Occurrence of marine litter along abyssal areas of the Gloria Fracture Zone (NE...
Ramalho, S.; Ferreira, T.; Hensen, C.; Terrinha, P.; Schmidt, M.; Sroczynska, K.; Adão, H.Marine litter pollution is a recognized form of anthropogenic disturbance that affects widely the marine environment, particularly near the continental margins, although also present at abyssal and bathyal depths. This study reports the occurrence of marine litter distribution and abundance in four abyssal basins along the Gloria fracture zone in the NE Atlantic. Litter items occurrences were analysed using TV-...
Megafauna communities from abyssal sites along the Gloria Fracture Zone (NE Atl...
Ferreira, T.; Hensen, C.; Terrinha, P.; Schmidt, M.; Muller, T.; Sroczynska, K.; Ramalho, S.; Adão, H.Fracture zones are areas of poorly known abyssal landscapes and benthic faunal communities. During the R/V Meteor M162 cruise several imagery surveys were performed using a TV-CTD guided camera system along four main areas of the Gloria fault system, between the Terceira ridge and the Madeira Tore Rise. Based on these records, we were able to characterize - for the first time - the megafaunal composition, their...
Water use and productivity of poplar and willow in SRC plantations in NE German...
Schmidt, M.; Bohme, T.; Kramer, S.; Rademacher, P.; Murach, D.Fast-growing tree species planted as short rotation coppice (SRC) may provide multiple ecosystem services, particularly in agroforestry systems, such as wind and soil erosion control, soil fertility protection, carbon sequestration, increasing landscape structural richness and biodiversity, on top of supplying a renewable source of biomass and energy. In the federal state of Brandenburg, NE Germany, a large pro...
Shelterbelt of fast growing tree species for mitigation of wind erosion and car...
Schlepphorst, R.; Hartmann, H.; Murach, D.; Schmidt, M.The aim of this project (running 2010–2014) was to investigate the effects of a shelterbelt of fast-growing trees in a short rotation system on an adjacent wind-exposed field in the federal state of Brandenburg in terms of soil erosion protection, carbon sequestration in the soil and increasing landscape structuring and richness, biodiversity and microclimate. Moreover, it should be examined whether the energet...
Co2 efflux, co2 concentration and photosynthetic refixation in stems of Eucalyp...
Cerasoli, Sofia; McGuire, M.A.; Faria, J.; Mourato, Miguel; Schmidt, M.; Pereira, J.S.; Chaves, Maria Manuela; Teskey, R.O.In spite of the importance of respiration in forest carbon budgets, the mechanisms by which physiological factors control stem respiration are unclear. An experiment was set up in a Eucalyptus globulus plantation in central Portugal with monoculture stands of 5-year-old and 10-year-old trees. CO2 efflux from stems under shaded and unshaded conditions, as well as the concentration of CO2 dissolved in sap [CO2 *]...
