Schulleistungsuntersuchungen belegen, dass vor allem Sch{\"u}lerinnen der Sekundarstufe I ein deutlich geringeres Interesse an F{\"a}chern der Naturwissenschaften, insbesondere Physik, aufweisen als gleichaltrige Jungen. Aus diesem Grund widmet sich die vorliegende Untersuchung der Frage, ob es bereits am Ende der Grundschulzeit einen geschlechtstypischen Unterschied des Interesses am Fach Physik bei Sch{\"u}lerinnen und Sch{\"u}ler gibt.

This pluralism of actors raises questions as to whether or not these new donors are able to implement projects more or less effectively than their conventional counterparts. In contrast to their predecessors, the new donors have committed themselves to be more pragmatic, innovative and flexible in their development cooperation measures. However, they are also criticized for weakening the function of local civil society and have the reputation of being an intransparent and often controversial alternative to public services. With additional financial resources and their new approach to development, the new donors have been described in the literature as playing a controversial role in transforming development cooperation. This dissertation compares the effectiveness of initiatives by new and conventional donors with regard to the provision of public goods and services to the poor in the water and sanitation sector in India. India is an emerging country but it is experiencing high poverty rates and poor water supply in predominantly rural areas. It lends itself for analyzing this research theme as it is currently being confronted by a large number of actors and approaches that aim to find solutions for these challenges . In the theoretical framework of this dissertation, four governance configurations are derived from the interaction of varying actor types with regard to hierarchical and non-hierarchical steering of their interactions. These four governance configurations differ in decision-making responsibilities, accountability and delegation of tasks or direction of information flow. The assumption on actor relationships and steering is supplemented by possible alternative explanations in the empirical investigation, such as resource availability, the inheritance of structures and institutions from previous projects in a project context, gaining acceptance through beneficiaries (local legitimacy) as a door opener, and asymmetries of power in the project context. Case study evidence from seven projects reveals that the actors' relationship is important for successful project delivery. Additionally, the results show that there is a systematic difference between conventional and new donors. Projects led by conventional donors were consistently more successful, due to an actor relationship that placed the responsibility in the hands of the recipient actors and benefited from the trust and reputation of a long-term cooperation. The trust and reputation of conventional donors always went along with a back-up from federal level and trickled down as reputation also at local level implementation. Furthermore, charismatic leaders, as well as the acquired structures and institutions of predecessor projects, also proved to be a positive influencing factor for successful project implementation. Despite the mixed results of the seven case studies, central recommendations for action can be derived for the various actors involved in development cooperation. For example, new donors could fulfill a supplementary function with conventional donors by developing innovative project approaches through pilot studies and then implementing them as a supplement to the projects of conventional donors on the ground. In return, conventional donors would have to make room the new donors by integrating their approaches into already programs in order to promote donor harmonization. It is also important to identify and occupy niches for activities and to promote harmonization among donors on state and federal sides. The empirical results demonstrate the need for a harmonization strategy of different donor types in order to prevent duplication, over-experimentation and the failure of development programs. A transformation to successful and sustainable development cooperation can only be achieved through more coordination processes and national self-responsibility.}, language = {en} } @techreport{AgarwalBoessenkoolFischeretal.2016, author = {Agarwal, Ankit and Boessenkool, Berry and Fischer, Madlen and Hahn, Irene and K{\"o}hn, Lisei and Laudan, Jonas and Moran, Thomas and {\"O}zt{\"u}rk, Ugur and Riemer, Adrian and R{\"o}zer, Viktor and Sieg, Tobias and Vogel, Kristin and Wendi, Dadiyorto and Bronstert, Axel and Thieken, Annegret}, title = {Die Sturzflut in Braunsbach, Mai 2016}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-394881}, pages = {20}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Im Graduiertenkolleg NatRiskChange der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam und anderen Forschungseinrichtungen werden beobachtete sowie zuk{\"u}nftig m{\"o}gliche Ver{\"a}nderungen von Naturgefahren untersucht.

