In the pedosphere, however, huge spans of Si contents occur mainly caused by Si redistribution in soil profiles and landscapes. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the different pools and fluxes of Si in soils and terrestrial biogeosystems. Weathering and subsequent release of soluble Si may lead to (1) secondarily bound Si in newly formed Al silicates, (2) amorphous silica precipitation on surfaces of other minerals, (3) plant uptake, formation of phytogenic Si, and subsequent retranslocation to soils, (4) translocation within soil profiles and formation of new horizons, or (5) translocation out of soils (desilication). The research carried out hitherto focused on the participation of Si in weathering processes, especially in clay neoformation, buffering mechanisms for acids in soils or chemical denudation of landscapes. There are, however, only few investigations on the characteristics and controls of the low-crystalline, almost pure silica compounds formed during pedogenesis. Further, there is strong demand to improve the knowledge of (micro)biological and rhizosphere processes contributing to Si mobilization, plant uptake, and formation of phytogenic Si in plants, and release due to microbial decomposition. The contribution of the biogenic Si sources to Si redistribution within soil profiles and desilication remains unknown concerning the pools, rates, processes, and driving forces.

Along continuous forest-savanna transects in the Comoe National Park, the change in the amount and composition of non-woody phytomass was investigated from savanna to forest interior. This was correlated with the cover of vegetation strata above, soil depth, and the occurrence of seasonal surface fires. Phytomass mainly consisted of leaf litter in the forests (about 400 g m(-2) at the end of the rainy season, and about 600 g m(-2) at the end of the dry season) and of grasses in the savanna (about 900 g m(-2)). Low grass biomass appeared to be primarily the result of suppression by competing woody species and not of shallow soil. The occurrence of early dry-season fires seemed to be determined mainly by the amount of grass biomass as fuel because fires occurred in almost all savanna plots while forest sites remained unaffected. However, late dry-season fires will encounter higher amounts of leaf litter raising fire probability in forests. Due to the importance of the amount of combustible phytomass, fire probability and intensity might increase with annual precipitation in both savanna and forest}, language = {en} } @article{SeppeltSchroeder2006, author = {Seppelt, Ralf and Schr{\"o}der, Boris}, title = {Pattern and processes of dynamic mosaic landscapes}, series = {Ecological modelling : international journal on ecological modelling and engineering and systems ecolog}, volume = {199}, journal = {Ecological modelling : international journal on ecological modelling and engineering and systems ecolog}, number = {4}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0304-3800}, doi = {10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2006.06.011}, pages = {377 -- 378}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KuehlingMaerkerZehe2006, author = {K{\"u}hling, Matthias and M{\"a}rker, Michael and Zehe, Erwin}, title = {Musterdynamik und Fernerkundung in der D{\"o}beritzer Heide : [Poster]}, editor = {Gzik, Axel and Hochschild, Volker and Schneider, Ingo and Schr{\"o}der, Boris}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-7277}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Mit der politischen Wende in den Staaten des ehemaligen Ostblockes wurde f{\"u}r viele milit{\"a}risch genutzte Fl{\"a}chen ein tiefgreifender Nutzungswandel eingeleitet.

