Water and sediment analysis from column experiments

This data set contains data from water analyses from column experiments. The water analyses included cations (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese), anions (nitrate, chloride, sulphate, bromide and phosphate) and selected trace elements (arsenic, cobalt, nickel, vanadium and zinc). The column experiments were conducted with two different types of unconsolidated sandy sediments from aquifers in Denmark (Quaternary) and Germany (Cretaceous). In both sediments, the nitrate degradation capacity was almost exhausted. To induce denitrification, 5 mmol ethanol was added to the column experiments. This also caused a decrease in the concentration of trace elements in the water. A sequential extraction procedure was performed to determine the trace element sinks. The data set therefore also contains contents of selected elements (equal to water analyses) from the sequential extraction procedure of the sediment before and after the column tests. The results observed in the laboratory were additionally modeled with Phreeqc. The Phreeqc input data complete the data set.

Sentinel-5P TROPOMI – Ozone (O3), Level 3 – Global

Ozone vertical column density in Dobson Units as derived from Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI observations. The stratospheric ozone layer protects the biosphere from harmful solar ultraviolet radiation. Ozone in troposphere can pose risks to the health of humans, animals, and vegetation. The TROPOMI instrument aboard the SENTINEL-5P space craft is a nadir-viewing, imaging spectrometer covering wavelength bands between the ultraviolet and the shortwave infra-red. TROPOMI's purpose is to measure atmospheric properties and constituents. It is contributing to monitoring air quality and providing critical information to services and decision makers. The instrument uses passive remote sensing techniques by measuring the Top Of Atmosphere (TOA) solar radiation reflected by and radiated from the earth and its atmosphere. The four spectrometers of TROPOMI cover the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), Near Infra-Red (NIR) and Short Wavelength Infra-Red (SWIR) domains of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing operational retrieval of the following trace gas constituents: Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Methane (CH4). Daily observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid. Within the INPULS project, innovative algorithms and processors for the generation of Level 3 and Level 4 products, improved data discovery and access technologies as well as server-side analytics for the users are developed.

ZFMK Herpetology collection

Currently, the herpetological collection houses more than 100,000 catalogued specimens. Amphibians and reptiles are traditionally combined in the collection, with the latter making up nearly two thirds of the total specimens. The collection includes type specimens of around 650 taxa, among them more than 300 primary types (i.e. holotypes, lectotypes, and neotypes) and 100 syntypes that objectively define a scientific name and are literally irreplaceable. The majority of specimens is wet material preserved in ethanol, but the collection also includes osteological specimens and (sub-)fossils. These figures make the herpetological collection at the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) - Museum Koenig Bonn one of the largest of its kind in Germany and also one of international importance. Correspondingly to their high species diversity, frogs and squamates (lizards and snakes) represent the majority of species. However, members of all major groups of amphibians (salamanders and caecilians) and reptiles (crocodiles, turtles, and tuataras) are found in the collection. There is no explicit geographic focus and specimens are originating not only from Europe, but from more than 200 countries worldwide. Due to the research focus of past curators and students, the at the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) - Museum Koenig Bonn holds remarkable collections from the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Africa, Madagascar, and Brazil. Recent geographical focuses are Southeast Asia, Peru, and the western Palearctic.

Ecosystem functions of rare arable plants - field experiment: Carabidae data

Partly taken from the materials and methods of https://doi.org/10.1016/j.baae.2022.12.003: To compare the activity densities of ground-dwelling predators between treatments with and without RAPs, carabids were sampled using pitfall traps, which were set up after each round of aphid counting (one per plot, twice per year; Brown & Matthews, 2016). The traps (with a volume of 400 ml and a width of 90 mm) were filled with a mixture of water and ethylene glycol (1:1; 120 ml) and dug at ground level into the middle of each plot. The traps were covered with a plastic roof and a metal grid (15 × 15 mm grid size) to avoid overflowing during rain and accidental rodent catches (Császár et al., 2018). The traps were activated for 7 days. Subsequently, all arthropods were transferred into 70% ethanol. Carabids were identified to species according to Hůrka (1996). Carabid feeding behavior was classified according to Homburg et al. (2014). To simplify the dataset, carabid feeding behavior was classified as predominantly granivorous (species mainly feed on seeds and fruits) or as carnivorous/omnivorous, because carnivorous and omnivorous species are potentially feeding on aphids and other non-plant material.