Impaired motor control has been found to be one of the possible factors related to the development or persistence of LBP. In particularly, motor control strategies seemed to be altered in situations requiring reactive responses of the trunk counteracting sudden external forces. However, muscular responses were mostly assessed in (quasi) static testing situations under simplified laboratory conditions. Comprehensive investigations in motor control strategies during dynamic everyday situations are lacking. The present research project aimed to investigate muscular compensation strategies following unexpected gait perturbations in people with and without LBP. A novel treadmill stumbling protocol was tested for its validity and reliability to provoke muscular reflex responses at the trunk and the lower extremities (study 1). Thereafter, motor control strategies in response to sudden perturbations were compared between people with LBP and asymptomatic controls (CTRL) (study 2). In accordance with more recent concepts of motor adaptation to pain, it was hypothesized that pain may have profound consequences on motor control strategies in LBP. Therefore, it was investigated whether differences in compensation strategies were either consisting of changes local to the painful area at the trunk, or also being present in remote areas such as at the lower extremities. Methods: All investigations were performed on a custom build split-belt treadmill simulating trip-like events by unexpected rapid deceleration impulses (amplitude: 2 m/s; duration: 100 ms; 200 ms after heel contact) at 1m/s baseline velocity. A total number of 5 (study 1) and 15 (study 2) right sided perturbations were applied during walking trials. Muscular activities were assessed by surface electromyography (EMG), recorded at 12 trunk muscles and 10 (study 1) respectively 5 (study 2) leg muscles. EMG latencies of muscle onset [ms] were retrieved by a semi-automatic detection method. EMG amplitudes (root mean square (RMS)) were assessed within 200 ms post perturbation, normalized to full strides prior to any perturbation [RMS\%]. Latency and amplitude investigations were performed for each muscle individually, as well as for pooled data of muscles grouped by location. Characteristic pain intensity scores (CPIS; 0-100 points, von Korff) based on mean intensity ratings reported for current, worst and average pain over the last three months were used to allocate participants into LBP (≥30 points) or CTRL (≤10 points). Test-retest reproducibility between measurements was determined by a compilation of measures of reliability. Differences in muscular activities between LBP and CTRL were analysed descriptively for individual muscles; differences based on grouped muscles were statistically tested by using a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA, α =0.05). Results: Thirteen individuals were included into the analysis of study 1. EMG latencies revealed reflex muscle activities following the perturbation (mean: 89 ms). Respective EMG amplitudes were on average 5-fold of those assessed in unperturbed strides, though being characterized by a high inter-subject variability. Test-retest reliability of muscle latencies showed a high reproducibility, both for muscles at the trunk and legs. In contrast, reproducibility of amplitudes was only weak to moderate for individual muscles, but increased when being assessed as a location specific outcome summary of grouped muscles. Seventy-six individuals were eligible for data analysis in study 2. Group allocation according to CPIS resulted in n=25 for LBP and n=29 for CTRL. Descriptive analysis of activity onsets revealed longer delays for all muscles within LBP compared to CTRL (trunk muscles: mean 10 ms; leg muscles: mean 3 ms). Onset latencies of grouped muscles revealed statistically significant differences between LBP and CTRL for right (p=0.009) and left (p=0.007) abdominal muscle groups. EMG amplitude analysis showed a high variability in activation levels between individuals, independent of group assignment or location. Statistical testing of grouped muscles indicated no significant difference in amplitudes between LBP and CTRL. Discussion: The present research project could show that perturbed treadmill walking is suitable to provoke comprehensive reflex responses at the trunk and lower extremities, both in terms of sudden onsets and amplitudes of reflex activity. Moreover, it could demonstrate that sudden loadings under dynamic conditions provoke an altered reflex timing of muscles surrounding the trunk in people with LBP compared to CTRL. In line with previous investigations, compensation strategies seemed to be deployed in a task specific manner, with differences between LBP and CTRL being evident predominately at ventral sides. No muscular alterations exceeding the trunk could be found when being assessed under the automated task of locomotion. While rehabilitation programs tailored towards LBP are still under debate, it is tempting to urge the implementation of dynamic sudden loading incidents of the trunk to enhance motor control and thereby to improve spinal protection. Moreover, in respect to the consistently observed task specificity of muscular compensation strategies, such a rehabilitation program should be rich in variety.