We model on two different scales to analyse in how far downscaling leads to a different set of predictors to describe the realised habitat best. While the models on macroscale (grid of one square kilometre) cover the entire country, we select a set of smaller plots for modelling on territory scale. Whereas ring ouzels occur in altitudes above 1'000 m a.s.l. only, blackbirds occur from the lowlands up to the timber line. The altitudinal range overlap of the two species is up to 400 m. Despite both species coexist on macroscale, a direct niche overlap on territory scale is rare. Small-scale differences in vegetation cover and structure seem to play a dominant role for habitat selection. On macroscale however, we observe a high dependency on climatic variables mainly representing the altitudinal range and the related forest structure preferred by the two species. Applying the models for climate change scenarios, we predict a decline of suitable habitat for the ring ouzel with a simultaneous median altitudinal shift of +440 m until 2070. In contrast, the blackbird is predicted to benefit from higher temperatures and expand its range to higher elevations.}, language = {en} } @article{TietjenHuth2006, author = {Tietjen, Britta and Huth, Andreas}, title = {Modelling dynamics of managed tropical rainforests - An aggregated approach}, series = {Ecological modelling : international journal on ecological modelling and engineering and systems ecolog}, volume = {199}, journal = {Ecological modelling : international journal on ecological modelling and engineering and systems ecolog}, number = {4}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0304-3800}, doi = {10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2005.11.045}, pages = {421 -- 432}, year = {2006}, abstract = {The overuse of rainforests in the last century and its consequences necessitate a rethinking of logging policies. To this end models have been developed to simulate rainforest dynamics and to allow optional management strategies to be evaluated. Parameterisation of presently existing models for a certain site needs a lot of work, thus the parameterisation effort is too high to apply the models to a wide range of rainforests. Hence, in this paper we introduce the simplified model FORREG using the knowledge we have gained from a more complex model, FORMIX3-Q. The FORREG model uses differential equations to determine the volume growth of three successional species groups. Parameterisation is simplified by a genetic algorithm, which determines the required internal model parameters from characteristics of the forest dynamics. The new model is employed to assess the sustainability of various logging policies in terms of yield and damage. Results for three forests are discussed: (1) the tropical lowland rain forest in the Deramakot Forest Reserve, (2) the Lambir National Park in Malaysia and (3) a subtropical forest in Paraguay. Our model reproduces both undisturbed forest dynamics and dynamics of logged forests simulated with FORMIX3-Q very well. However, the resultant volumes of yield and damage differ slightly from those gained by FORMIX3-Q if short logging cycles are simulated. Choosing longer logging cycles leads to a good correspondence of both models. For the Deramakot Forest Reserve different logging cycles are compared and discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

April 2005 wurde per Beschluss des Rektorats der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam das Interdisziplin{\"a}re Zentrum f{\"u}r Musterdynamik und Angewandte Fernerkundung (IMAF) an der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam eingerichtet. Diesem Beschluss gingen knapp zwei Jahre konzeptionelle, organisatorische und administrative Vorarbeiten voraus. Inzwischen ist das IMAF also offiziell gegr{\"u}ndet, der Vorstand wurde „bestellt" (Prof. M. Mutti. Prof. E. Zehe, Prof. A. Bronstert), der Gesch{\"a}ftsf{\"u}hrer bzw. wissenschaftliche Koordinator Dr. M. K{\"u}hling arbeitet in dieser Funktion seit Sommer 2005 und seit kurzem ist auch die 1. Version der Homepage des IMAF (http://www.uni-potsdam.de/imaf/) frei geschaltet. Auch die Infrastruktur des IMAF ist in der Entstehungsphase: B{\"u}ror{\"a}ume sind versprochen (wenn auch noch nicht bezugsfertig) im Haus 13 auf dem Campus Golm der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam und der 1. erfolgreiche Drittmittelantrag erbrachte 8 leistungsf{\"a}hige Tischrechner und einen Server f{\"u}r das IMAF aus EU-Mitteln. Wichtiger als die administrativen und organisatorischen Arbeiten sind aber die inhaltlichen Forstschritte. Hier ist die große Resonanz, die die Gr{\"u}ndung des IMAF sowohl innerhalb als auch außerhalb der Universit{\"a}t gefunden hat, besonders erfreulich. {\"U}ber 30 Angeh{\"o}rige des Zentrums sind inzwischen zu verzeichnen und es gibt bereits eine Reihe von wissenschaftlichen Projektinitiativen und Ideen f{\"u}r dieses Zentrum. Neben den wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten am IMAF ist ein zweites Hauptziel f{\"u}r dieses Zentrum die Entwicklung und der Ausbau eines strukturierten Ausbildungsangebotes f{\"u}r Musterdynamik und angewandte Fernerkundung. Dies sollen gleichermaßen Masterstudenten als auch Doktoranden der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam und der mit ihr assoziierten außeruniversit{\"a}ren Institute nutzen. Zudem werden Kurse und Weiterbildungsveranstaltungen mit nationalen und internationalen Experten angestrebt. Neben diesen positiven Entwicklungen gibt es auch (noch ??) {\"u}ber einige M{\"a}ngel zu berichten: Das Sekretariat ist nach wie vor unbesetzt, die Finanzausstattung des Zentrums ist v{\"o}llig ungen{\"u}gend und die im Konzept f{\"u}r das Zentrum beantragte Wissenschaftlerstelle f{\"u}r Softwareanwendung ist nicht in Sicht. F{\"u}r einen Erfolg des Zentrums ist es unbedingt notwendig, dass sich diese Situation deutlich verbessert!! Forschungsschwerpunkte des IMAF R{\"a}umliche Muster und deren Struktur in der Umwelt R{\"a}umliche Muster sind in vielen naturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen (Hydrologie, {\"O}kologie, Geologie, Biologie, Chemie, Physik) von zentraler Bedeutung. Z.B. bestimmen die r{\"a}umlichen (und zeitlichen) Muster von Bodeneigenschaften und Vegetation in ihrem Zusammenspiel mit den Mustern von Niederschlag und Strahlungsinput maßgeblich den Wasser- und Stoffhaushalt auf unterschiedlichsten Skalen und f{\"u}hren {\"u}ber R{\"u}ckkopplung wiederum zu Ver{\"a}nderungen in Klima, Vegetation und {\"O}kosystemen. Vom kleinr{\"a}umigen Transport von Schadstoffen und von der Hochwasserentstehung bis zur Frage nach den regionalen und globalen Ver{\"a}nderungen von Klima, Vegetation und Landnutzung seien hier nur einige Problemkreise genannt, in denen Muster und Musterdynamik eine zentrale Stellung einnehmen. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus liefert die Betrachtung der zeitlichen Ver{\"a}nderung von r{\"a}umlichen Mustern, in Erg{\"a}nzung zur klassischen Erfassung dynamischer Prozesse in Form von Messungen lokaler zeitlicher {\"A}nderungen, eine v{\"o}llig neue Perspektive auf Dynamik und er{\"o}ffnet damit v{\"o}llig neue wissenschaftliche M{\"o}glichkeiten. Aktuelle und sehr dr{\"a}ngende Fragen innerhalb dieses Forschungsschwerpunktes sind unter anderem: • Analyse der generelle Raumstruktur von Geodaten (Variabilit{\"a}t, Struktur, Konnektivit{\"a}t); • Thematische Verbindungen verschiedener Datenebenen und M{\"o}glichkeiten f{\"u}r deren Assimilation; • M{\"o}glichkeiten und Grenzen des Skalen{\"u}bergangs zwischen verschiedenen r{\"a}umlichen Aufl{\"o}sungen und Informationsquellen; • Ableitung der zeitlichen Dynamik bzw. Entwicklung von großen fl{\"a}chenhaften Datenfeldern. Angewandte Fernerkundung Wie keine andere Technik bietet die Fernerkundung in jeglicher Form (unter anderem Satelliten, flugzeuggetragene Sensoren, Wetterradar und auch geophysikalische Methoden) umfangreiche M{\"o}glichkeiten, r{\"a}umliche Muster und deren zeitliche Ver{\"a}nderungen zu erfassen. Allen Methoden der Fernerkundung gemein ist, dass sie nur indirekte Ergebnisse liefern. Das heißt, es besteht nur ein mittelbarer Zusammenhang zwischen dem beobachteten Signal, meist der Reflektivit{\"a}t oder Emissivit{\"a}t elektromagnetischer Strahlung in verschiedenen Spektralbereichen (optisch oder Radar), und der eigentlich interessierenden Gr{\"o}ße, wie dem Feuchtezustand der Vegetation, der Bodenfeuchte oder Bodenrauhigkeit, der Niederschlagsintensit{\"a}t, dem Zustand der Schneedecke oder der Ausdehnung eines Oberfl{\"a}chenfilms auf Gew{\"a}ssern. Ein Satellitenbild enth{\"a}lt beispielsweise immer die spektrale Signatur