Abstract Water stable isotopes ( 18 O and 2 H) are widely used as ideal tracers to track water through the soil separate evaporation from transpiration. Due technical developments in last two decades, isotope data have become easier collect. Thus, application of methods soils is growing rapidly. Studies that make use often a multidisciplinary character since an interplay processes take place vadose zone has be considered. In this review, we provide overview hydrological alter isotopic...
Soil microbial communities play an important role in forest ecosystem functioning, but how climate change will affect the community composition and consequently bacterial functions is poorly understood. We assessed effects of reduced precipitation with aim simulating realistic future drought conditions for one growing season on its relation to soil properties management. manipulated beech conifer plots managed at different levels intensity three regions across Germany. The reduction...
Abstract. Climate change is expected to impact the water cycle and severely affect precipitation patterns across central Europe in other parts of world, leading more frequent severe droughts. Usually when projecting drought impacts on hydrological systems, it assumed that system properties, like soil remain stable will not be affected by events. To study if this assumption appropriate, we address effects infiltration behavior forest soils using dye tracer experiments six sites three regions...
Abstract. Precipitation patterns across Central Europe are expected to change over the 21st century due climate change. This may reduce water availability during plant-growing season and hence affect performance vitality of forest ecosystems. We established a novel rainfall reduction experiment on nine sites in Germany investigate drought effects soil–forest–understory A realistic, but extreme annual with return period 40 years, which corresponds 2.5% percentile precipitation, was imposed....

Usually, it assumed that system properties, like soil remain stable will not be affected by drought events.

Abstract. Climate change is predicted to severely affect precipitation patterns across central Europe. This may reduce water availability during the plant-growing season and hence performance vitality of forest ecosystems. We established a novel rainfall reduction experiment on nine sites in Germany investigate drought effects soil-forest-understory-ecosystems. A realistic, but extreme annual with return period 40 years, which corresponds 2.5% percentile precipitation, was imposed. At all...
