Der niederbayerische Kurort Bad Füssing als attraktiver Wohnstandort für Best Ager - Kordel, Stefan (Zeitschrift für Tourismuswissenschaft, 2014)
Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit freizeit- und lebensstilbezogener Migration von Senioren in kurtouristisch geprägte Orte am Beispiel Bad Füssings in Niederbayern. Mit Hilfe problemzentrierter Experteninterviews und bildgestützter narrativer Interviews wurden empirische Daten erhoben, die zeigen, wie Tourismus und Migration verschränkt sind, indem Motive der Wohnsitzverlagerung einerseits von touristischen Erfahrungen beeinflusst und andererseits durch Alltagsaktivitäten reproduziert werden. Weiterhin wird herausgearbeitet, dass soziale Kontakte weit über Geselligkeit hinaus bedeutsam sind und, gerade in Bezug auf aktives und selbstbestimmtes Altern, Aspekte wie Sicherheit und verlässliche soziale Netzwerke einen hohen Stellenwert einnehmen. Zusammengefasst stellt Bad Füssing ein Beispiel dafür dar, wie sich Kurorte durch eine gut ausgebaute medizinische Infrastruktur und ein Umfeld mit verlässlichen sozialen Netzwerken als Wohnorte für Best Ager positionieren können.

Der Wille zur Verantwortung. Transaktionale Anthropologie und Kritik als Mediation - Geiselhart, Klaus (Velbrück Wissenschaft, 2021)
Menschen wollen Verantwortung übernehmen, doch der Verantwortung wohnt ein Paradox inne. Man muss sie übernehmen, obwohl man weiß, dass man niemals alle Eventualitäten der Zukunft wird kontrollierten können. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Unsicherheit bildet jede Person eine individuelle Persönlichkeit aus. Dabei bestimmt sie ein Verhältnis zum eigenen Selbst und zu anderen Menschen. Dieser Prozess lässt sich nur begrenzt steuern, doch lassen sich darin auch Möglichkeiten der menschlichen Handlungsfreiheit bestimmen. Da Persönlichkeiten zwingend individuell sind, sind Gemeinschaften notwendigerweise divers. Sie charakterisieren sich wesentlich durch ihren Umgang mit ihren inneren Andersartigkeiten. Eine infinit diverse Gemeinschaft kann sich nicht über verbindliche Werte definieren, allenfalls in ihrer Art und Weise, wie sie um die Grenzen sozial akzeptablen Verhaltens ringt. Für diese Perspektive ist eine Abkehr von identifizierendem hin zu einem vermittelnden Denken notwendig. Bewegt sich das Denken von »Identitäten« zu »Beziehungen«, dann bedeutet das für die Kritik, dass sie neben dem Imperativ der Reflexion über die eigene Positionalität auch die Notwendigkeit einer verantwortungsvollen Übernahme vermittelnder Überparteilichkeit innerhalb asymmetrischer gesellschaftlicher Beziehungsverhältnisse erkennt. Da Beziehungen immer konkret und situiert sind, reflektiert ein kritischer Personalismus nicht nur strukturelle kategorievermittelte Machtverhältnisse, sondern immer auch konkrete persönlichkeitsinduzierte (Re-) Produktionen sozialer Asymmetrien.<br

Destruction and regeneration of terrestrial, littoral and marine ecosystems on the Island of Guanaja/Honduras seven years after Hurricane Mitch - Vanselow, Kim; Kolb, Melanie; Fickert, Thomas (Erdkunde, 2007)
Hurricane Mitch is considered as one of the strongest Atlantic storms of the past century. Due to its extraordinary quasi-stationary position over three days (27. 10. by 29.10.1998) offshore between the northern coast of Honduras and the Island of Guanaja, this area was struck most violently. The stud), deals with the degree of destruction, the impacts (negative ones as well as positive ones) and the locally different trajectories of regeneration seven years after the disturbance event for the three most important ecosystems on Guanaja: pine forests, mangroves and coral reefs. As a consequence of global warming an increase of hurricane frequency and intensity is predicted by some climate models for the Caribbean, making a better understanding of hurricane effects on these sensitive ecosystems of particular interest.

Detecting abrupt change in land cover in the eastern Hindu Kush region using Landsat time series (1988-2020) - Khan, Saeed A.; Vanselow, Kim; Sass, Oliver; Samimi, Cyrus (Journal of Mountain Science, 2022)
Land cover change in the semi-arid environment of the eastern Hindu Kush region is driven by anthropogenic activities and environmental change impacts. Natural hazards, such as floods presumably influenced by climatic change, cause abrupt change of land cover. So far, little research has been conducted to investigate the spatiotemporal aspects of this abrupt change in the valleys. In order to explore the abrupt change in land cover and floods as its possible drivers in the eastern Hindu Kush, a semi-arid mountain region characterized by complex terrain, vegetation variation, and precipitation seasonality, we analyzed long-term Landsat image time series from 1988 to 2020 using Breaks For Additive Seasonal and Trend (BFAST). Overall, BFAST effectively detected abrupt change by using Landsat-derived Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI). The results of our study indicate that approximately 95% of the study area experienced at least one abrupt change during 1988-2020. The years 1991, 1995, 1998, 2007, and 2016 were detected as the peak years, with the peaks occurring in different seasons. The annual trend of abrupt change is decreasing for the study area. The seasonality of abrupt change at the catchment level shows an increasing trend in the spring season for the southern catchments of Panjkora and Swat. The spatial distribution patterns show that abrupt change is primarily concentrated in the floodplains indicating that flooding is the primary driver of the land cover change in the region. We also demonstrated the accurate detection of past flood events (2015) based on the two case examples of Ayun, Rumbur, and Kalash valleys. The detection of the flood events was verified by fieldwork and historical high-resolution Google Earth imagery. Finally, our study provides an example of applying Landsat time series in a dry mountain region to detect abrupt changes in land cover and analyze impact of natural hazards such as floods.

Determinants of farmers' tree-planting investment decisions as a degraded landscape management strategy in the central highlands of Ethiopia - Gessesse, Berhan; Bewket, Woldeamlak; Bräuning, Achim (Solid Earth, 2016)
Land degradation due to lack of sustainable land management practices is one of the critical challenges in many developing countries including Ethiopia. This study explored the major determinants of farm-level tree-planting decisions as a land management strategy in a typical farming and degraded landscape of the Modjo watershed, Ethiopia. The main data were generated from household surveys and analysed using descriptive statistics and a binary logistic regression model. The model significantly predicted farmers' tree-planting decisions (χ2 =  37.29, df  =  15, P < 0.001). Besides, the computed significant value of the model revealed that all the considered predictor variables jointly influenced the farmers' decisions to plant trees as a land management strategy. The findings of the study demonstrated that the adoption of tree-growing decisions by local land users was a function of a wide range of biophysical, institutional, socioeconomic and household-level factors. In this regard, the likelihood of household size, productive labour force availability, the disparity of schooling age, level of perception of the process of deforestation and the current land tenure system had a critical influence on tree-growing investment decisions in the study watershed. Eventually, the processes of land-use conversion and land degradation were serious, which in turn have had adverse effects on agricultural productivity, local food security and poverty trap nexus. Hence, the study recommended that devising and implementing sustainable land management policy options would enhance ecological restoration and livelihood sustainability in the study watershed.

Development and validation of the global map of irrigation areas. - Siebert, Stefan; Döll, Petra; Hoogeveen, Jippe; Faurès, Jean Marc; Feick, Sebastian; et al. (Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2005)
A new version of a digital global map of irrigation areas was developed by combining irrigation statistics for 10825 sub-national statistical units and geo-spatial information on the location and extent of irrigation schemes. The map shows the percentage of each 5 arc minute by 5 arc minute cell that was equipped for irrigation around the year 2000. It is thus an important data set for global studies related to water and land use. This paper describes the data set and the mapping methodology and gives, for the first time, an estimate of the map quality at the scale of countries, world regions and the globe. Two indicators of map quality were developed for this purpose, and the map was compared to irrigated areas as derived from two remote sensing based global land cover inventories. © 2005 Author(s).