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Intziegianni2016, author = {Intziegianni, Konstantina}, title = {Influence of age and pathology on Achilles tendon properties under functional tasks}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-398732}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {ix, 85, xii}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Prevalence of Achilles tendinopathy increases with age, leading to a weaker tendon with predisposition to rupture. Previous studies, investigating Achilles tendon (AT) properties, are restricted to standardized isometric conditions. Knowledge regarding the influence of age and pa-thology on AT response under functional tasks remains limited. Therefore, the aim of the thesis was to investigate the influence of age and pathology on AT properties during a single-leg vertical jump. Healthy children, asymptomatic adults and patients with Achilles tendinopathy participated. Ultrasonography was used to assess AT-length, AT-cross-sectional area and AT-elongation. The reliability of the methodology used was evaluated both Intra- and inter-rater at rest and at maximal isometric plantar-flexion contraction and was further implemented to investigate tendon properties during functional task. During the functional task a single-leg vertical jump on a force plate was performed while simultaneously AT elongation and vertical ground reaction forces were recorded. AT compliance [mm/N] (elongation/force) and AT strain [\%] (elongation/length) were calculated. Differences between groups were evaluated with respect to age (children vs. adults) and pathology (asymptomatic adults vs. patients). Good to excellent reliability with low levels of variability was achieved in the assessment of AT properties. During the jumps AT elongation was found to be statistical significant higher in children. However, no statistical significant difference was found for force among the groups. AT compliance and strain were found to be statistical significant higher only in children. No significant differences were found between asymptomatic adults and patients with tendinopathy. The methodology used to assess AT properties is reliable, allowing its implementation into further investigations. Higher AT-compliance in children might be considered as a protective factor against load-related injuries. During functional task, when higher forces are acting on the AT, tendinopathy does not result in a weaker tendon.}, language = {en} } @book{Schinck2016, author = {Schinck, Kai Philipp}, title = {Erfolgsfaktor Qualit{\"a}tsmanagement?

This SR-ORC asymmetry is reduced, or even eliminated, when the embedded constituent in the ORC is a pronoun, rather than a lexical noun phrase. The studies included in this thesis were designed to explore under what circumstances the pronoun facilitation occurs; whether all pronouns have the same effect; whether SRs are also affected by embedded pronouns; whether children perform like adults on such structures; and whether performance is related to cognitive abilities such as memory or grammatical knowledge. Several theoretical approaches that explain the pronoun facilitation in relative clauses are evaluated. The experimental data have been collected in three languages-German, Italian and Hebrew-stemming from both children and adults. In the German study (Chapter 2), ORCs with embedded 1st- or 3rd-person pronouns are compared to ORCs with an embedded lexical noun phrase. Eye-movement data from 5-year-old children show that the 1st-person pronoun facilitates processing, but not the 3rd-person pronoun. Moreover, children's performance is modulated by additive effects of their memory and grammatical skills. In the Italian study (Chapter 3), the 1st-person pronoun advantage over the 3rd-person pronoun is tested in ORCs and SRs that display a similar word order. Eye-movement data from 5-year-olds and adult controls and reading times data from adults are pitted against the outcome of a corpus analysis, showing that the 1st-/3rd-person pronoun asymmetry emerges in the two relative clause types to an equal extent. In the Hebrew study (Chapter 4), the goal is to test the effect of a special kind of pronoun-a non-referential arbitrary subject pronoun-on ORC comprehension, in the light of potential confounds in previous studies that used this pronoun. Data from a referent-identification task with 4- to 5-year-olds indicate that, when the experimental material is controlled, the non-referential pronoun does not necessarily facilitate ORC comprehension. Importantly, however, children have even more difficulties when the embedded constituent is a referential pronoun. The non-referentiality / referentiality asymmetry is emphasized by the relation between children's performance on the experimental task and their memory skills. Together, the data presented in this thesis indicate that sentence processing is not only driven by structural (or syntactic) factors, but also by discourse-related ones, like pronouns' referential properties or their discourse accessibility mechanism, which is defined as the level of ease or difficulty with which referents of pronouns are identified and retrieved from the discourse model. Although independent in essence, these structural and discourse factors can in some cases interact in a way that affects sentence processing. Moreover, both types of factors appear to be strongly related to memory. The data also support the idea that, from early on, children are sensitive to the same factors that affect adults' sentence processing, and that the processing strategies of both populations are qualitatively similar. In sum, this thesis suggests that a comprehensive theory of human sentence processing needs to account for effects that are due to both structural and discourse-related factors, which operate as a function of memory capacity.