Metabolic scaling theory (MST) is an attempt to link physiological processes of individual organisms with macroecology. It predicts a power law relationship exponent −4/3 between mean biomass and density during density-dependent mortality (self-thinning). Empirical tests have produced variable results, the validity MST intensely debated. focuses on organisms' internal mechanisms but we hypothesize that ecological interactions can be more important in determining plant mass-density...
Metabolic scaling theory (MST) predicts a ‘universal law’ for plant mass–density relationships, but empirical observations are more variable. Possible explanations of this variability include plasticity in biomass allocation between the above‐ and belowground compartment different modes competition, which can be asymmetric or symmetric. Although complex interactions these factors likely to occur, so far majority modelling studies has focussed on mono‐factorial explanations. We here present...
Abstract Particularly after disturbance events, the early successional colonist Betula pendula Roth is experiencing renewed silvicultural interest with respect to natural regeneration of large disturbed forest areas. In a case study, we therefore studied seed dispersal B. from two adjacent spruce stands storm-felled sites at high altitudes in Thuringian Forest (Germany) over 2-year period. We applied inverse modelling describe distance-dependent distribution using negative exponential kernel...
Current management strategies for European Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests are oriented towards the use of natural regeneration processes. They aim to maintain continuity stand structure by preserving seed-producing and shelter trees at varying densities. Soil scarification techniques may be employed support pine. Our study is based on data from seven sites in German lowlands, where basal areas overstorey varied between 4 21 m2/ha. The soil methods ranged full surface ploughing...
The importance of local forests as places recreation and human well-being depends very much on their visual impact perception. Forest managers, therefore, seek to achieve structural elements or attributes that can be used enhance the aesthetics managed forest ecosystems. following survey was undertaken in Tharandter Saxony (Germany). field interviews were focussed acceptance. statements 53 participants analyse views concerning typical Norway spruce types: with regeneration deciduous tree...
Sorbus aucuparia L. (rowan) and Betula spp. (birch) are the most common of early successional pioneer tree species in central Europe with ability to form a soil seed bank. Little is known about reasons for high variations observed persistence rowan birch seeds. The objective this study was assess buried seeds short-term persistent banks analyse influence burial depth on persistence. An artificial experiment initiated seeds, without pulp, stored at depths 2, 5 10 cm mineral over 2.5 years....
Ecosystem services and continuous cover forests – a silvicultural analysis Current concepts of “Dauerwald” or forestry rely on complex strategies, which are often modified according to site conditions the management objectives forest owners. The preservation continuity provision an adequate structural diversity within ecosystems common underlying principles different forestry. In light uncertainty predicted climatic changes, increased risk disturbances changing demands regarding provided by...
The multiple-use approach to forestry applied in Germany aims combine timber production and habitat management by preserving specific stand structures. We selected four forest types comprising (i) pure oak, (ii) equal oak–pine mixtures, (iii) single tree admixtures of oak pine (iv) pine. analysed the effects composition parameters on species representative larger carabid beetles (Carabus arvensis, C. coriaceus, hortensis, violaceus, Calosoma inquisitor). main statistical methods used were...
Qualea grandiflora Mart. (Vochysiaceae) is one of the most widespread species within cerrado formation, which counts amongst threatened ecosystems worldwide. Understanding regeneration ecology Q. a central requirement for success conservation measures and silvicultural management strategies. Exhaustive investigation was carried out into each development stages, connected processes cycle, to provide better understanding main factors influencing recruitment dynamics species. For this purpose,...
In a region with poor soil fertility, low annual precipitation and large areas of homogenous Pinus sylvestris L. forests, conservation old sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) trees is one option to enrich structure species richness. We studied the affinities Carabus coriaceus, C. violaceus, hortensis arvensis for specific tree resultant intra- interspecific interactions. focused on their temporal spatial distributions. Pitfall traps were used as surface-related capture method grid...