Development, distribution and palaeoenvironmental significance of terrestrial carbonates in the Petra region, southern Jordan - Abu-Jaber, Nizar; Rambeau, Claire; Hamarneh, Catreena; Lucke, Bernhard; Inglis, Robyn; Alqudah, Mohammad (Quaternary international, 2020)
Terrestrial carbonate deposits are common in both natural and human-modified landscapes in Petra and its surroundings. Three broad genetic categories are recognized: cementations of pre-existing clastics (veins, crusts, cemented cobbles); free-water deposits (Massive Laminated Deposits (MLD), rhizoliths, carbonate blisters, coatings on archaeological water delivery systems), and pedogenic deposits (nodules, calcrete). The oxygen isotopic composition of carbonates suggests mainly precipitation from stored water that reflects the weighted isotopic average of rainfall in the area. Oxygen and carbon isotope data indicate that a combination of evaporation and CO2 degassing are the mechanisms for precipitation, depending on the setting and climate at the time of deposition. Strontium isotopes of carbonates point to an aeolian source (from adjacent sources) for the calcium. The cementations of pre-existing clasts are both markers of previous base levels in the case of cemented cobbles, and the presence of soil above impermeable bedrock in the case of crusts and veins. These types of deposits help to discover previously terraced sites. The open water deposits reflect humid Pleistocene conditions, and their presence inform on the extent and distribution of water resources that may have been available in the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene.

Development of dendrochronology and its track in China since 1990 reflected by bibliometric analysis - Feng, Xiaoyu; Zhu, Haifeng; Liang, Eryuan; Grießinger, Jussi; Zhu, Xiaolong; Bräuning, Achim (Dendrochronologia, 2024)
Dendrochronology is a discipline that uses tree rings to study the history and dynamics of the earth system, such as climate change, natural disasters, and human activities. This study aims to evaluate the development of dendrochronology and its track in China from 1990 to 2022 using a bibliometric analysis approach. We screened the Web of Science Core Collection for documents related to dendrochronology and analyzed them according to indicators related to production, cooperation, citation, and keywords. Our study revealed that the number of dendrochronological publications increased continuously, reaching more than 800 in 2021, with the USA and China being the top two countries. The cooperation network of dendrochronology was mainly centered between North America and Europe, with China having a moderate level of collaboration with other countries and regions like the USA and Canada. Comprehensive research has been conducted within diverse fields of dendrochronology in the world and in China, but dendrochronological research focusing on forestry and climatology represented a slightly higher proportion of research originating from China. The integration of dendrochronology with other disciplines and techniques, such as remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and modeling, may be hotspots in future research, as indicated by the increasing co-occurrence analysis of keywords in the most recent years. This study suggests that Chinese Dendrochronology still requires improved international collaboration, diversified research topics beyond climate reconstructions, and more emphasis on tree-ring methods to advance this discipline globally, despite of increasing rank of publications in the past decade.

Die Bedeutung von Natur im Alltag von Residenztouristen in Spanien - Kordel, Stefan (Naturtourismus - Chancen und Herausforderungen, 2016)
Während einschlägige Definitionen von Naturtourismus Natur als Motiv für touristische Aufenthalte begreifen, bei denen das Erleben von Natur im Mittelpunkt steht, zielt der Beitrag darauf ab, Konstruktionen von Natur durch Praktiken am Beispiel deutscher Residenztouristen in Spanien zu diskutieren. Zentrale Fragen lauten: Welche Narrative von Natur artikulieren sie in ihrem Lebensalltag in Spanien? Wie und unter welchen Umständen wird Natur konstruiert? Wie kann Naturtourismus vor dem Hintergrund eines sozialkonstruktivistischen Verständnisses von Natur und komplexer touristischer Mobilitäten anders gedacht werden? Die Ergebnisse basieren auf empirischen Studien, die zwischen 2010 und 2015 mit temporär und permanent lebenden Deutschen  an der Costa del Sol und der Costa Blanca mithilfe narrativ-biographischer Interviews, teilweise unterstützt durch Fotografien, durchgeführt wurden. Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Natur bereits bei der Wahl des Wohnstandortes Bedeutung hat und ein Blick vom Ferienhaus in die scheinbar unberührte Natur ein verbreitetes Narrativ darstellt. Andererseits gefährden Residenztouristen selbst diese Idylle durch massive Bautätigkeiten, teilweise in Schutzgebieten. Der Konsum von Natur im Alltag wird in Praktiken wie Wandern zu symbolisch bedeutsamen Orten ausgedrückt. Oftmals dient Natur dabei jedoch ausschließlich als Kulisse für andere Erlebnisse, wie Geselligkeit. Brüche zwischen Repräsentation und Alltagsrealitäten zeigen sich schließlich in einem unterschiedlichen Verständnis von Naturschutz. Zusammenfassend deutet der Beitrag erstens an, wie sich Forschungen zu Naturtourismus von einem überholten Container-Raumverständnis emanzipieren können und stattdessen Repräsentationen und Praktiken in den Fokus nehmen sollten. Zweitens zeigt sich, dass Naturtourismus vor dem Hintergrund komplexer touristischer Mobilitäten anders gedacht werden kann.

Die Debatten um neue Stromtrassen als Symptomkonflikte der Energiewende - Schmitt, Thomas (Geographische Rundschau, 2016)
Due to the nuclear phase-out and the expansion of renewable energies, new power lines are being planned in Germany. In 2014 quarrels and debates arose over the planning of high-voltage co-current lines. Critics described the projects as oversized, and complained about how cultural landscapes would be spoiled by the overhead lines. In reaction to political pressure from the regions concerned, the federal government decided that all new direct current lines should be laid underground, which is much more expensive but avoids negative impacts on cultural landscapes. The article discusses whether the concepts of nimbyism (‘not in my back yard’) and Wutbürger (‘enraged citizens’) are adequate for explaining conflicts over energy infrastructure plans.

Die Grounded Theory in der Geographie. Ein möglicher Weg zu Empirie und Theoriebildung nach dem Cultural Turn - Geiselhart, Klaus; Park, Martina; Orlowski, Benedikt Marko; Schlatter, Fabian (Berichte zur Deutschen Landeskunde, 2012)
Apparently, epistemological realism has been largely overcome in the course of the cultural turn. Yet the essential problem of dualism between theory and practice remains. Grounded Theory research directly aims at this problem. Nevertheless, this research style has not yet been incorporated substantially into the academic field of Human Geography, although it is more popular in other social sciences. Especially for Geography which is a deeply empirical discipline there is a necessity for reflected and integrated methodologies. In this article we will outline the basic concepts of Grounded Theory Methodology. Based on these outlines we will point out some problems researchers might face, but also show benefits and implications. We argue that the Grounded Theory Methodology can be one important way of bridging the gap between theory and practice and that it can give an additional value to geographic research after the Cultural Turn.

Die Konfigurierung von „Islam“ in Integrationspolitiken deutscher Großstädte - Glasze, Georg; Winkler, Jan (Geographische Zeitschrift, 2020)
Die Studie fragt nach dem bislang kaum erforschten Umgang mit „Islam“ innerhalb kommunaler Integrationspolitiken in Deutschland. Auf der Basis von Expert*inneninterviews in mehr als 50 Großstädten rekonstruieren wir, wie „Islam“ und „Muslim*innen“ dabei imaginiert, adressiert, aktiviert und so immer auch in einem Foucault’schen Sinne regiert werden. Wir zeigen, dass in zahlreichen Städten ein interreligiös gefasster „Dialog mit Muslim*innen“ etabliert wurde, der auf die Ausgestaltung intensiver persönlicher (Vertrauens-)Beziehungen und lokaler Arrangements der Begegnung abzielt sowie spezifische Muster der In- und Exklusion (re-)produziert.<br

Diet and species-specific oxygen isotope relationship and isotope spacing between structural carbonate and phosphate in archaeological mammalian bones - Goehring, Andrea; Von Carnap-Bornheim, Claus; Hilberg, Volker; Mayr, Christoph; Grupe, Gisela (Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2019)
Stable oxygen isotopes of bone structural carbonate (δ 18 O carbonate ) and phosphate (δ 18 O phosphate ) are frequently used for paleoclimatological and paleoenvironmental studies. In several studies, the more conveniently measureable δ 18 O carbonate values are measured, and δ 18 O phosphate values are approximated according to published regressions. We studied a variety of individuals (n = 101) of different wild and domesticated mammal species (n = 19) from the Viking Haithabu and medieval Schleswig sites in Northern Germany and demonstrated that a generalized relationship between δ 18 O carbonate and δ 18 O phosphate with a fixed value for oxygen isotope spacing (Δδ 18 O) is potentially error-prone. The Δδ 18 O values of our data set differ considerably from the commonly applied, fixed value of about 9 ‰ with values ranging from 3.8 to 8.1 ‰ (μ = 6.1 ‰ ± 0.9 ‰). Statistically significant differences in the Δδ 18 O values and marked differences in linear models established for the relationship between δ 18 O carbonate and δ 18 O phosphate are related to species-specific diet and physiology. Therefore, such species-specific particularities must not be neglected. We conclude that this variability does no longer permit an approximation of oxygen isotope values of bone phosphate from carbonate, because δ 18 O phosphate values approximated in such a way are highly error-prone. Parallel analyses of both δ 18 O carbonate and δ 18 O phosphate values are therefore indispensable.

