Can the resistance and resilience of trees to drought be increased through thinning to adapt forests to climate change?

Recent and predicted increases in extremely dry and hot summers emphasise the need for silvicultural approaches to increase the drought tolerance of existing forests in the short-term, before adaptation through species changes may be possible. We aim to investigate whether resistance during droughts, as well as the recovery following drought events (resilience), can be increased by allocating more growing space to individual trees through thinning. Thinning increases access of promoted trees to soil stored water, as long as this is available. However, these trees may also be disadvantaged through a higher transpirational surface, or the increased neighbourhood competition by ground vegetation. To assess whether trees with different growing space differ in drought tolerance, tree discs and cores from thinning experiments of Pinus sylvestris and Pseudotsuga menziesii stands will be used to examine transpirational stress and growth reduction during previous droughts as well as their subsequent recovery. Dendroecology and stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen in tree-rings will be used to quantify how assimilation rate and stomatal conductance were altered through thinning. The results will provide crucial information for the development of short-term silvicultural adaptation strategies to adapt forest ecosystems to climate change. In addition, this study will improve our understanding of the relationship between resistance and resilience of trees in relation to extreme stress events.

Environmental Determinants of Microbial Biopolymer Degraders in Agricultural Soil

The structural polysaccharides cellulose and chitin of plants, fungi, and arthropods are major components of organic matter in agricultural soils. These biopolymers are carbon sources of soil microbial communities linked to soil redox processes. Soil aggregates of waterunsaturated soil form natural boundaries of oxic conditions outside and oxygen-limited conditions inside. These biogeochemical interfaces lead to a highly heterogeneous oxygen distribution on a millimetre scale. The effects and mechanisms of the toxicity of herbicides on biopolymer degrading communities in such highly compartmentalized soils have not been resolved. The proposed study is a continuation of a project funded within Priority Program 1315 'Biogeochemical Interfaces in Soil'. The preceding project resolved phylogenetic identities of known and novel prokaryotes linked to cellulose degradation under both oxic and anoxic conditions, and demonstrated that the acidic herbicides Bentazon and MCPA impair microbial processes involved in cellulose degradation. The proposed project will (I) identify chitin-degrading prokaryotes, fungi, and protists that are active in oxic and anoxic microzones, (II) determine the tolerance of various cellulolytic and chitinolytic taxa to Bentazon and MCPA, (III) characterize key chitin-degraders, and (IV) will quantitatively assess oxygen distribution in during biopolymer degradation in an agricultural soil. Central methods will include stable isotope probing, analyses of 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, and chitinase genes, HPLC, GC, and oxygen sensing via analysis of fluorescence dyes.

Tripelelement-Stabilisotopensignaturen zur Untersuchung des atmosphärischen Chlormethanbudgets