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{KonradSchmolke2016, author = {Konrad-Schmolke, Matthias}, title = {Thermodynamic and geochemical modeling in metamorphic geology}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-101805}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {232}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Quantitative thermodynamic and geochemical modeling is today applied in a variety of geological environments from the petrogenesis of igneous rocks to the oceanic realm. Thermodynamic calculations are used, for example, to get better insight into lithosphere dynamics, to constrain melting processes in crust and mantle as well as to study fluid-rock interaction. The development of thermodynamic databases and computer programs to calculate equilibrium phase diagrams have greatly advanced our ability to model geodynamic processes from subduction to orogenesis. However, a well-known problem is that despite its broad application the use and interpretation of thermodynamic models applied to natural rocks is far from straightforward. For example, chemical disequilibrium and/or unknown rock properties, such as fluid activities, complicate the application of equilibrium thermodynamics. One major aspect of the publications presented in this Habilitationsschrift are new approaches to unravel dynamic and chemical histories of rocks that include applications to chemically open system behaviour. This approach is especially important in rocks that are affected by element fractionation due to fractional crystallisation and fluid loss during dehydration reactions. Furthermore, chemically open system behaviour has also to be considered for studying fluid-rock interaction processes and for extracting information from compositionally zoned metamorphic minerals. In this Habilitationsschrift several publications are presented where I incorporate such open system behaviour in the forward models by incrementing the calculations and considering changing reacting rock compositions during metamorphism. I apply thermodynamic forward modelling incorporating the effects of element fractionation in a variety of geodynamic and geochemical applications in order to better understand lithosphere dynamics and mass transfer in solid rocks. In three of the presented publications I combine thermodynamic forward models with trace element calculations in order to enlarge the application of geochemical numerical forward modeling. In these publications a combination of thermodynamic and trace element forward modeling is used to study and quantify processes in metamorphic petrology at spatial scales from µm to km. In the thermodynamic forward models I utilize Gibbs energy minimization to quantify mineralogical changes along a reaction path of a chemically open fluid/rock system. These results are combined with mass balanced trace element calculations to determine the trace element distribution between rock and melt/fluid during the metamorphic evolution. Thus, effects of mineral reactions, fluid-rock interaction and element transport in metamorphic rocks on the trace element and isotopic composition of minerals, rocks and percolating fluids or melts can be predicted. One of the included publications shows that trace element growth zonations in metamorphic garnet porphyroblasts can be used to get crucial information about the reaction path of the investigated sample. In order to interpret the major and trace element distribution and zoning patterns in terms of the reaction history of the samples, we combined thermodynamic forward models with mass-balance rare earth element calculations. Such combined thermodynamic and mass-balance calculations of the rare earth element distribution among the modelled stable phases yielded characteristic zonation patterns in garnet that closely resemble those in the natural samples. We can show in that paper that garnet growth and trace element incorporation occurred in near thermodynamic equilibrium with matrix phases during subduction and that the rare earth element patterns in garnet exhibit distinct enrichment zones that fingerprint the minerals involved in the garnet-forming reactions. In two of the presented publications I illustrate the capacities of combined thermodynamic-geochemical modeling based on examples relevant to mass transfer in subduction zones. The first example focuses on fluid-rock interaction in and around a blueschist-facies shear zone in felsic gneisses, where fluid-induced mineral reactions and their effects on boron (B) concentrations and isotopic compositions in white mica are modeled. In the second example, fluid release from a subducted slab and associated transport of B and variations in B concentrations and isotopic compositions in liberated fluids and residual rocks are modeled. I show that, combined with experimental data on elemental partitioning and isotopic fractionation, thermodynamic forward modeling unfolds enormous capacities that are far from exhausted. In my publications presented in this Habilitationsschrift I compare the modeled results to geochemical data of natural minerals and rocks and demonstrate that the combination of thermodynamic and geochemical models enables quantification of metamorphic processes and insights into element cycling that would have been unattainable so far.