Differences between recent and historical records of upper species limits in the northern European Alps - Schmidtlein, Sebastian; Faude, Ulrike; Rössler, Ole; Feilhauer, Hannes; Ewald, Jörg; Meyn, Andrea; Schmidt, Johannes (Erdkunde, 2013)
Are there differences in historical and recent upper range limits of vascular plants and are such differences more pronounced in individual species groups? The limits of 1103 plants of the Northern Alps are compared to range limits in the mid-19 century. The comparison is based on two surveys. The first survey was conducted by Otto Sendtner in 1848-1853, the second in 1991-2008 during a habitat inventory. To our knowledge this is the first comparative studies reaching back to the end of the "Little Ice Age" and comprising an almost entire regional flora covering the complete range of habitats. During the recent survey, most species were found at higher elevations. Even though the differences ft well with the expected shifts due to climate warming we cannot exclude effects of sampling bias. However, we assume that the relative differences between species groups can be safely interpreted. The differences in upper limits between both surveys were significantly larger among forest species. The most important reason is probably discontinued pasture and mowing, which may have amplified possible warming effects. Nitrogen deposits may have contributed to this effect by placing competitive species in a more advantageous position.

Differences in mobility and dispersal capacity determine body size clines in two common alpine-tundra arthropods - Beckers, Niklas; Hein, Nils; Anneser, Alessa; Vanselow, Kim; Löffler, Jörg (Insects, 2020)
The Arctic is projected to be severely impacted by changes in temperature and precipitation. Species react to these changes by shifts in ranges, phenology, and body size. In ectotherms, the patterns of body size clines and their underlying mechanisms are often hard to untangle. Mountains provide a space-for-time substitute to study these shifts along multiple spatial gradients. As such, mobility and dispersal capacity might conceal reactions with elevation. We test this influence on body size clines by comparing two common arthropods of the alpine tundra. We find that high mobility in the lycosid spider Pardosa palustris blurs elevational effects. Partially low mobility at least during development makes the carabid beetle Amara alpina more susceptible to elevational effects. Specific life-history mechanisms, such as brood care in lycosid spiders and holometabolic development in carabid beetles, are the possible cause.

Digitale Geographien - Glasze, Georg (Datenflut, 2017)
Ein großer Teil der vielfach als Big Data bezeichneten ‚Datenflut‘ verweist in der einen oder anderen Form auf eine räumliche Situation auf der Erde, das heißt diese (Geo‐)Daten haben eine geographische Referenz – sind also big geospatial data. Teilweise wurde und wird mit Big Data die Erwartung verknüpft, dass die ungeheuren Mengen an Daten soziale und räumliche Wirklichkeiten abbilden und unmittelbar für die Analyse zugänglich machen. In diesem Beitrag wird eine solche Perspektive als naiv zurückgewiesen: Ansätze der critical data studies weisen darauf hin, dass Daten immer in spezifischen sozio‐technischen Kontexten produziert werden und daher immer selektiv sind. Bereits am Beispiel der traditionellen Kartographie haben die Arbeiten der Kritischen Kartographie gezeigt, dass geographische Informationen immer von den sozio‐technischen Kontexten geprägt sind, in denen sie hergestellt werden. Im Mittelpunkt des Beitrags steht dann die Frage, wie die mit dem Boom an Geodaten einhergehenden sozio‐technischen Transformationen es beeinflussen, welche Bilder wir uns von der Welt machen (digitale Kartographien), und letztlich auch, wie wir in der Welt leben (digitale Geographien

Digital geo-data traces - new challenges for geographic education - Glasze, Georg; Michel, Boris; Höhnle, Steffen; Uphues, Rainer (International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2013)
Young people in modern societies consciously (e.g. Facebook) or unconsciously (e.g. some Google services) produce a vast amount of geodata. Using relational databases, private companies are capable of creating very precise profiles of the individual user and his/her spatial practices from this data. This almost inevitably prompts questions regarding data protection and privacy issues. In this paper, a conceptual approach is presented on how students can develop competencies regarding their personal geodata management and which challenges this subject matter implies for research in geographic education. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

Discourse analysis in German-language human geography: integrating theory and method - Glasze, Georg; Mattissek, Annika (Social and Cultural Geography, 2014)
In the context of various conceptual turns in German-language human geography over the past decades (e.g., linguistic, cultural, and material turns), which have been adopted largely via writings from English-language human geography, theoretical perspectives in these two academic communities have been converging. However, there are still aspects that are quite distinctive for debates in the German-language context. We argue that, for example, in the case of poststructuralist approaches, a distinct development has taken place, which emphasizes the links between theoretical, methodological, and methods-oriented empirical research, e.g., through the operationalization of linguistic methods. Following Michel Foucault's notion of ‘discourse’, these empirical analyses are often referred to as ‘discourse analyses’. This paper gives an overview of the field of discourse analysis in German-language human geography and discusses possible reasons for the different ways in which discourse theories have been emerged and developed in English-language and German-language geography. We argue that there are three developments which make ‘discourse analyses’ in the German context distinct: (1) the significance of theoretical debates on the role of the subject, (2) the intensive interdisciplinary networks within the wider context of German-language social sciences and linguistics, and (3) closely related to the second point, the strong emphasis on questions of methodical implementatio

Discrimination and characterization of management systems in semi-arid rangelands of South Africa using RapidEye time series - Brüser, Katharina; Feilhauer, Hannes; Linstädter, Anja; Schellberg, Jürgen; Oomen, Roelof; Ruppert, Jan; Ewert, Frank (International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2014)
In South African grasslands, rangeland management is strongly related to land tenure. Communal farms are reported to exhibit less desirable vegetation conditions for livestock than commercial farms. Time series of high spatial and temporal resolution imagery may be useful for improved evaluation of these rangelands as they provide information at a spatial scale similar to the typical scale of field assessments and may thus overcome the limited spatio-temporal representativeness of field measurements. A time series of 13 RapidEye images over one growing season (2010-2011) was used to explore spectral differences between and within two management systems (commercial vs. communal). Isomap ordination was applied to map continuous spectral dissimilarities of sample plots. Using regression with simultaneous autoregressive models (SAR), dissimilarities were subsequently related to ecological variables of plant and soil, including indicators for grazing effects. The largest differences were found between sample plots of communal and commercial farms. Vegetation attributes were significantly related to dissimilarities in reflectance, both from the growing season and the dormant period. However, these relationships did not suggest vegetation degradation on communal farms. They further suggest that a management-related pattern of grazing disturbance in the summer months led to spectral differences between farms but could have impaired the detailed characterization of spectral dissimilarities related to differences in vegetation composition. © 2014 Taylor & Francis.

Disentangling the effects of atmospheric CO2 and climate on intrinsic water-use efficiency in South Asian tropical moist forest trees - Rahman, Mizanur; Islam, Mahmuda; Gebrekirstos, Aster; Bräuning, Achim (Tree Physiology, 2020)
Due to the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, the ratio of carbon fixed by assimilation to water lost by transpiration through stomatal conductance (intrinsic water-use efficiency, iWUE) shows a long-term increasing trend globally. However, the drivers of short-term (inter-annual) variability in iWUE of tropical trees are poorly understood. We studied the inter-annual variability in iWUE of three South Asian tropical moist forest tree species (Chukrasia tabularis A.Juss., Toona ciliata M. Roem. and Lagerstroemia speciosa L.) derived from tree-ring stable carbon isotope ratio (δ13C) in response to variations of environmental conditions. We found a significantly decreasing trend in carbon discrimination (Δ13C) and an increasing trend in iWUE in all the three species, with a species-specific long-term trend in intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci). Growing season temperatures were the main driver of inter-annual variability of iWUE in C. tabularis and L. speciosa, whereas previous year temperatures determined the iWUE variability in T. ciliata. Vapor pressure deficit was linked with iWUE only in C. tabularis. Differences in shade tolerance, tree stature and canopy position might have caused this species-specific variation in iWUE response to climate. Linear mixed effect modeling successfully simulated iWUE variability, explaining 41-51% of the total variance varying with species. Commonality analysis revealed that temperatures had a dominant influence on the inter-annual iWUE variability (64-77%) over precipitation (7-22%) and atmospheric CO2 concentration (3-6%). However, the long-term variations in iWUE were explicitly determined by the atmospheric CO2 increase (83-94%). Our results suggest that the elevated CO2 and concomitant global warming might have detrimental effects on gas exchange and other physiological processes in South Asian tropical moist forest trees.

