Abstract Channel migration, furcation, and vegetation succession are characteristic processes of braided gravel rivers in Alpine regions. These associated with a frequent turnover large parts the active floodplain. However, more than one century river regulation has reduced or destroyed most these ecosystem dynamics. More recently, there have been attempts to restore at least some sections degraded rivers, while is little monitoring biogeomorphological dynamics such rivers. Thus, we did...
Alpine alluvial fans are important storages in the alpine sediment cascade. It is to be expected that climate change and resulting changes precipitation will have a massive impact on dynamics of fans. In order differentiate between short-term long-term dynamics, we compile dataset quantifying redistribution small mountain river its fan centennial, decadal sub-annual scales. Our comprises historical topographic maps from 1826 1912, 25 sets aerial images collected 1945 2024, 17 high-resolution...
Abstract In arid and semi-arid ecosystems, rainfall temporal distribution shape species communities multi-trophic interactions. Whereas the relationship between climate change-induced decline of precipitation plants is well know, there little knowledge these relationships with consumers, such as arthropods different trophic levels. a 6-year period we studied effects microhabitat conditions on interactions ground-dwelling in an savannah. We analysed seasonal rainfall, plant cover soil texture...
Abstract Background UKA is a well-established treatment option for anteromedial osteoarthritis of the knee, resulting in superior functional outcomes but also higher revision rates than TKA. This study aimed to compare UKA, TKA, converted TKA using identical standard implants and revised support clinical decision-making. Methods In this study, we retrospectively examined 116 patients who underwent 77 received 28 whose was implants, 21 had one-stage The mean age at operation 66.5 years (39–90...
The development of electrode materials for Na-ion batteries has been substantially accelerated recently with respect to application in grid energy storage systems. Specifically, operating aqueous media is considered more promising this due safety issues. Many different types cathode have proposed; however, the number and performance contemporary anode are still insufficient practical deployment. In work, we demonstrate that electrochemically deposited NaxMn[Mn(CN)6] thin films very...
Abstract Braided reaches were common along near‐natural Alpine rivers, and the associated habitat dynamics supported plant animal species specialized on early‐successional stages. The extensive riparian zones could mitigate climate change by absorbing floods retaining water during droughts. Human impacts largely reduced active river corridors through altered discharge construction of dykes, while recent restoration projects aim at increasing dynamics. causes consequences degradation are well...
Worldwide savannas and arid grasslands are mainly used for livestock grazing, providing livelihood to over a billion people. While normally dominated by perennial C4 grasses, these rangelands increasingly affected the massive spread of native, woody legumes. The consequences often repression grass cover productivity, leading reduced carrying capacity. such encroachment plants has been extensively researched, studies on similar processes involving herbaceous species rare. We studied impact...
The characteristic vegetation structure of arid savannas with a dominant layer perennial grass is maintained by the putative competitive superiority C4 grasses. When this balance disturbed weakening grasses or favoring recruitment other species, trees, shrubs, single grass, forb species can increase and initiate sudden dominance shifts. Such shifts involving woody often termed "shrub encroachment", mass spreading so-called increaser have been extensively researched, but studies on similar...
Quantifying the potential of a braided riverscape to be colonized by plant species is essential for assessing ecological state river and provides an important basis nature conservation planning implementation restoration measures. Common connectivity indices are largely unsuitable describing situation mostly wind-dispersed species. Our approach set comparable metrics that allows quantification colonization riverscapes at patch level. We propose cell-based, spatially explicit measures can...
Abstract Microsites created by soil‐disturbing animals are important landscape elements in arid environments. In the Pre‐Namib, dust‐bathing behavior of near‐endemic Hartmann's mountain zebra creates unique rolling pits that persist landscape. However, ecohydrological characteristics and effects those microsites on vegetation organisms higher trophic levels still unknown. our study, we characterized soil grain size composition infiltration properties reference sites recorded arthropod...
In the northern forelands of Alps, farmers report an increase Jacobaea aquatica in production grasslands. Due to its toxicity, species affects grassland productivity and calls for costly control measures. We are investigating extent which management practices or climatic factors responsible how situation will change due climate change. tested effects intensity, fertilization, agri-environmental measures, soil disturbance, modeled occurrence under rcp4.5 rcp8.5 scenarios. The main...
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Neben dem etablierten Doppelschlitten (bikondylärer Kniegelenksersatz [TKA]) hat sich, bei geeigneter Patientenselektion, der Monoschlitten (unikondylärer [UKA]) in operativen Therapie Gonarthrose bewährt. In klinischen Studien zeigt er überlegene funktionelle Ergebnisse geringeren Komplikationsraten. Im Alltag sind diese Vorteile, insbesondere jüngeren, sportlich und beruflich aktiven Patienten gegen den Nachteil einer erhöhten Revisionsrate abzuwiegen. Das...