Morphologically identified benthic stomach contents from Solenette (Buglossidium luteum) in the German Bight

This dataset contains morphological stomach content data of the demersal flatfish Buglossidium luteum (solenette) collected at multiple sampling stations in the German Bight. At each station, B. luteum individuals were sampled during daytime using an epibenthic dredge (1 m width, 1 cm mesh size) towed for 5 minutes. Immediately after capture, fish were individually sealed in storage bags and frozen at −80 °C to preserve gut contents. In the laboratory, specimens were transferred to freezers and stored at −28 °C until further processing. Selected fish were defrosted and stomachs were removed and weighed. All prey items were sorted and identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level using a stereomicroscope (Leica MZ12), based on regional identification keys, taxonomic catalogues, expert consultation, and comparisons with fresh reference material. Occasionally, digestion and mastication of individuals resulted in the loss of diagnostic features. In those cases, individuals were determined at a higher taxonomic level. All taxa were quantified in terms of abundance and biomass (wet mass; measured to 0.0001g) within the stomachs, and stored in 70% ethanol. Following analysis, prey items were preserved in 70% ethanol. The stomach content dataset was curated by excluding foraminifera, nematodes, and parasites.

ZMH Ichthyology collection

With its 260,000 catalogued specimens, the ichthyological collection of the LIB at the Hamburg site hosts the largest fish collection of Germany. The collection comprises specimens from more than 8,000 fish species representing about a quarter of all known fish species worldwide. The collection includes more than 3,100 type specimens from about 500 valid species. About 98% of the collection material is stored in 70% ethanol in glass jars or stainless steel tanks. The collection also contains some specimen fractions such as skin preparations, dried skeletons, skulls, jaws, scales and otoliths, as well as DNA samples, photographs, x-rays and related publications. The fish collection is world-wide in coverage and comprises marine, freshwater and diadromous species. Marine fishes are mainly represented by lots from the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent waters, especially from the North and Baltic Seas. The collection comprises also comprehensive material from the deep sea and coral reefs of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The Myctophidae, a marine family of Actinopterygii, comprises more than 4,800 lots, the highest number of catalogued lots of a family in the collection. Elasmobranchii are mainly represented in the collection with the family Rajidae, comprising more than 1,400 lots. Extensive material of freshwater fishes stems from Europe, Asia and Africa as well as from South and Middle America. The majority of the holdings of the fish collection is digitalized.

Entwicklung von grosstechnischen Verfahren zur biologischen Abluftreinigung

Es werden grosstechnische Verfahren zur biologischen Abluftreinigung entwickelt. Je nach Eigenschaft der Luftschadstoffe kommen Biowaescher, Biofilter oder Kombinationen aus beiden zur Anwendung. Hauptmerkmale der Linde-Verfahren sind: Einsatz schadstoffspezifischer Startkulturen, die im Labor geprueft und identifiziert werden. Dadurch werden sehr kurze Anfahrzeiten und hohe Abbauleistung sowie stabile Betriebszustaende erreicht. Die Startkulturen sind hygienisch unbedenklich. Der Einsatz geordneter Traegermaterialien in den Absorbern beziehungsweise Biofiltern bringt viele Vorteile, wie minimalen Druckabfall der Abluft; dadurch geringen Energiebedarf, homogene Durchstroemung mit guter Raumausnutzung, einfaches Befeuchtungs- und Konditionierungssystem zur Betriebsstabilisierung bei hoher Leistung, kompakte Bauweise, hohe Standzeit der Absorberpackung, Moeglichkeit zur Abreinigung der Absorberpackung durch Wasserstrahl oder Spuelen. Hohe Flexibilitaet in der baulichen Gestaltung, zum Beispiel Hochbauweise. Bei Biowaeschern hat sich der Einsatz des Linpor(xp=R)-Traegermaterials bewaehrt. Die Biomasse kann damit zu 90 Prozent im Reaktorteil konzentriert und immobilisiert werden. Dadurch verringert sich der Durchsatz von Mikroorganismen durch den Absorber und die volumetrische Abbauleistung wird um den Faktor vier erhoeht.