Disentangling the role of competition, light interception, and functional traits in tree growth rate variation in South Asian tropical moist forests - Rahman, Mizanur; Billah, Masum; Rahman, Md Obydur; Datta, Debit; Ahsanuzzaman, Muhammad; Islam, Mahmuda (Forest Ecology and Management, 2021)
Tropical forests have been focused for mitigating climate change impact through carbon sequestration in plant biomass under clean development mechanism (CDM). Since trees represent more than 98% of the above ground plant biomass, variation in tree growth rate drives carbon dynamics in tropical forests. By using tree-ring analysis, trait-based measurements, and field observations, we aimed at understanding the drivers of growth rate variation in four South Asian tropical moist forest tree species varying in plant functional types. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that mainly demographic and wood traits represented the first axis explaining 37% of the variance, whereas the second axis was represented by the leaf traits. Stem growth rate (DI) showed a nonlinear negative relation with competition index (CI) and the ratio of crown surface area to basal area (CBR) in three out of four tree species (p < 0.001) except Lagerstroemia speciosa which showed no significant relationship with any of the studied variables. DI was linearly positively related with light interception index (LI) and the ratio of sapwood area to heartwood area (SHR) in the shade intolerant Magnolia champaca and Toona ciliata (p < 0.001). Sap wood area (SA) had a strong positive effect on DI in the three species (p < 0.001). Taking tree size as a random factor and thus accounting for ontogenetic effects on tree growth, linear mixed effect modelling revealed that CI, SA and SHR are the best predictors of DI in M. champaca (AIC = 25.81, R2m = 0.81) and T. ciliata (AIC = 62.95, R2m = 0.61). In C. tabularis, CI, SA and CBR included in the best model predicting DI (AIC = 94.62, R2m = 0.55). Variance partitioning analysis showed that the highest pure effect was observed in C. tabularis contributed by CI (12%), while the highest joint effect was found in M. champaca contributed by CI, SA and SHR (40%). Our analyses suggest that competition by neighbouring trees especially for soil moisture and the amount of active xylem portion are the main drivers of tree growth in moist tropical forests. Since tree growth rates regulate forest carbon dynamics, the insights into the growth drivers of the four selected species revealed by the study have important implications for forest/plantation management with a focus on carbon storage under CDM.

Disparities in Paediatric Injury Mortality between Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Populations in British Columbia, 2001–2009 - Amram, Ofer; Walker, Blake; Schuurman, Nadine; Pike, Ian; Yanchar, Natalie L. (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2016)
Injury is the leading cause of death among children and youth in Canada. Significant disparities in injury mortality rates have been observed between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations, but little is known about the age-, sex-, and mechanism-specific patterns of injury causing death. This study examines paediatric mortality in British Columbia from 2001 to 2009 using comprehensive vital statistics registry data. We highlight important disparities in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal mortality rates, and use the Preventable Years of Life Lost (PrYLL) metric to identify differences between age groups and the mechanisms of injury causing death. A significantly greater age-adjusted mortality rate was observed among Aboriginal children (OR = 2.08, 95% CI: 1.41, 3.06), and significantly higher rates of death due to assault, suffocation, and fire were detected for specific age groups. Mapped results highlight regional disparities in PrYLL across the province, which may reflect higher Aboriginal populations in rural and remote areas. Crucially, these disparities underscore the need for community-specific injury prevention policies, particularly in regions with high PrYLL.

Distributed Global Debris Thickness Estimates Reveal Debris Significantly Impacts Glacier Mass Balance - Rounce, D. R.; Hock, R.; McNabb, R. W.; Millan, R.; Sommer, Christian; Braun, Matthias; Malz, Philipp; Maussion, F.; Mouginot, J.; Seehaus, Thorsten; Shean, D. E. (Geophysical Research Letters, 2021)
Supraglacial debris affects glacier mass balance as a thin layer enhances surface melting, while a thick layer reduces it. While many glaciers are debris-covered, global glacier models do not account for debris because its thickness is unknown. We provide the first globally distributed debris thickness estimates using a novel approach combining sub-debris melt and surface temperature inversion methods. Results are evaluated against observations from 22 glaciers. We find the median global debris thickness is ∼0.15 ± 0.06 m. In all regions, the net effect of accounting for debris is a reduction in sub-debris melt, on average, by 37%, which can impact regional mass balance by up to 0.40 m water equivalent (w.e.) yr-1. We also find recent observations of similar thinning rates over debris-covered and clean ice glacier tongues is primarily due to differences in ice dynamics. Our results demonstrate the importance of accounting for debris in glacier modeling efforts.

Diversity in volunteered geographic information - Comparing OpenStreetMap and Wikimapia in Jerusalem - Bittner, Christian (Geo Journal, 2016)
While the term “volunteered geographic information” (VGI) has become a buzzword in debates on the geoweb, online cartography and digital geoinformation, the scope and reach of VGI remains underexplored. Drawing on literature on social implications of VGI, this article, firstly, explores differences between VGI initiatives at the example of a comparative case study on social biases within data of OSM and Wikimapia in the fragmented social setting of Jerusalem, Israel. The results of this analysis turn out to be highly contradictive between both projects, which challenges widely accepted assumptions on the imprint of social inequalities and digital divides on VGI. This observation guides, secondly, a discussion of diversity within the category of VGI. Arguing that mapping communities, data formats and knowledge types behind VGI are extremely dissimilar, the paper proceeds by questioning the consistency and utility of VGI as a category. Seeking for a more comprehensive typology of VGI, Edney’s notion of cartographic modes will be presented as an approach towards a more contextualized understanding of VGI projects by embracing their underlying cultural, social and technical relations. Consequently, the paper suggests empirical research on the cartographic modes of a broad series of VGI projects through qualitative and quantitative methods alike.

Does increasing intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) stimulate tree growth at natural alpine timberline on the southeastern Tibetan Plateau? - Huang, Ru; Zhu, Haifeng; Liang, Eryuan; Liu, Xiaohong; Grießinger, Jussi; Wu, Guoju; Li, Xiaoxia; Bräuning, Achim (Global and Planetary Change, 2017)
Little is known about whether increasing iWUE (intrinsic water use efficiency) can stimulate tree growth in the temperature-limited natural timberlines. Here, we presented the basal area increment (BAI) and iWUE chronologies of Smith fir (Abies georgei var. smithii) from 1900 to 2006 at a high-elevation (ca. 4400 m a.s.l.) timberline in the humid Sygera Mountains, southeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP). The commonality analysis model was applied to investigate the relationships among BAI, temperatures, atmospheric CO2 concentration (Ca) and iWUE during 1961–2006, taking into account of both pure and joint effects. As illustrated by the commonality analysis model, the pure effect of Ca (39.15%) had more stronger influence on iWUE than that of the Tmean (annul mean temperature, 0.12%), but the joint effect between Ca and Tmean (49.79%) on iWUE was stronger than any pure effect for the raw data with an increasing trend. For the first-difference data with year-to-year variations, the pure effect of Ca (7.72%) on iWUE was stronger than that of Tmean (0.59%) and the joint effect between them (0.59%). All above imply the Ca is the dominant factor for iWUE both for the 46-year trend and interannual variations. In addition, as showed by the commonality analysis model, the pure effect of iWUE (17.57%) played a much more important role on BAI than that of temperatures (smt, mean temperature during June, July, August of current year, 5.92%; amt, mean temperature during September, October, November of previous year, 3.04%), while joint effects of iWUE and temperatures contributed more (27.96%; 13.90%; 16.47%) to the BAI than their pure effects for the raw data with an increasing linear trend. For the first-difference data with interannual variations, the pure effect of smt (12.45%) had much more effect on BAI than that of iWUE (5.49%), at the same time the joint iWUE and temperatures contributed less (3.56%; 1.9%; 1.31%) to the BAI than their pure effects. These results suggest that an increasing iWUE could enhance 46-year increasing tree growth trend at humid and high-elevation timberlines, supporting the CO2 fertilization hypothesis, while temperatures dominate the interannual variations of tree growth.

