Molecular diffusion is commonly assumed as main physical process of gas transport in soils. However, non-diffusive gas transport processes like the so-called pressure-pumping effect can affect soil gas transport significantly. The pressure-pumping effect has only been detected indirectly and the...

Extreme drought and precipitation are expected to occur more frequently due to climate change, which may influence the water uptake patterns by vegetation in the rocky mountainous area of northern China. In this work, dual stable isotopes were used to detect the water sources of mixed forest of...

Fog is a frequent phenomenon in tropical montane cloud forests (TMCFs). These ecosystems are important to the water supply of adjacent lowland regions which is largely determined by the effect of fog on TCMF evapotranspiration rates and hydrological balance. Understanding fog regimes at...

This study was the first agricultural soil inventory (BZE-LW)carried out to obtain a consistent baseline of SOC-stocks in agricultural soils (n= 3104) across Germany. The SOC-stocks of German agricultural soils at 0-100 cm soil depth were highly variable. Stocks ranged from less than 30 tonnes/ha...

In the face of globalised trade, the inter-continental transportation of pests and pathogens has become a constant risk when buying and selling...

Carbon pricing, which includes carbon tax, emission trading systems and carbon offset mechanisms, is the main economic instrument to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions responsible for global climate change. The academic literature on carbon pricing is rich due to hundreds of studies carried...

Indonesia possesses a vast amount of forest resources. However, this condition has degraded and has triggered ecological and social problems. Many research, especially forest governance research, have been conducted in Indonesia and these have covered wide aspects of forest governance. Research...