des r{\"a}umlichen Musters mehrerer der oben genannten Einflussgr{\"o}ßen, was die Extraktion oder Diskriminierung der eigentlich interessierenden Gr{\"o}ße erschwert. Dieser „vermischte" Charakter der Fernerkundungsdaten bietet aber auch immense Chancen. So lassen sich durch geeignete Interpretationsverfahren aus jedem mit hohem finanziellem und technischem Aufwand erstellten Satellitenbild zahlreiche und im Detail v{\"o}llig unterschiedliche Fragestellungen bearbeiten. Die Extraktion der gew{\"u}nschten Information aus dem Fernerkundungssignal f{\"u}hrt mathematisch gesehen meist auf die L{\"o}sung so genannter inverser, schlecht gestellter Probleme. Somit beinhaltet die interdisziplin{\"a}re Nutzung von Fernerkundung auch ein hohes methodisches Synergiepotential. Durch die heutigen technischen M{\"o}glichkeiten zur Archivierung auch sehr umfangreicher raumbezogener Informationen ist die Bearbeitung zu jedem beliebigen Zeitpunkt nach der Aufnahme m{\"o}glich - zum Beispiel bis entsprechend lange Zeitreihen und/oder geeignete Interpretationsverfahren zur Verf{\"u}gung stehen. Tats{\"a}chlich d{\"u}rfte der weitaus gr{\"o}ßte Teil der raumbezogenen Informationen, die in den bisher erhobenen Fernerkundungsdaten stecken, nur in Ans{\"a}tzen ausgewertet sein. Einer bereits sehr hoch entwickelten technischen Dimension der Fernerkundung steht ein gewisses Defizit im Umfang ihrer Anwendung in den verschiedenen naturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen gegen{\"u}ber. Aktuelle und sehr dr{\"a}ngende Fragen innerhalb dieses Forschungsschwerpunktes sind unter anderem: • Nutzung der r{\"a}umlichen und inhaltlichen Breite von Fernerkundungsinformationen; • Verbindung mit automatisierten, u.a. geophysikalischen Methoden des „ground-truthings"; • Identifizierung der Grenzen bzgl. Repr{\"a}sentanz der Daten (spektral, raum-zeitliche Aufl{\"o}sung); • Verbindung unterschiedlicher Methoden der Fernerkundung und der Geophysik. Dieser Beitrag illustriert die o.g. Fragestellungen anhand einiger Darstellungen aus verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen und erl{\"a}utert 2 Beispiele zu beabsichtigten Forschungsprojekten: • Erfassung und Bedeutung von Boden-Oberfl{\"a}cheneigenschaften auf die Abflussbildung von Landschaften; • Ph{\"a}nomene des Stofftransportes in homogenen vs. heterogenen B{\"o}den.}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Post2006, author = {Post, Joachim}, title = {Integrated process-based simulation of soil carbon dynamics in river basins under present, recent past and future environmental conditions}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-11507}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Soils contain a large amount of carbon (C) that is a critical regulator of the global C budget. Already small changes in the processes governing soil C cycling have the potential to release considerable amounts of CO2, a greenhouse gas (GHG), adding additional radiative forcing to the atmosphere and hence to changing climate. Increased temperatures will probably create a feedback, causing soils to release more GHGs. Furthermore changes in soil C balance impact soil fertility and soil quality, potentially degrading soils and reducing soils function as important resource. Consequently the assessment of soil C dynamics under present, recent past and future environmental conditions is not only of scientific interest and requires an integrated consideration of main factors and processes governing soil C dynamics. To perform this assessment an eco-hydrological modelling tool was used and extended by a process-based description of coupled soil carbon and nitrogen turnover. The extended model aims at delivering sound information on soil C storage changes beside changes in water quality, quantity and vegetation growth under global change impacts in meso- to macro-scale river basins, exemplary demonstrated for a Central European river basin (the Elbe). As a result this study: ▪ Provides information on joint effects of land-use (land cover and land management) and climate changes on croplands soil C balance in the Elbe river basin (Central Europe) presently and in the future. ▪ Evaluates which processes, and at what level of process detail, have to be considered to perform an integrated simulation of soil C dynamics at the meso- to