Carbon, water and nutrient dynamics in vascular plant- vs. Sphagnum-dominated bog ecosystems in southern Patagonia

In bog ecosystems, vegetation controls key processes such as the retention of carbon, water and nutrients. In northern hemispherical bogs, a shift from Sphagnum- to vascular plant-dominated vegetation is often traced back to Climate Change and increased anthropogenic nitrogen deposition and coincides with substantially reduced capacities in carbon, water and nutrient retention. In southern Patagonia, bogs dominated by Sphagnum and vascular plants coexist since millennia under similar environmental settings. Thus, South Patagonian bogs may serve as ideal examples for the long-term effect of vascular plant invasion on carbon, water and nutrient balances of bog ecosystems. The contemporary balances of carbon and water of both a bog dominated by Sphagnum and vascular plants are determined by CO2- H2O and CH4 flux measurements and an estimation of lateral water losses as well as losses via dissolved organic and inorganic carbon compounds. The high time resolution of simultaneous eddy covariance measurements of CO2 and H2O in both bog types and the strong interaction between climatic variables and the physiology of bog plants allow for direct comparisons of carbon and water fluxes during cold, warm, dry, wet, cloudy or sunny periods. By the combination with leaf-scale measurements of gas exchange and fluorescence, plant-physiological controls of photosynthesis and transpiration can be identified. Long-term peat accumulation rates will be determined by carbon density and age-depth profiles including a characterization of peat humification characteristics. A reciprocal transplantation experiment with incorporated shading, liming and labeled N addition treatments is conducted to explore driving factors affecting competition between Sphagnum and vascular plants as well as the interactions between CO2-, CH4-, and water fluxes and decisive plant functional traits affecting key processes for carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling. Decomposition rates and driving below ground processes are analyzed with a litter bag field experiment and an incubation experiment in the laboratory.

WISE WFD Reference Spatial Datasets reported under Water Framework Directive 2016

The dataset contains information on the European river basin districts, the river basin district sub-units, the surface water bodies and the groundwater bodies delineated for the 2nd River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) as well as the European monitoring sites used for the assessment of the status of the above mentioned surface water bodies and groundwater bodies. The dataset compiles the available spatial data related to the 2nd RBMPs due in 2016 (hereafter WFD2016). See http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/715 for further information on the WFD2016 reporting.

Quantitative Untersuchungen zur heterotrophen Umsetzung organischer Substrate und der daran beteiligten Bakterienpopulationen und ueber den Einfluss von Abwaessern auf das Plankton in der westlichen Ostsee

Auf- und Abbauprozesse im marinen Oekosystem der westlichen Ostsee unter dem Einfluss von Abwaessern werden untersucht. Die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Blaualgen und heterotrophen Bakterien werden dabei von besonderem Interesse sein. Das Studium dieser Prozesse erfolgt in der westlichen Ostsee und in Fjorden der schwedischen Ostseekueste. An Methoden kommen die Mikroautoradiographic, die Tritium-Tracer Technik sowie die C14-H3-Doppelmarkierung zur Anwendung.

Saisonale Kaeltespeicherung im Erdreich

Zielsetzung: Bereits 1987 wurde in einem Firmengebaeude in Wetzlar erstmals der Erdsondenteil einer erdgekoppelten Waermepumpe als Kaeltespeicher benutzt und direkt zur Kuehlung eines Konferenzraumes im Sommer herangezogen. Nunmehr sollen durch weitere Untersuchungen die Einsatzfaehigkeit und Auslegungskriterien fuer derartige energiesparende Raumkuehlungsanlagen festgestellt werden. Arbeiten und bisherige Ergebnisse: In zwei Gebaeuden (Technorama, Duesseldorf, und Betriebsgebaeude Geotherm, Linden) wird eine Raumkuehlung mit Kaeltespeicherung im Erdreich betrieben. Dabei ist in Linden nur die direkte Kaelterueckgewinnung vorgesehen, waehrend in Duesseldorf zur Deckung des Spitzenbedarfs reversible Waermepumpen zugeschaltet werden koennen. Beide Anlagen haben im Sommer 1991 voll zufriedenstellend gearbeitet. Studien fuer den Einsatz in anderen Gebaeuden liegen vor; fuer die Auslegungsrechnung wurden PC-Programme der Universitaet Lund, Schweden, eingesetzt. In einem eigenen Projekt wurde ein Bericht zum Stand der Technik erstellt.

End biodiversity loss through improved tracking of threatened invertebrates

In today's biodiversity crisis, there is an urgent need to monitor terrestrial and aquatic species in their natural habitats, especially those that may be endangered, invasive or elusive. Traditional species observation methods, based on acoustic or observational surveys are inefficient, costly and time consuming. On the other hand, DNA is continuously deposited in the environment from natural processes and this environmental DNA (eDNA) allows us to detect species and reconstruct their communities with a high level of sensitivity. These data can be used to obtain occurrence records and to collect more population information in field. Crucially, these data are necessary to inform management agencies about the current state of our biodiversity, and are especially urgent for species that are currently data deficient. The aims of this study are to firstly identify occurrence records from diverse sources (databases, literature) and generate a database of distributional data for species of crustacean and mollusks that are data deficient in Sweden. Secondly, we aim to detect threatened species in Swedish marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats using novel genomic methods (DNA metabarcoding, ddPCR). Finally, based on the new data, we will run species distribution and population models, to improve information on geographic range and population status for threatened invertebrates. The results will be integrated into current monitoring programmes (e.g. red-listing) and action plans.

Discursive fragmentation of the international forest regime complex: Towards a better understanding of multi-level forest policy discourses

This subproject aims to analyze the fragmentation of forest policy at both an international and national level for the selected countries, employing a discourse analysis approach. It is split into two sub-subprojects (SSPs). 'SSPa' conducts an analysis of discursive genealogies of forest policy in Germany, Sweden, and the US. 'SSPb' investigates the history of forest related discourses in three global environmental policy processes (UNFF, CBD, and UNFCCC). In doing so, both SSPs follow a three step procedure: In the first work package, relevant literature is reviewed and a theoretical and analytical framework is developed. In the second work package, empirical data (mostly formal and informal policy documents) are gathered and analyzed. In the third work package, emphasis is placed on the role of political 'elites' in the creation of fragmented forest policy discourses at different levels; in-depth interviews with policy stakeholders and experts add another perspective to the analysis in this work package. The project is expected to develop a new understanding not only of the fragmentation of multi-level and multi-sector forest policy discourses, but also of the way in which 'discourse elites' interact with and within these discourses. The results of the work packages will be published in peer reviewed journals and discussed with policy stakeholders and scientists in conferences and workshops.