Detailed information on each range and basin-fill is vital to comprehend the evolution of intracontinental mountain belts and basins. In this dissertation, I have investigated the complex Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the western Tien Shan in Central Asia, which is one of the most active intracontinental ranges in the world. The work presented here combines a broad array of datasets, including thermo- and geochronology, paleoenvironmental interpretations, sediment provenance and subsurface interpretations in order to track changes in tectonic deformation. Most of the identified changes are connected and can be related to regional-scale processes that governed the evolution of the western Tien Shan. The NW-SE trending Talas-Fergana fault (TFF) separates the western from the central Tien Shan and constitutes a world-class example of the influence of preexisting anisotropies on the subsequent structural development of a contractile orogen. While to the east most of ranges and basins have a sub-parallel E-W trend, the triangular-shaped Fergana basin forms a substantial feature in the western Tien Shan morphology with ranges on all three sides. In this thesis, I present 55 new thermochronologic ages (apatite fission track and zircon (U-Th)/He)) used to constrain exhumation histories of several mountain ranges in the western Tien Shan. At the same time, I analyzed the Fergana basin-fill looking for progressive changes in sedimentary paleoenvironments, source areas and stratal geometrical configurations in the subsurface and outcrops. The data presented in this thesis suggests that low cooling rates (<1°C Myr-1), calm depositional environments, and low depositional rates (<10 m Myr-1) were widely distributed across the western Tien Shan, describing a quiescent tectonic period throughout the Paleogene. Increased cooling rates in the late Cenozoic occurred diachronously and with variable magnitudes in different ranges. This rapid cooling stage is interpreted to represent increased erosion caused by active deformation and constrains the onset of Cenozoic deformation in the western Tien Shan. Time-temperature histories derived from the northwestern Tien Shan samples show an increase in cooling rates by ~25 Ma. This event is correlated with a synchronous pulse iv in the South Tien Shan. I suggest that strike-slip motion along the TFF commenced at the Oligo-Miocene boundary, facilitating CCW rotation of the Fergana basin and enabling exhumation of the linked horsetail splays. Higher depositional rates (~150 m Myr-1) in the Oligo-Miocene section (Massaget Fm.) of the Fergana basin suggest synchronous deformation in the surrounding ranges. The central Alai Range also experienced rapid cooling around this time, suggesting that the onset of intramontane basin fragmentation and isolation is coeval. These results point to deformation starting simultaneously in the late Oligocene - early Miocene in geographically distant mountain ranges. I suggest that these early uplifts are controlled by reactivated structures (like the TFF), which are probably the frictionally weakest and most-suitably oriented for accommodating and transferring N-S horizontal shortening along the western Tien Shan. Afterwards, in the late Miocene (~10 Ma), a period of renewed rapid cooling affected the Tien Shan and most mountain ranges and inherited structures started to actively deform. This episode is widely distributed and an increase in exhumation is interpreted in most of the sampled ranges. Moreover, the Pliocene section in the basin subsurface shows the higher depositional rates (>180 m Myr-1) and higher energy facies. The deformation and exhumation increase further contributed to intramontane basin partitioning. Overall, the interpretation is that the Tien Shan and much of Central Asia suffered a global increase in the rate of horizontal crustal shortening. Previously, stress transfer along the rigid Tarim block or Pamir indentation has been proposed to account for Himalayan hinterland deformation. However, the extent of the episode requires a different and broader geodynamic driver.}, language = {en} } @misc{Winst2016, author = {Winst, Silke}, title = {Krolla, Nadine, Erz{\"a}hlen in der Bew{\"a}hrungsprobe.