macro-scale and demonstrates the model's capability to simulate these processes compared to observations. ▪ Proposes a process description relating soil C pools and turnover properties to readily measurable quantities. This reduces the number of model parameters, enhances the comparability of model results to observations, and delivers same performance simulating long-term soil C dynamics as other models. ▪ Presents an extensive assessment of the parameter and input data uncertainty and their importance both temporally and spatially on modelling soil C dynamics. For the basin scale assessments it is estimated that croplands in the Elbe basin currently act as a net source of carbon (net annual C flux of 11 g C m-2 yr-1, 1.57 106 tons CO2 yr-1 entire croplands on average). Although this highly depends on the amount of harvest by-products remaining on the field. Future anticipated climate change and observed climate change in the basin already accelerates soil C loss and increases source strengths (additional 3.2 g C m-2 yr-1, 0.48 106 tons CO2 yr-1 entire croplands). But anticipated changes of agro-economic conditions, translating to altered crop share distributions, display stronger effects on soil C storage than climate change. Depending on future use of land expected to fall out of agricultural use in the future (~ 30 \% of croplands area as "surplus" land), the basin either considerably looses soil C and the net annual C flux to the atmosphere increases (surplus used as black fallow) or the basin converts to a net sink of C (sequestering 0.44 106 tons CO2 yr-1 under extensified use as ley-arable) or reacts with decrease in source strength when using bioenergy crops. Bioenergy crops additionally offer a considerable potential for fossil fuel substitution (~37 PJ, 1015 J per year), whereas the basin wide use of harvest by-products for energy generation has to be seen critically although offering an annual energy potential of approximately 125 PJ. Harvest by-products play a central role in soil C reproduction and a percentage between 50 and 80 \% should remain on the fields in order to maintain soil quality and fertility. The established modelling tool allows quantifying climate, land use and major land management impacts on soil C balance.

The concept of multifunctional land use helps merging those two focuses by emphasising on the rule that economic action is per se accompanied by ecological utility: commodity outputs (CO, e.g., yields) are paid for on the market, but non-commodity outputs (NCO, e.g., landscape aesthetics) so far are public goods with no markets. Agricultural production schemes often provided both outputs by joint production, but with technical progress under prevailing economic pressure, joint production increasingly vanishes by decoupling of commodity from non-commodity production. Simultaneously, by public and political awareness of these shortcomings, there appears a societal need or even demand for some non-commodity outputs of land use, which induces a market potential, and thus, shift towards the status of a commodity outputs. An approach is presented to merge both types of output by defining an indicator of social utility (SUMLU): production schemes are considered with respect to social utility of both commodity and non-commodity outputs. Social utility in this sense includes environmental and economic services as long as society expresses a demand for them. For each combination of parameters at specific frame conditions (e.g., soil and climate properties of a landscape) a production possibility curve can reflect trade-offs between commodity and non-commodity outputs. On each production possibility curve a welfare optimum can be identified expressing the highest achievable value of social utility as a trade-off between CO and NCO production. When applying more parameters, a cluster of welfare optimums is generated. Those clusters can be used for assessing production schemes with respect to sustainable land development. Examples of production possibility functions are given on easy applicable parameters (nitrogen leaching versus gross margin) and on more complex ones (biotic integrity). Social utility, thus allows to evaluate sustainability of land development in a cross-sectoral approach with respect to multifunctionality. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

The Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) is a multidisciplinary, multinational research program led by Brazil. The goal of LBA is to understand how the Amazon Basin functions as a regional entity in the earth system and how these functions are changing as a result of ongoing human activity. This compilation of nine papers focuses on a central LBA question in the area of nutrient dynamics and surface water chemistry-how do changes in land use alter fluxes of dissolved and particulate materials from uplands across riparian zones and down the channels of river corridors? These papers cover work conducted in small watersheds on a wide range of topics within the spirit and geographical focus area of LBA: water balance and runoff generation, nutrient transformations in riparian zones and stream channels, carbon fluxes in water moving from land to water and the influence of soils on flowpath structure and stream chemistry. Important new insights can be gained from these and other studies. Forest clearing for pastures results in a decrease in soil hydraulic conductivity that forces water into surficial flowpaths throughout most of the rainy season across wide regions of the Amazon. Riparian zones along small forest streams appear to be very effective in removing nitrate arriving from the uplands, while forest streams take up nitrate at very low rates, allowing them to travel downstream for long distances. Although substantial, the contribution of dissolved organic C (DOC) to the carbon flux from forests to streams appears to be lower than the flux of dissolved inorganic C that is subsequently outgassed as CO2. Remaining key challenges within LBA will be to synthesize existing data sets on river networks, soils, climate, land use and planned infrastructure for the Amazon to develop models capable of predicting hydrologic and biogeochemical fluxes at a variety of scales relevant to the development of strategies for sustainable management of the Amazon's remarkable forest, soil and freshwater resources.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZeheBronstertItzerottetal.2006, author = {Zehe, Erwin and Bronstert, Axel and Itzerott, Sibylle and B{\´a}rdossy, Andr{\´a}s and Ihringer, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Hochwasservorhersage, Großhangbewegungen, Schadstofftransport}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-7128}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Interdisziplin{\"a}res Zentrum f{\"u}r Musterdynamik und Angewandte Fernerkundung Workshop vom 9. - 10.

To this end, we developed a method which allows the observation of microbial degradation on Isoproturon in macropores under field conditions. Study area was the well-investigated Weiherbach catchment (Kraichgau, SW Germany). The topsoil of a 12 m(2) large plot parcel was removed, the parcel was covered with a tent and instrumented with TDR and temperature sensors at two depths. After preliminary investigations to optimize application and sampling techniques, the bottom of 55 earthworm burrows, located at a depth of 80-100cm, was inoculated with Isoproturon. Within an interval of 8 d, soil material from the bottom of 5-6 earthworm burrows was taken into the laboratory and analyzed for the Isoproturon concentration for investigation of the degradation kinetics. Furthermore, the degradation of Isoproturon in the soil matrix, that surrounded the macropores at the field plot, was observed in the laboratory. Microbial degradation of Isoproturon at the bottom of the earthworm burrows was with a DT-50-value of 15.6 d almost as fast as in the topsoil. In the soil matrix that closely surrounded the center of the earthworm burrows, no measurable degradation was observed within 30 d. The clearly slower degradation in the soil matrix may be likely explained by a lower microbial activity that was observed in the surrounding soil matrix. The results give evidence that deterministic modeling of the fate of pesticides once transported into heterogeneous subsoils by preferential flow requires an accuracy of a few centimeters in terms of predicting spatial locations: time scales of microbial degradation in the subsoil drop almost one order of magnitude, in case the herbicides dislocates from the bottom of an earthworm burrow a few centimeter into the surrounding soil matrix.

