Genomics of host and habitat adaption in an entomopathogenic fungus (Project)

Biopesticides based on entomopathogenic fungi are used worldwide for biological control of many insect pests. In a previous study (DST–DAAD collaboration project 2003–2006) we examined differentially expressed genes in the fungus Beauveria bassiana during the infection process of various insect cuticles and identified a subset of genes having a putative role in virulence and pathogenicity....

Effects of transformation processes in 'jubraka' agroforestry systems of the Nuba Mountains, Sudan, on plant diversity and nutrient fluxes (Project)

In the Nuba Mountains, Central Sudan, the recent end of a long-lasting civil war initiated large-scale transformation processes that, among others, affected the traditional agro-ecosystems of this formerly isolated region. Nuba farmers mainly rely on two farming plot types, the 'far farm' for sorghum cultivation and the 'house farm' or homegarden, called 'jubraka', for mixed cultivation of...

DFG Trilateral collaboration Deutschland-Israel-Palestine: 'Biotic and abiotic factor affecting biological soil crust formation and recovery in a semiarid dune ecosystem : Gaza and NW Negev' (Project)

Sandy soils of the arid/semiarid dune fields of the Palestinian Gaza Strip and the Israeli western Negev are extensively covered by biological soil crusts (BSC), which stabilize the surface and prevent desertification. Political discussions in Israel suggest transferring a large part of this sand belt to the Gaza Strip within a final peace accord. Inappropriate land uses may lead to destruction...

Clustered Subsampling of Double Sampling for Stratification and Growth Model Based Updates of Past Forest Inventories (Project)

Double Sampling for Stratification is a sampling design that is widely used for forest and resource inventories worldwide and, particularly, well established for periodic forest inventories of districts in public and private forests in Germany. Spatially clustered subsampling of second-phase units, actually representing a third phase of sampling, can be expected to reduce travelling costs, but...

Uncertainty and the bioeconomics of near-natural silviculture (Project)

Research in 'silviculture' and 'forest economics' very often takes place largely independent from each other. While silviculture predominantly focuses on ecological aspects, forest eco-nomics is sometimes very theoretic. The applied bioeconomic models often lack biological realism. Investigating mixed forests this proposal tries to improve bioeconomic modelling and optimisation under uncertainty....