Doing institutions. A dialectic reading of institutions and social practices and its relevance for development geography - Schmitt, Thomas; Etzold, Benjamin; Sakdapolrak, Patrick; Jülich, Sebastian; Keck, Markus; Zimmer, Anna (Erdkunde, 2012)
Twelve years after the discussions on development and institutions at the meeting of the Geographischer Arbeitskreis Entwicklungstheorien (GAE 2000) in Zürich, this paper seeks to put institutions back on the research agenda in development geography. The authors explore recent trends in institutional theory and propose a dialectic understanding of “doing institutions” that positions social actors and their everyday practices at the center of institutional analysis. Institutions are the socially (re-)produced rules that enable, constrain and give meaning to the social practices of actors. Actors make institutions; at the same time institutions make actors do certain things. Based on this foundation, three central aspects of the institutional debate are elaborated: Institutional plurality, the legitimacy of institutions, and the role of the state. Two case studies from recent research in South Asia illustrate aspects of the conceptual considerations. The article ends with an outlook on the implications of “doing institutions” for future research in development geography<br

Drei Jahrzehnte area-basierte Stadtpolitik in Frankreich: politique de la ville. Bearbeitung gesellschaftlicher Probleme mittels raumorientierter Ansätze? - Glasze, Georg; Weber, Florian (Raumforschung und Raumordnung, 2010)
Since the 1970s, measures have been taken in France to fight a concentration of social and town planning problems by subsidizing certain town quarters in a specific way. The article argues that social problems are eventually being treated as problems of certain quarters. The historical background of the urban development in French suburbs will be described as well as the objectives and measures of the politique de la ville. The massive riots of 2005 in the suburbs have led to a basic criticism of the space-oriented approach of the politique de la ville. Against this background, it will finally be discussed if and, where applicable, in which way the politique de la ville has undergone a basic reorientation in the last few years.

Drought Reconstruction Over the Past Two Centuries in Southern Myanmar Using Teak Tree-Rings: Linkages to the Pacific and Indian Oceans - Zaw, Zaw; Fan, Ze Xin; Bräuning, Achim; Xu, Chen Xi; Liu, Wen Jie; Gaire, Narayan Prasad; Panthi, Shankar; Than, Kay Zin (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
To develop a high-resolution paleoclimate proxy record facilitating adaptation measures on drought impacts, we constructed a regional composite tree-ring chronology of teak (Tectona grandis) by combining three local site chronologies from southern Myanmar. Our regional tree-ring record is strongly correlated with the November–April self-calibrated Palmer drought severity index and enabled us to reconstruct drought variability for the period 1802–2016. The reconstruction explained 46.5% of the actual self-calibrated Palmer drought severity index variance. Over the past two centuries, we detected one extreme (1812) and six severe drought years (1810, 1811, 1816, 1852, 1887, and 1980). Dry periods coincided with six major famines that occurred in India. Spatial correlation analyses revealed that drought occurrence is linked to broader-scale atmospheric circulations of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, especially during the positive phase of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation. Our reconstruction provides a useful historical perspective for assessing adaptation measures intent on mitigating future drought impacts in Myanmar.

Drought (scPDSI) reconstruction of trans-Himalayan region of central Himalaya using Pinus wallichiana tree-rings - Gaire, Narayan Prasad; Dhakal, Yub Raj; Shah, Santosh K.; Fan, Ze-Xin; Bräuning, Achim; Thapa, Uday Kunwar; Bhandari, Sanjaya; Aryal, Suman; Bhuju, Dinesh Raj (Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2019)
Knowledge of the long-term frequency and intensity of drought events in an area is crucial since drought has adverse effects on natural ecosystems, food security, economy, society, and civilization. We developed a 405-year long (1611–2015C.E.) tree-ring chronology of Pinus wallichiana (Blue pine) from the Dolpo area of the trans–Himalayan region in Nepal to reconstruct drought variability in this remote region. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships with February–August precipitation, but negative correlations with temperature. High positive correlations with the self-calibrated Palmer drought severity index (scPDSI) confirmed that moisture availability during the early growing season and full growing season is the primary limiting factor for Blue pine tree growth in the trans–Himalayan region. We used a linear regression model between our tree-ring record and regional climate data to reconstruct a 319-year long (1697–2015C.E.) February–August scPDSI series. This reconstruction accounts for 39.4% of the total variance in actual scPDSI over the calibration period (1957–2015C.E.). The reconstruction showed that the area was under slightly dry conditions for most of the reconstructed period, with below normal scPDSI values. An extreme drought was observed in the year 1707. Also, the years 1705, 1706, 1784, 1786, 1809, 1810, 1813, 1821, 1849, 1858, 1861, 1909, 1967, 2006, and 2009 experienced severe drought conditions. Consecutive years with moderate drought were 1702–1706, 1783–1789, 1796–1798, 1812–1814, 1816–1827, 1846–1848, 1856–1864, 1873–1877, 1879–1882, 1899–1901, 1908–1911, and 1967–1968. Three historic mega-drought events that occurred in Asia were also captured in our reconstruction: Strange Parallels drought (1756–1768), the East India drought (1790–1796), and the late Victorian Great Drought (1876–1878). Very few wet years (1776–1979, 1989, 1991, and 2003) were observed during the reconstruction period. Power spectrum analysis revealed drought variability at frequencies of 2.0–2.5, 3.0, 12.0, and 128 years, suggesting that drought in the region might be linked to broad-scale atmospheric-oceanic variabilities such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). The results not only improve our understanding on regional drought variability, but are also helpful to make decisions on adaptation measures for protecting the marginal communities of the trans–Himalayan region from the anticipated adverse impacts of future droughts.

Drought signals in tree-ring stable oxygen isotope series of Qilian juniper from the arid northeastern Tibetan Plateau - Qin, Chun; Yang, Bao; Bräuning, Achim; Grießinger, Jussi; Wernicke, Jakob (Global and Planetary Change, 2015)
For the mechanistic understanding of hydroclimate variability, stable oxygen isotopic ratios (δO) of tree-ring α-cellulose can play a key role in paleoclimatic research. On the north-east Tibetan Plateau (TP), a region particularly sensitive to climate change, there exists a distinct lack of δO research in tree-ring archives. The few currently existing tree-ring δO chronologies were obtained by pooling the wood material from the same year from different trees prior to preparation and analysis. Although this method is time and cost efficient, it might impede the analysis of changes within the internal variability of oxygen isotope signals and a deeper understanding of the resulting climate reconstruction. We selected five Qilian juniper (Sabina przewalskii Kom.) trees covering the period 1951-2011 on the north-east TP to investigate the climate signals contained in stable oxygen isotopic composition records obtained using single tree analysis. Although the inter-series correlation between the five individual δO series indicates a highly significant relationship (mean r=0.59, n=59, p=0.01), the five individual δO series show significantly differently mean values. We found significant negative correlations between drought/hydroclimatically triggered climate parameters (PDSI, precipitation) and each of the individual δO series. Spatial correlation maps indicate negative correlation of tree-ring δO and Indian Ocean sea surface temperatures, and inverse correlation patters of moisture conditions on the northern and southern TP. Our results provide a reference for future research on stable oxygen isotope/climate signals in the species S. przewalskii Kom.

Drought, temperature, and moisture availability: understanding the drivers of isotopic decoupling in native pine species of the Nepalese Himalaya - Aryal, Sugam; Grießinger, Jussi; Gaire, Narayan Prasad; Bhattarai, Tribikram; Bräuning, Achim (International Journal of Biometeorology, 2024)
The Himalayas experienced long-term climate changes and recent extreme weather events that affected plant growth and the physiology of tree species at high-elevation sites. This study presents the first statistically robust δ18OTR chronologies for two native pine species, Pinus roxburghii, and Pinus wallichiana, in the lower Nepalese Himalaya. The isotope chronologies exhibited 0.88‰ differences in overall mean isotope values attributed to varying elevations (460–2000 m asl). Comparative analysis of climate response using data sets from different sources and resolutions revealed the superiority of the APHRODITE (Asian Precipitation – Highly-Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation) data set calibrated for the South Asian Summer Monsoon (SASM)-dominated region. Both species exhibited negative correlations with monsoon precipitation and positive correlations with temperature. However, during the peak monsoon season (July-August), daily resolved climate data disentangled statistically insignificant relationships, and revealed that δ18OTR is influenced by atmospheric moisture. Both congeneric species showed a decoupling between the chronologies after 1995. However, no significant change in air moisture origin and monsoon regime between the study sites was observed, indicating a consistent dominant moisture source during different monsoon seasons. Besides, we also observed the decreased inter-series correlation of both δ18OTR chronologies after 1995, with P. wallichiana experiencing a steeper decrease than P. roxburghii. The weakening correlations between and within the chronologies coincided with a regional drought during 1993–1995 in both sites, highlighting the strong regulation of local climate on the impact of regional extreme climate events. Our findings emphasise the importance of employing climate data with optimal spatial and temporal resolution for improved δ18OTR-climate relationships at the intra-annual scale while considering the influence of site-specific local environmental conditions. Assessing climate data sets with station data is vital for accurately interpreting climate change’s impact on forest response and long-term climate reconstructions.

