Fine root dynamics and resource uptake in a South Ecuadorian mountain rainforest as dependent on elevation
Tropische Bergregenwälder erstrecken sich über große Höhenstufen und sind damit unterschiedlichen klimatischen Bedingungen ausgesetzt. Eine charakteristische Veränderung dieser Ökosysteme ist die Abnahme der oberirdischen und die Zunahme der unterirdischen Biomasse mit ansteigender Meereshöhe. …

Diversity and species composition of two different moth families (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae vs. Geometridae) along a successional gradient in the Ecuadorian Andes
… on diversity and functioning of a tropical mountain rainforest ecosystem. Moths were collected during three field periods in the years 2002 (March to April, October to November) and 2003 (August to October) at the 15 succession sites. Moths were manually sampled by attraction to weak light …

Analysis of flow patterns and flow mechanisms in soils
… forest in southeast Germany, in a tropical mountain rainforest in southern Ecuador and on an agricultural field in southern France. We tested the ability of the risk index to summarise main information obtained in dye tracer studies and characterise flow patterns in different soils. Our …

Soil-Landscape Modelling in an Andean Mountain Forest Region in Southern Ecuador
… as a key soil attribute. Soils in the Andean mountain rainforest area of southern Ecuador are influenced by hillslope processes and landslides in particular. The lack of knowledge on the distribution of soils and especially physical soil properties to understand slope failure, resulted in the …

Biogeochemical Investigations in Old Growth and Disturbed Forest Sites at Mount Kilimanjaro
Areas covered by mountain rainforests in East Africa have important functions as catchment areas for the streams in the savannah. Still, little is known about the biogeochemical processes in these often threatened ecosystems. The current study aims to present basic information on soils and …