Die stratosphärische Ozonschicht absorbiert die UV-C und UV-B Sonnenstrahlung und schützt damit Pflanzen, Tiere und Menschen vor Strahlenschäden. Durch anthropogen emittierte Fluorchlorkohlenwasserstoffe (FCKWs) wird die Ozonschicht abgebaut. Da FCKWs seit dem Montrealer Protokoll stark zurückgegangen sind, werden halogenierte Verbindungen wie Chlormethan (CH3Cl), die aus natürlichen Quellen freigesetzt werden, für den Abbau der Ozonschicht in der Stratosphäre zunehmend relevant. CH3Cl ist das am häufigsten vorkommende chlorhaltige Spurengas in der Erdatmosphäre, das für etwa 17% der durch Chlor katalysierten Ozonzerstörung in der Stratosphäre verantwortlich ist. Daher wird CH3Cl vornehmlich die zukünftigen Gehalte an stratosphärischem Chlor bestimmen. Die aktuellen Schätzungen des globalen CH3Cl-Budgets und die Verteilung der Quellen und Senken sind sehr unsicher. Ein besseres Verständnis des atmosphärischen CH3Cl-Budgets ist daher das Hauptziel dieses Projektes.Die Analyse stabiler Isotopenverhältnisse von Wasserstoff (H), Kohlenstoff (C) und Chlor (Cl) hat sich zu einem wichtigen Werkzeug zur Untersuchung des atmosphärischen CH3Cl-Budgets entwickelt. Das zugrundeliegende Konzept besteht darin, dass das atmosphärische Isotopenverhältnis einer Verbindung wie CH3Cl gleich der Summe der Isotopenflüsse aus allen Quellen angesehen werden kann, korrigiert um den gewichteten durchschnittlichen kinetischen Isotopeneffekt aller Abbauprozesse. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Bedeutung wichtiger Quellen und Senken mit bekannten Isotopensignaturen zu entschlüsseln. Eine Grundvoraussetzung für detaillierte Hochrechnungen des globalen Budgets ist die Bestimmung der durchschnittlichen Isotopenverhältnisse von H, C und Cl des troposphärischen CH3Cl. Aufgrund der relativ geringen Konzentration von atmosphärischem CH3Cl von ~550 ppbv stellt dies eine große messtechnische Herausforderung dar. Daher liegt der Schwerpunkt dieses Antrags auf der erfolgreichen Entwicklung von Dreifachelement-Isotopenmethoden zur genauen Messung von atmosphärischem CH3Cl.Im ersten Schritt wird ein Probenahmesystem für große Luftmengen konstruiert und für die Messungen der stabilen Isotopenverhältnisse von CH3Cl optimiert. Das Probenahmegerät wird zunächst im Labor getestet und dann zum Sammeln von Luftproben an drei verschiedenen Orten eingesetzt: an der Universität Heidelberg, am Hohenpeißenberg und im Schneefernerhaus. Die Probenahmen werden über einen Zeitraum von einem Jahr durchgeführt, um möglichst auch saisonale Schwankungen zu erfassen. Die Isotopenverhältnisse der Proben werden mit modernsten massenspektrometrischen Methoden im Labor gemessen. Die Ergebnisse aller Standorte und Zeitpunkte werden in der Gesamtheit evaluiert, um die durchschnittlichen stabilen H-, C und Cl-Isotopenwerte einschließlich ihrer saisonalen Schwankungen darzustellen. Abschließend werden die Daten hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendbarkeit für komplexe numerische Modelle kritisch diskutiert.

The role of the East Greenland Current in the mid to late Holocene North Atlantic climate variability

Variations in the strength of arctic freshwater export via the East Greenland Current (EGC) can affect thermohaline circulation and the strength of the Subpolar Gyre and, therefore, can modulate the northward heat transport in the North Atlantic Ocean. To assess the role of the EGC in the mid to late Holocene North Atlantic climate variability, its palaeoceanographic history and spatial extent will be studied at three key sites; two sites in the EGC core (Foster Bugt and Nansen Trough) and one site in the Subpolar Front area (SPF; Reykjanes Ridge). For the first time, palaeoceanographic data sets, spanning the last 6000 years, for the EGC core will be produced at a multi-decadal to centennial time scale. A multi-proxy approach, combining foraminifera, diatom, dinoflagellate as well as stable isotope, trace element (Mg/Ca) and IP25 analyses on the same sample set will be performed in close collaboration with national and international project partners. The proposed reconstructions will be linked to marine and terrestrial high-resolution studies from the North Atlantic Drift, the West Greenland Current, the Fram Strait, the Baltic Sea and continental Europe, in order to investigate the timing (in-phase/out-of-phase) of mid to late Holocene climatic oscillations in the different regions. Reconstructing the role of the EGC at high resolution will increase our understanding of trigger mechanisms underlying natural mid to late Holocene climate variability in the North Atlantic region.