Dust storm frequency and its relation to climate changes in Northern China during the past 1000 years. - Yang, Bao; Bräuning, Achim; Zhang, Ziyin; Dong, Zhibao; Esper, Jan (Atmospheric Environment, 2007)
Dust storm events and their relation to climate changes in Northern China during the past 1000 years were analyzed by using different paleoclimate archives such as ice cores, tree rings, and historical documents. The results show that in the semiarid region, the temperature and precipitation series were significantly negatively correlated to the dust storm frequency on a decadal timescale. Compared with temperature changes, however, there was a closer correlation between precipitation changes and dust storm events on a centennial timescale. At this timescale, precipitation accounts for 40% of the variance of dust fall variations during the last 1700 years, inferring precipitation control on the formation of dust storms. In the western arid region, both temperature and precipitation changes are important forcing factors for the occurrence of dust storms in the region on a centennial timescale. In the eastern arid region, the relationship between dust storm events and climate changes are similar like in the semiarid region. As a result, the effects of climate change on dust storm events were manifested on decadal and centennial timescales during the last millennium. However, there is a phase shift in the relation between climate change and the dust storm frequency. A 1400 years reconstruction of the strength of the Siberian High reveals that long-term variations of spring Siberian High intensity might provide a background for the dynamic conditions for the frequency of historical dust storm events in Northern China.

Dynamic response of Sjögren inlet glaciers, Antarctic Peninsula, to ice shelf breakup derived from multi-mission remote sensing time series - Seehaus, Thorsten; Marinsek, Sebastiàn; Skvarca, Pedro; van Wessem, Jan Melchior; Reijmer, Carleen; Seco, José Luiz; Braun, Matthias (Frontiers of Earth Science, 2016)
The substantial retreat or disintegration of numerous ice shelves has been observed on the Antarctic Peninsula. The ice shelf in the Prince Gustav Channel has retreated gradually since the late 1980s and broke up in 1995. Tributary glaciers reacted with speed-up, surface lowering and increased ice discharge, consequently contributing to sea level rise. We present a detailed long-term study (1993-2014) of the dynamic response of Sjogren Inlet glaciers to the disintegration of the Prince Gustav Ice Shelf. We analyzed various remote sensing datasets to identify the reactions of the glaciers to the loss of the buttressing ice shelf. A strong increase in ice surface velocities was observed, with maximum flow speeds reaching 2.82 +/- 0.48 m d-1 in 2007 and 1.50 +/- 0.32 m d-1 in 2004 at Sjogren and Boydell glaciers respectively. Subsequently, the flow velocities decelerated, however in late 2014, we still measured approximately twice the values of our first observations in 1996. The Sjogren Inlet glaciers retreated 61.7 +/- 3.1 km(2) behind the former grounding line in 1996. For the glacier area below 1000 m a.s.l. and above the 2014 grounding (399 km2), a mean surface lowering of -68 +/- 10 m (-3.1 m a(-1)) was observed in the period 1993-2014. The lowering rate decreased to -2.2 m a-1 in the period 2012-2014. Based on the surface lowering rates, geodetic mass balances of the glaciers were derived for different time periods. A strongly negative mass change rate of -1.16 +/- 0.38 Gt a(-1) was found for the area of all Sjogren Inlet glaciers (including the area above 1000 m a.s.l.) above the 2014 grounding line (559 km(2)) for the earliest period (1993-2001). Due to the dynamic adjustments of the glaciers to the new boundary conditions the rate changed to -0.54 +/- 0.13 Gt a-1 in the period 2012-2014, resulting in an average mass change rate of -0.84 +/- 0.18 Gt a-1 (1993-2014) for the same domain. Including the retreat of the ice front and grounding line, a total mass change of -37.5 +/- 8.2 Gt (-1.79 +/- 0.39 Gt a(-1)) and a contribution to sea level rise of 20.9 +/- 5.2 Gt (-0.99 +/- 0.25 Gt a(-1)) were computed for the period 1993-2014. Analysis of the ice flux revealed that available bedrock elevation estimates at Sjogren Inlet are too shallow and are the major uncertainty in ice flux computations. This temporally dense time series analysis of Sjogren Inlet glaciers shows that the adjustments of tributary glaciers to ice shelf disintegration are still ongoing and provides detailed information of the changes in glacier dynamics.

Dynamics and driving forces of treeline fluctuation and regeneration in central Norway during the past decades - Rößler, Ole; Bräuning, Achim; Löffler, Jörg (Erdkunde, 2008)
The aim of this study was to analyse recent treeline fluctuations in central Norway to estimate the influence of land use change and climatic change during the past decades. Four study areas were chosen along steep oceanic-continental gradients in central Norway, representing different climatic regions. The analysis was performed using a combination of landscape-ecological, dendroecological, remote sensing and human-geographical methods. Treeline alterations were analysed by correlating climate change signals and spatial land use changes. All study sites showed a spatial expansion of forest fragments within the alpine treeline ecotone but little regeneration above the recent treeline. We found that intensive historical land use by logging and grazing had decreased the treeline at the beginning of the 20th century. Recent regeneration was found, mainly due to land use extensification. Climate analysis indicated warmer and moister conditions over the past decades. We found that these changes were restricted to the winter months, only. Furthermore, regeneration occurred on plots formerly disturbed by heavy grazing pressure or cryoturbation. Climatic change during the past decades had no effect on treeline fluctuations. The most decisive driving forces for treetine fluctuation and regeneration were changes of land use intensity. On the one hand, grazing pressure was the initial trigger for the expansion of forest fragments within the treeline ecotone. On the other, high grazing intensity combined with other land use practises caused stable stages of depressed treelines.

Dynamics of the ice cap on King George Island, Antarctica - field measurements and numerical simulations - Braun, Matthias; et al. (Annals of Glaciology, 2010)
King George Island is located at the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, which is influenced by maritime climate conditions. The observed mean annual air temperature at sea level is-2.47deg;C. Thus, the ice cap is regarded as sensitive to changing climatic conditions. Ground-penetrating radar surveys indicate a partly temperate ice cap with an extended water layer at the firn/ice transition of the up to 700 m high ice cap. Measured firn temperatures are close to 0°C at the higher elevations, and they differ considerably from the measured mean annual air temperature. The aim of this paper is to present ice-flow dynamics by means of observations and simulations of the flow velocities. During several field campaigns from 1997/98 to 2008/09, ice surface velocities were derived with repeated differential GPS measurements. Ice velocities vary from 0.7 m a-1 at the dome to 112.1 m a-1 along steep slopes. For the western part of the ice cap a three-dimensional diagnostic full-Stokes model was applied to calculate ice flow. Parameters of the numerical model were identified with respect to measured ice surface velocities. The simulations indicate cold ice at higher elevations, while temperate ice at lower elevations is consistent with the observation

Early 21st century spatially detailed elevation changes of Jammu and Kashmir glaciers (Karakoram–Himalaya) - Vijay, Saurabh; Braun, Matthias (Global and Planetary Change, 2018)