In particular, ecosystems contribute to set off anthropogenic induced fossil fuel emissions and hence decelerate the rise of the atmospheric CO₂ concentration. However, the future net sink strength of an ecosystem will heavily depend on the response of the individual processes to a changing climate. Understanding the makeup of these processes and their interaction with the environment is, therefore, of major importance to develop long-term climate mitigation strategies. Mathematical models are used to predict the fate of carbon in the soil-plant-atmosphere system under changing environmental conditions. However, the underlying processes giving rise to the net carbon balance of an ecosystem are complex and not entirely understood at the canopy level. Therefore, carbon exchange models are characterised by considerable uncertainty rendering the model-based prediction into the future prone to error. Observations of the carbon exchange at the canopy scale can help learning about the dominant processes and hence contribute to reduce the uncertainty associated with model-based predictions. For this reason, a global network of measurement sites has been established that provides long-term observations of the CO₂ exchange between a canopy and the atmosphere along with micrometeorological conditions. These time series, however, suffer from observation uncertainty that, if not characterised, limits their use in ecosystem studies. The general objective of this work is to develop a modelling methodology that synthesises physical process understanding with the information content in canopy scale data as an attempt to overcome the limitations in both carbon exchange models and observations. Similar hybrid modelling approaches have been successfully applied for signal extraction out of noisy time series in environmental engineering. Here, simple process descriptions are used to identify relationships between the carbon exchange and environmental drivers from noisy data. The functional form of these relationships are not prescribed a priori but rather determined directly from the data, ensuring the model complexity to be commensurate with the observations. Therefore, this data-led analysis results in the identification of the processes dominating carbon exchange at the ecosystem scale as reflected in the data. The description of these processes may then lead to robust carbon exchange models that contribute to a faithful prediction of the ecosystem carbon balance. This work presents a number of studies that make use of the developed data-led modelling approach for the analysis and interpretation of net canopy CO₂ flux observations. Given the limited knowledge about the underlying real system, the evaluation of the derived models with synthetic canopy exchange data is introduced as a standard procedure prior to any real data employment. The derived data-led models prove successful in several different applications. First, the data-based nature of the presented methods makes them particularly useful for replacing missing data in the observed time series. The resulting interpolated CO₂ flux observation series can then be analysed with dynamic modelling techniques, or integrated to coarser temporal resolution series for further use e.g., in model evaluation exercises. However, the noise component in these observations interferes with deterministic flux integration in particular when long time periods are considered. Therefore, a method to characterise the uncertainties in the flux observations that uses a semi-parametric stochastic model is introduced in a second study. As a result, an (uncertain) estimate of the annual net carbon exchange of the observed ecosystem can be inferred directly from a statistically consistent integration of the noisy data. For the forest measurement sites analysed, the relative uncertainty for the annual sum did not exceed 11 percent highlighting the value of the data. Based on the same models, a disaggregation of the net CO₂ flux into carbon assimilation and respiration is presented in a third study that allows for the estimation of annual ecosystem carbon uptake and release. These two components can then be further analysed for their separate response to environmental conditions. Finally, a fourth study demonstrates how the results from data-led analyses can be turned into a simple parametric model that is able to predict the carbon exchange of forest ecosystems. Given the global network of measurements available the derived model can now be tested for generality and transferability to other biomes. In summary, this work particularly highlights the potential of the presented data-led methodologies to identify and describe dominant carbon exchange processes at the canopy level contributing to a better understanding of ecosystem functioning.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Mueller2006, author = {M{\"u}ller, Christoph}, title = {Climate change and global land-use patterns : quantifying the human impact on the terrestrial biosphere}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {XII, 104, XXII S. : graph.

It aims at understanding the complex relationships between ecological processes and landscape patterns, identifying the underlying mechanisms and deriving valid predictions for scenarios of landscape change and its consequences. Today, various studies cope with these tasks through so called "landscape modelling" approaches. They integrate different aspects of heterogeneous and dynamic landscapes and model different driving forces, often using both statistical and process-oriented techniques. We identify two main approaches to deal with the analysis of pattern-process interactions: the first starts with pattern detection, pattern description and pattern analysis, the second with process description, simulation and pattern generation. Focussing on the interplay between these two approaches, landscape analysis and landscape modelling will improve our understanding of pattern-process interactions. The comparison of simulated and observed pattern is a prerequisite for both approaches. Therefore, we identify a set of quantitative, robust, and reproducible methods for the analysis of spatiotemporal patterns that is a starting point for a standard toolbox for ecologists as major future challenge and suggest necessary further methodological developments.