The iron-snow regime in Fe-FeS cores: a numerical and experimental approach

In the Earth, the dynamo action is strongly linked to core freezing. There is a solid inner core, the growth of which provides a buoyancy flux that drives the dynamo. The buoyancy in this case derives from a difference in composition between the solid inner core and the fluid outer core. In planetary bodies smaller than the Earth, however, this core differentiation process may differ - Fe may precipitate at the core-mantle boundary (CMB) rather than in the center and may fall as iron snow and initially remelt with greater depth. A chemical stable sedimentation zone develops that comprises with time the entire core - at that time a solid inner core starts to grow. The dynamics of this system is not well understood and also whether it can generate a magnetic field or not. The Jovian moon Ganymede, which shows a present-day magnetic dipole field, is a candidate for which such a scenario has been suggested. We plan to study this Fe-snow regime with both a numerical and experimental approach. In the numerical study, we use a 2D/3D thermo-chemical convection model that considers crystallization and sinking of iron crystals together with the dynamics of the liquid core phase (for the 3D case the influence of the rotation of the Fe snow process is further studied).The numerical calculations will be complemented by two series of experiments: (1) investigations in metal alloys by means of X-ray radioscopy, and (2) measurements in transparent analogues by optical techniques. The experiments will examine typical features of the iron snow regime. On the one hand they will serve as a tool to validate the numerical approach and on the other hand they will yield important insight into sub-processes of the iron snow regime, which cannot be accessed within the numerical approach due to their complexity.

Vertical partitioning and sources of CO2 production and effects of temperature, oxygen and root location within the soil profile on C turnover

For surface soils, the mechanisms controlling soil organic C turnover have been thoroughly investigated. The database on subsoil C dynamics, however, is scarce, although greater than 50 percent of SOC stocks are stored in deeper soil horizons. The transfer of results obtained from surface soil studies to deeper soil horizons is limited, because soil organic matter (SOM) in deeper soil layers is exposed to contrasting environmental conditions (e.g. more constant temperature and moisture regime, higher CO2 and lower O2 concentrations, increasing N and P limitation to C mineralization with soil depth) and differs in composition compared to SOM of the surface layer, which in turn entails differences in its decomposition. For a quantitative analysis of subsoil SOC dynamics, it is necessary to trace the origins of the soil organic compounds and the pathways of their transformations. Since SOM is composed of various C pools which turn over on different time scales, from hours to millennia, bulk measurements do not reflect the response of specific pools to both transient and long-term change and may significantly underestimate CO2 fluxes. More detailed information can be gained from the fractionation of subsoil SOM into different functional pools in combination with the use of stable and radioactive isotopes. Additionally, soil-respired CO2 isotopic signatures can be used to understand the role of environmental factors on the rate of SOM decomposition and the magnitude and source of CO2 fluxes. The aims of this study are to (i) determine CO2 production and subsoil C mineralization in situ, (ii) investigate the vertical distribution and origin of CO2 in the soil profile using 14CO2 and 13CO2 analyses in the Grinderwald, and to (iii) determine the effect of environmental controls (temperature, oxygen) on subsoil C turnover. We hypothesize that in-situ CO2 production in subsoils is mainly controlled by root distribution and activity and that CO2 produced in deeper soil depth derives to a large part from the mineralization of fresh root derived C inputs. Further, we hypothesize that a large part of the subsoil C is potentially degradable, but is mineralized slower compared with the surface soil due to possible temperature or oxygen limitation.

Results of palynological analysis from 2020 of the varved MO-05 core from Lake Mondsee (Austria) section (249-526 cm)

This study reports a precisely dated pollen record with a 20-year resolution from the varved sediments of Lake Mondsee in the north-eastern European Alps (47°49′N, 13°24′E, 481 m above sea level). The analysed part of core spans the interval between 1500 BCE and 500 CE and allows changes in vegetation composition in relation to climatic changes and human activities in the catchment to be inferred. Intervals of distinct but modest human impact are identified at ca. 1450-1220, 740-490 and 340-190 BCE and from 80 BCE to 180 CE. While the first two intervals are synchronous with prominent salt mining phases during the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age at the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hallstatt, the last two intervals fall within the Late Iron Age and Roman Imperial Era, respectively. Comparison with published records of extreme runoff events obtained from the same sediment core shows that human activities (including agriculture and logging) around Lake Mondsee were low during intervals of high flood frequency as indicated by a higher number of intercalated detrital event layers, but intensified during hydrologically stable intervals. Comparison of the pollen percentages of arboreal taxa with the stable oxygen isotope and potassium ion records of the NGRIP and GISP2 ice cores from Greenland reveals significant positive correlations for Fagus and negative correlations for Betula and Alnus. This underlines the sensitivity of vegetation around Lake Mondsee to temperature fluctuations in the North Atlantic as well as to moisture fluctuations controlled by changes in the intensity of the Siberian High and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) regime.