Early summer hydroclimatic signals are captured well by tree-ring earlywood width in the eastern Qinling Mountains, central China - Zhao, Yesi; Shi, Jiangfeng; Shi, Shiyuan; Ma, Xiaoqi; Zhang, Weijie; Wang, Bowen; Sun, Xuguang; Lu, Huayu; Bräuning, Achim (Climate of the Past, 2019)
In the humid and semi-humid regions of China, tree-ring-width (TRW) chronologies offer limited moisture-related climatic information. To gather additional climatic information, it would be interesting to explore the potential of the intra-annul tree-ring-width indices (i.e., the earlywood width, EWW, and latewood width, LWW). To achieve this purpose, TRW, EWW, and LWW were measured from the tree-ring samples of Pinus tabuliformis originating from the semi-humid eastern Qinling Mountains, central China. Standard (STD) and signal-free (SSF) chronologies of all parameters were created using these detrending methods including (1) negative exponential functions combined with linear regression with negative (or zero) slope (NELR), (2) cubic smoothing splines with a 50 % frequency cutoff at 67 % of the series length (SP67), and (3) age-dependent splines with an initial stiffness of 50 years (SPA50). The results showed that EWW chronologies were significantly negatively correlated with temperature but positively correlated with precipitation and soil moisture conditions during the current early-growing season. By contrast, LWW and TRW chronologies had weaker relationships with these climatic factors. The strongest climatic signal was detected for the EWW STD chronology detrended with the NELR method, explaining 50 % of the variance in the May-July self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index (MJJ scPDSI) during the instrumental period 1953-2005. Based on this relationship, the MJJ scPDSI was reconstructed back to 1868 using a linear regression function. The reconstruction was validated by comparison with other hydroclimatic reconstructions and historical document records from adjacent regions. Our results highlight the potential of intra-annual tree-ring indices for reconstructing seasonal hydroclimatic variations in humid and semi-humid regions of China. Furthermore, our reconstruction exhibits a strong in-phase relationship with a newly proposed East Asian summer monsoon index (EASMI) before the 1940s on the decadal and longer timescales, which may be due to the positive response of the local precipitation to EASMI. Nonetheless, the cause for the weakened relationship after the 1940s is complex, and cannot be solely attributed to the changing impacts of precipitation and temperature.

Ecozones and soils – An introduction - Bäumler, Rupert (Encyclopedia of Soils in the Environment, 2023)
The pedosphere and biosphere together, despite their marked differences, form the skin of the Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. The ecozonal concept is one of the first concepts to enable classification of both soils and the biosphere. Climatic factors are the main trigger that creates the differences within soils or soil types, within ecosystem sub-types, and between both. This chapter provides a short introduction to the chapters with a special focus on soils and soil types that follow a zonal concept, but also on soils which follow the law of exception, both are within the Pedology Section of the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Soils in the Environment.<br

Effectiveness and distributional impacts of payments for reduced carbon emissions from deforestation - Knoke, Thomas; Weber, Michael; Barkmann, Jan; Pohle, Perdita; Calvas, Baltazar; Medina, Carolina; Aguirre, Nikolay; Guenter, Sven; Stimm, Bernd; Mosandl, Reinhard; von Walter, Frank; Maza, Byron; et al. (Erdkunde, 2009)
This paper analyses the effectiveness and distributional effects of payments to avoid tropical deforestation. As a first aspect, we investigated whether or not expected payments for avoided deforestation would be acceptable for tropical farmers in Southern Ecuador, with the study area located directly adjacent to the Podocarpus National Park. Second, we explored possible distributional effects resulting from voluntary or mandatory remuneration schemes to avoid deforestation. Finally, a productive sustainable land use was conceptualised to be combined with payments for avoided deforestation to avoid leakage (i.e. deforestation processes elsewhere when avoided at a given farm). Farm level land use scenarios with ("business as usual") and without deforestation ("conservation strategy") were compared. Compensation per Mg Carbon (C) that is not emitted into the atmosphere under the "conservation strategy" was derived to achieve a monetary land net present value (NPV, sum of discounted future net revenues) equal to the NPV obtained under "business as usual". Avoided carbon emissions were computed from above ground C in tropical forests of the project area and supplemented by information on soil carbon from another study. Economic data for cattle pasturing were obtained from a farm survey (130 households) to investigate distributional effects. To derive sustainable land use concepts, a risk sensitive bioeconomic farm model was used that considered effects of risk compensation when combining pasture with reforestation of abandoned farm lands and selective logging of natural forests. The results showed that only a few farmers (20 out of 130) would possibly accept a compensation price of US 10 per Mg avoided C emission, a C-compensation that is believed by other authors to reduce deforestation by 65%. Rather a compensation of around US 25 per Mg C was necessary to address compensation requirements of farmers who hold 50% of the tropical forest area in our study. The implementation of a voluntary remuneration scheme for avoided deforestation would not introduce systematic distributional effects (such as that only the biggest farmers would benefit from compensation), while a mandatory and enforced ban on deforestation coupled with a "fair" compensation payment equal to mean compensation requirements may lead to undesirable effects for many farmers. Finally, we demonstrate a mixed sustainable land use concept that depended on cheap credits for reforestation of abandoned pasture lands. This concept was able to stop farm level deforestation and to enlarge the economic value of farms through various combined land use options (agricultural and forestry options). The combination of land uses led to risk compensatory effects and a more efficient land use by reintegrating unproductive abandoned areas back into the economical process. In our conclusion a combination of payments for avoided deforestation along with productive land use concepts provided a viable solution for tropical forest conservation.

Effect of higher-order stress gradients on the centennial mass evolution of the Greenland ice sheet - Fürst, Johannes; Goelzer, Heiko; Huybrechts, Philippe (Cryosphere, 2013)
We use a three-dimensional thermo-mechanically coupled model of the Greenland ice sheet to assess the effects of marginal perturbations on volume changes on centennial timescales. The model is designed to allow for five ice dynamic formulations using different approximations to the force balance. The standard model is based on the shallow ice approximation for both ice deformation and basal sliding. A second model version relies on a higher-order Blatter/Pattyn type of core that resolves effects from gradients in longitudinal stresses and transverse horizontal shearing, i.e. membrane-like stresses. Together with three intermediate model versions, these five versions allow for gradually more dynamic feedbacks from membrane stresses. Idealised experiments are conducted on various resolutions to compare the time-dependent response to imposed accelerations at the marine ice front. If such marginal accelerations are to have an appreciable effect on total mass loss on a century timescale, a fast mechanism to transmit such perturbations inland is required. While the forcing is independent of the model version, inclusion of direct horizontal coupling allows the initial speed-up to reach several tens of kilometres inland. Within one century, effects from gradients in membrane stress alter the inland signal propagation and transmit additional dynamic thinning to the ice sheet interior. But the centennial overall volume loss differs only by some percents from the standard model, as the dominant response is a diffusive inland propagation of geometric changes. For the experiments considered, this volume response is even attenuated by direct horizontal coupling. The reason is a faster adjustment of the sliding regime by instant stress transmission in models that account for the effect of membrane stresses. Ultimately, horizontal coupling decreases the reaction time to perturbations at the ice sheet margin. These findings suggest that for modelling the mass evolution of a large-scale ice sheet, effects from diffusive geometric adjustments dominate effects from successively more complete dynamic approaches.

Effect of wetwood and blue stain (Ceratocystis spp.) on the drying rate and fluid transport coefficients of poplar (P. nigra) - Foroozan, Zeynab; Tarmian, Asghar; Ghamari, Reza; Matini Behzad, Hamed (Iranian Journal of Natural Resources, 2015)
In this research, the effect of wetwood and blue stain on the drying rate and fluid transport coefficients of poplar (P. nigra) was evaluated. For this purpose, five boards with dimensions of 150 × 35 × 45 mm were cut from wet‌ wood, normal ‌wood, and stained -wood areas of freshly cut lumbers in the Taleghan region and then dried to the final moisture content of 8 percent inside a laboratory dryer at a temperature of 50 °C, relative humidity of 60%, and air velocity of 1 m/s. Overall, the drying time was 120 h. After drying, the transverse permeability and diffusion coefficients were measured. The results showed that the wetwood had no decreasing effect on the drying rate of poplar wood; however, it reached the final moisture content slower due to higher initial moisture content. َAlso, the wetwood had no significant effect on the transverse permeability but reduced the diffusion coefficient. In contrast to the wetwood effects, the drying rate, permeability, and diffusion coefficients were increased due to the blue stai

Effects of environmental and spatial gradients on Quercus-dominated Mountain forest communities in the Hindu-Kush ranges of Pakistan - Rahman, Ataur; Khan, Nasrullah; Bräuning, Achim; Ullah, Rafi; Rahman, Inayat Ur (Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences, 2022)
Quercus-dominated forests are among the most important broad-leaved evergreen forests of the Hindu Kush ranges and are currently prone to drastic anthropogenic and climatic changes. The aim of this study was to provide basic data for the development of a regional oak forest ecosystem framework for ecological restoration and management plan development to maintain local peoples’ livelihoods. Hence, we analyzed distribution patterns and environmental factors that affect regional oak forests’ species composition and diversity. Ward's Agglomerative clustering divided oak-dominated forest communities into three groups: i.e., Group I, dominated by Quercus baloot had an importance value index (IVI) of 89.87 ± 4.31, Group II, dominated by Quercus dilatata had an IVI of 32.16 ± 15.01, and Group III, dominated by Quercus oblongata had an IVI of 83.14 ± 4.67, respectively. The environmental factors which vary significantly within these communities were latitude, elevation, clay content and bulk density of the soil. Wilting point, saturation point, and electrical conductivity were also considered as ecosystem structural variables. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) indicated that community structure was affected by various environmental factors including precipitation, slope angle, elevation, clay content, and relative humidity.