J{\"u}rgen Habermas at one point sketched a complementary relationship between his own publicly communicative theory of modern society and Plessner's philosophy of nature and human expressivity, and though he then came to doubt this, he later reaffirmed it. Faced with the „life power" in „high capitalism" (Plessner), the ambitions for a public democracy in a pluralistic society have to be broadened from an argumentative focus (Habermas) to include the human condition and the expressive modes of our experience as essentially embodied persons.

Die vorliegende Arbeit umfasst eine Untersuchung der scheinbaren elektrischen Leitf{\"a}higkeit des Bodens (ECa), des Pflanzenwasserzustandes und der Fruchtqualit{\"a}t (zum Beispiel: Fruchtgr{\"o}ße) bei Prunus domestica L. (Pflaume) und Citrus x aurantium, Syn. Citrus paradisi (Grapefruit). Zielsetzungen der vorliegenden Arbeit waren (i) die Charakterisierung der 3D-Verteilung der scheinbaren elektrischen Leitf{\"a}higkeit des Bodens und Variabilit{\"a}t des Pflanzenwasserzustandes; (ii) die Untersuchung der Interaktion zwischen ECa, kumulativer Wassernutzungseffizienz (WUEc) und des crop water stress index (CWSI) bezogen auf die Fruchtqualit{\"a}t sowie (iii) eine M{\"o}glichkeit zur Einteilung von einzelnen B{\"a}umen hinsichtlich der Bew{\"a}sserung. Dazu fanden die Hauptuntersuchungen in der Pflaumenanlage statt. Diese Obstanlage befindet sich in Hanglage (3°) auf pleistoz{\"a}nen und postpleistoz{\"a}nen Substraten in semi-humiden Klima (Potsdam, Deutschland) und umfasst eine Fl{\"a}che von 0,37 ha mit 156 B{\"a}umen der Kultursorte ˈTophit Plusˈ auf der Unterlage Wavit. Die Anlage wurde 2009 mit ein und zwei-j{\"a}hrigen B{\"a}umen in einem Pflanzabstand von 4 m entlang der Bew{\"a}sserung und 5 m zwischen den Reihen angelegt. Dreimal pro Woche wurden die B{\"a}ume mit einer 50 cm {\"u}ber dem Boden installierten Tr{\"o}pfchenbew{\"a}sserung mit 1,6 l pro Baum bew{\"a}ssert. Mit Hilfe geoelektrischer Messungen wurde die scheinbare elektrische Leitf{\"a}higkeit des Oberbodens (0,25 m) mit einem Elektrodenabstand von 0,5 m (4-point light hp) an jedem Baum gemessen. Dadurch wurde die Anlage hinsichtlich ECa r{\"a}umlich charakterisiert. Zus{\"a}tzlich erfolgten Tomographiemessungen zur 3D-Charakterisierung der ECa und punktuell die Beprobung von Bohrlochprofilen bis 1 m Tiefe. Die vegetativen, generativen und Fruchtqualit{\"a}tsdaten wurden an jedem Baum erhoben. Der momentane Pflanzenwasserzustand wurde mit der etablierten Scholander-Methode zur Wasserpotentialanalyse (Scholander Bombe) punktuell und mit Thermalaufnahmen fl{\"a}chendeckend bestimmt. Die Thermalaufnahmen erfolgten mit einer Infrarot-Kamera (ThermaCam SC 500), die auf einem Traktor in 3,3 m H{\"o}he {\"u}ber dem Boden montiert war. Die Thermalaufnahmen (320 x 240 Pixel) der Kronenoberfl{\"a}che wurden mit einem {\"O}ffnungswinkel von 45° und einer geometrischen Aufl{\"o}sung von 6,41 mm x 8,54 mm aufgenommen. Mit Hilfe der Kronentemperatur aus den Thermalbildern und den Temperaturen eines nassen und trockenen Referenzblattes wurde der CWSI berechnet. Es wurde die Anpassung des CWSI f{\"u}r die Messung in semi-humidem Klima erarbeitet, wobei die Erhebung der Referenztemperaturen automatisiert aus den Thermalbildern erfolgte. Die Boniturdaten wurden mit Hilfe eines Varianz-Stabilisierungsverfahrens in eine Normalverteilung transformiert. Die statistischen Analysen sowie die automatisierte Auswertungsroutine erfolgten mit eigenen Skripten in MATLAB® (R2010b sowie R2016a) und einem freien Programm (spatialtoolbox). Die Hot-spot Analysen dienten der Pr{\"u}fung, ob ein beobachtetes Muster statistisch signifikant ist. Evaluiert wurde die Methode mit der etablierten k-mean Analyse. Zum Testen der Hot-spot Analyse wurden ECa, Stammumfang und Ertrag Daten aus einer Grapefruitanlage (Adana, T{\"u}rkei) mit 179 B{\"a}umen auf einem Boden vom Typ Xerofkuvent mit toniger und tonig-lehmiger Textur herangezogen. Die {\"U}berpr{\"u}fung der Interaktion zwischen den kritischen Werten aus den Boden- und Pflanzenwasserzustandsinformationen zu den vegetativen und generativen Pflanzenwachtumsvariablen erfolgte durch die Anwendung der ANOVA und die Ermittlung des Korrelationskoeffizienten. In der Arbeit konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Variabilit{\"a}t der Boden- und Pflanzeninformationen in Obstanlagen auch kleinr{\"a}umig hoch ist. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die r{\"a}umlich gefundenen Muster in den ECa {\"u}ber die Jahre zwischen 2011-2012 (r = 0.88) beziehungsweise 2012-2013 (r = 0.71) stabil geblieben sind. Zum anderen wurde gezeigt, dass eine CWSI-Bestimmung auch im semi-humiden Klima m{\"o}glich ist. Es wurde ein Zusammenhang (r = - 0.65, p < 0.0001) mit der etablierten Methode der Blattwasser-potentialanalyse ermittelt. Die Interaktion zwischen der ECa aus verschiedenen Tiefen und den Pflanzenvariablen ergab einen hoch signifikanten Zusammenhang mit dem Oberboden, in dem das Bew{\"a}sserungswasser zu finden war. Es wurde eine Korrelation zwischen Ertrag und ECatopsoil von r = 0.52 ermittelt. Durch die Anwendung der Hot-spot Analyse konnten Extremwerte in den r{\"a}umlichen Daten ermittelt werden. Diese Extrema dienten zur Einteilung der Zonen in cold-spot, random und hot-spot. Die random Zone weist die h{\"o}chsten Korrelationen zu den Pflanzenvariablen auf. Ferner konnte gezeigt werden, dass bereits im semi-humiden Klima der Pflanzenwasserstatus entscheidend zur Fruchtqualit{\"a}t beitr{\"a}gt. Zusammenfassend l{\"a}sst sich sagen, dass die r{\"a}umliche Variabilit{\"a}t der Fruchtqualit{\"a}t durch die Interaktion von Wassernutzungseffizienz und CWSI sowie in geringerem Maße durch den ECa des Bodens.
