysis of manually separated samples. Subsequently, the spatial distribution of the clay mineral composition at structural surfaces will be determined from the intensities of clay mineral-specific signals in the DRIFT mapping spectra and exemplarily compared to scanning electron microscopic and infrared microscopic analysis of thin sections and thin polished micro-sections. The three-dimensional spatial distribution of the total structural surfaces in the volume of the Bt horizons will be quantified using X-ray computed tomography (CT) analysis of soil cores. The active preferential flow paths will be visualized and quantified by field tracer experiments. These CT and tracer data will be used to transfer the properties of the structural surfaces characterized by DRIFT mapping onto the active preferential flow paths in the Bt horizons.
Mikroorganismen sind im Boden, in kryptogamen Gemeinschaften und in der Atmosphäre von zentraler Bedeutung. Verschiedene Spezies von Bakterien, Pilzen, Flechten und Pollen wurden bereits als Eiskeime, welche eine Eisbildung bei relativ hohen Temperaturen initiieren können, identifiziert, und besonders biologische Bestandteile aus dem Boden sind eine vermutlich bedeutsame Quelle atmosphärischer Eiskeime. Die genauen Quellen biologischer Eiskeime in der Atmosphäre sind jedoch kaum bekannt, obwohl ein potentieller Beitrag dieser, zur Eis- und Niederschlagsbildung mittlerweile von verschiedenen Studien untermauert wird. Aktuelle Untersuchungen verschiedener Boden- und Luftproben zeigen Hinweise, dass verschiedene eisaktive Pilze unterschiedlicher Phyla nicht nur im Boden und in der Luft vorhanden sind, sondern auch häufig in der kultivierbaren Fraktion vorkommen können. Aus diesem Grund befasst sich das vorgeschlagene Projekt mit der Suche nach weiteren bisher unbekannten eisaktiven Mikroorganismen und Bestandteilen aus dem Boden, von Pflanzen und kryptogamen Gemeinschaften und mit der Erforschung ihres Einflusses auf die Eiskeimaktivität des Bodens. Die nötigen Methoden für ein Screening verschiedenster Kulturen z.B. von Cyanobakterien sind in unserem Labor gut etabliert. Zudem sollen die jeweiligen Eiskeime der neu gefundenen eisaktiven Organismen auf molekularer Ebene charakterisiert werden.
This project aims at analysing the influence of competing national and international bureaucracies on the fragmentation of the international forest regime complex (IFRC). Its objectives are: - describing the political dimension of fragmentation of the IFRC programme- explaining the political dimension of fragmentation based on the model of bureaucratic politics- analysing the steering consequences resulting from fragmentation - trans-disciplinary design of solutions for coping with political aspects of fragmentationBuilding on the bureaucratic politics approach these objectives will be pursued by testing the linking hypothesis: Interest and influence of the bureaucracies cause a fragmented programme of the IFRC. This programme supports the goal of profitable timber production but keeps the decision about biodiversity and CO2 sequestration open hindering the effective steering by the IFRC. The project develops an analytical framework consisting of the following independent variables: competing national and competing international bureaucracies, elected politicians, national and international non-state actors and media discourses. The fragmentation of the political programme of the IFRC is the overall dependent variable. This project will analyse the influence of bureaucracies and their coalitions on fragmentation at the international level as well as in national case studies in Sweden, Poland and Germany. The other independent variables will be covered by sub-projects 2, 3 and 4. The findings will be linked to the other political and to the economic and technic-ecological sub projects in order to contribute to the multi-disciplinary description and explanation of fragmentation and its steering consequences.
