Functioning and Management of European Beech Ecosystems


Add your own review!

Overview

This volume compiles the results of long-term observations of site properties and ecosystem processes for three beech forests. Representing a spectrum of common beech forest sites in Central Europe, they receive similar atmospheric inputs and are growing under similar climatic conditions, but differ in their soil acidity. Significant differences were observed in the diversity and activities of fauna and microbes in these soils, which was the major driving variable for the nutrient cycling processes, growth patterns, greenhouse gas emissions and the C and N sequestration in these forests. Differences in N and C contents and cycling among the three beech sites represented three phases (quasi steady state, accumulation and degradation) as described by ecosystem theory on the functioning and historical development of the N dynamic of other 50 European ecosystems. Various implications for the future management of these and similar beech sites are discussed.

<p>Aus den Rezensionen: <p> In diesem Buch werden die Ergebnisse langj hriger Messungen von Standortsbedingungen und kosystemprozessen in drei typischen mitteleuropaischen Buchenw ldern zusammenfassend dargestellt und bewertet. ... Das Werk beschreibt und kombiniert eine gro e Fulle von Daten und Informationen ... Die systematische Aufbereitung und Diskussion ist sehr gelungen und stellt einen wertvollen Beitrag sowohl f r die grundlegende Erforschung von Wald kosystemen als auch die nachhaltige Waldbewirtschaftung dar. Die Lekt re kann deshalb sowohl Wissenschaftlern, fortgeschrittenen Studierenden als auch standorts kologisch interessierten Praktikern empfohlen werden. (Karl-Heinz Feger, in: Forstarchiv, July-August 2010, Vol. 81, Issue 4, S. 189)