Effects of forest thinning on the streamwater chemistry of two forest watersheds in the Bavarian Alps - Bäumler, Rupert; et al. (Forest Ecology and Management, 1999)
Two well-buffered mountain forest watersheds were studied with regard to streamwater chemistry and the impact of forest thinning. The areas are located in the Bavarian Alps near lake Tegernsee, 50 km southwest of Munich. In order to get information about the influence of disturbances on the streamwater chemistry 40% of the trees were removed from one watershed after two years of monitoring. The trees were removed by crane to avoid soil damage and erosion. The second watershed was used as a reference. The output at the weirs is characterized, in general, by a strong export of silicate, alkali and alkaline earth cations, and bicarbonate. Acidity and nitrogen accumulate in the watersheds. Both areas are subject to a continuously increasing load of acidity. The acidity is mainly buffered by cation exchange and silicate hydrolysis. This is indicated by continuously decreasing pH values and the dominance of Ca2+ and silicic acid in the streamwater. Strong changes in the water chemistry along the flowpath indicate that rainwater will be stored in the system for sometime, and water derived from the headwater areas influences the discharge. During precipitation events the new rainwater replaces pre-event water, stored in soils, which had a longer contact time with the biotic and abiotic soil matrix. Acute effects of the selective harvest are leveled in the streamwater by multiple buffer reactions. The discharge of the disturbed watershed was increased by the reduction of interception and transpiration. Increased rates of mineralization and acidity loads caused an increase in ion concentration and solution load in the discharge from the disturbed area. NH4/+ showed the strongest effects compared to the reference area and the pre-event period. The changes in the runoff returned to pre-event conditions about one year after the disturbance.

Effects of Nutrient Addition on the Productivity of Montane Forests and Implications for the Carbon Cycle - Homeier, Jürgen; Leuschner, Christoph; Bräuning, Achim; Cumbicus, Nixon Leonardo; Hertel, Dietrich; Martinson, Guntars O.; Spannl, Susanne; Veldkamp, Edzo (Ecosystem Services, Biodiversity and Environmental Change in a Tropical Mountain Ecosystem of South Ecuador, 2013)
Both carbon storage and sequestration are major ecosystem services provided by forests. The NUMEX (Ecuadorian NUtrient Manipulation EXperiment) study aims to identify the underlying mechanisms for the variation of these services as affected by future changes in nutrient availability. The ongoing experiment is being conducted in southern Ecuador to improve our understanding of the effects of continuous moderate N and P addition to tropical montane forest ecosystems. This chapter summarizes the short-term effects of nutrient addition evident at the end of the experiment’s first year. The rapid responses of the studied Andean montane forests to N and P addition observed at this early stage of the experiment illustrate the vulnerability of the forests to higher nutrient deposition.

Ehrenamtliches Engagement für Migrant:innen in ländlichen Räumen - Kordel, Stefan; Weidinger, Tobias; Spenger, David (FAU University Press, 2023)
Ländliche Räume in Deutschland werden durch internationale Migration bunter. Verschiedene Gruppen von Migrant:innen wanderten und wandern in Kleinstädte und Landgemeinden zu. Diese Zuwanderergruppen haben unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägte Ressourcen und können demnach die Orientierung an ihrem neuen Wohnort und die gleichberechtigte Teilhabe in verschiedenen Bereichen des gesellschaftlichen Lebens – oder anders formuliert Integration – zu einem gewissen Grad selbst leisten oder benötigen Unterstützung. Besonders Geflüchtete sind Zielgruppen staatlicher Integrationsleistungen einerseits und der Aktivitäten ehrenamtlicher Initiativen und Einzelpersonen andererseits. Auf eindrucksvolle Art und Weise trug das Engagement zahlreicher Ehrenamtlicher in der Aufnahme von Geflüchteten in den vergangenen Jahren zu einer enormen gesellschaftlichen Mobilisierung, zum einen aus bestehenden Vereinen und Organisationen heraus, aber auch von Menschen, die bislang nicht engagiert waren, bei. Auf lokaler Ebene ist ehrenamtliches Engagement unverzichtbarer Bestandteil von erfolgreicher Integration von Neuzugewanderten. Das Projekt EMILIE zielt darauf ab, die Rolle und Wirkung ehrenamtlichen Engagements für die Integration unterschiedlicher Gruppen von Neuzugewanderten besser zu verstehen und Gelingensfaktoren für ein nachhaltiges Engagement zu identifizieren. Deshalb liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk auf den Beweggründen für das freiwillige Engagement, den Zielgruppen der Tätigkeiten Freiwilliger sowie den Veränderungen der ehrenamtlichen Betätigung im Zeitverlauf. Um diese Fragestellungen zu beantworten, wurden empirische Erhebungen in Form von qualitativen Interviews, die einen biographisch-narrativen und einen ortsbezogenen, lokalen Forschungsansatz kombinierten, in vier ländlichen Landkreisen in Bayern, Rheinland-Pfalz, Sachsen-Anhalt und Schleswig-Holstein durchgeführt.

Forderungen nach »digitaler Souveränität« reagieren auf diese Problematisierungen und greifen dabei auf ein neuzeitliches Konzept zurück, das mit Referenzen auf Eigenständigkeit und Abgrenzung noch vor wenigen Jahren vielfach als überkommen betrachtet wurde. Wir skizzieren daher zunächst eine Geschichte des Konzepts »Souveränität« und differenzieren dabei unterschiedliche Vorstellungen und Praktiken des »souveränen Staates « und des »souveränen Subjekts«. Forderungen nach Souveränität wurden und werden dabei von sehr unterschiedlichen Akteuren erhoben. So lässt sich zeigen, dass Souveränität einerseits mit emanzipativen Forderungen nach Selbstbestimmung verknüpft wurde, aber auch mit der Legitimation absoluter Herrschaft. »Souveränität« ist insofern ein zweischneidiges Schwert. Vor diesem Hintergrund betrachten wir es als Aufgabe der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften, im Dialog mit den Technikwissenschaften differenzierte Perspektiven auf Forderungen nach »(digitaler) Souveränität« herauszuarbeiten und damit Orientierungswissen für die gesellschaftliche Selbstverständigung im digitalen Zeitalter und für die Gestaltung der digitalen Transformation zu entwickeln. Die am Ende dieser Einleitung vorgestellten Beiträge dieses Bandes steuern dazu Perspektiven aus verschiedenen Disziplinen be

Einleitung: Kulturgeographien - Glasze, Georg; Husseini de Araújo, Shadia; Michel, Boris; Miggelbrink, Judith (Humangeographie, 2021)
Eine Antwort auf die Frage nach den Zielen und Aufgaben der Kulturgeographie steht vor der Schwierigkeit, dass der Begriff „Kultur“ zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten und in unterschiedlichen Kontexten sehr verschiedenartig verwendet wurde und wird. Innerhalb der Geographie wird in grober Vereinfachung differenziert zwischen einer „traditionellen Kulturgeographie“ im 19. und der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts und einer „neuen Kulturgeogra-phie“, die sich seit den 1990er Jahren etabliert hat. Die Ideen davon, was in diesen beiden Kulturgeographien als Kultur bezeichnet wird, unterscheiden sich dabei deutlich. Dieses Einleitungskapitel wird die Brüche zwi-schen diesen Kulturgeographien herausarbeiten – aber auch Gemeinsamkeiten identifizier

Einleitung zum Beitrag: Gentrifizierung in Nürnberg-Gostenhof? – Das Thema einer Forschungswerkstatt am Institut für Geographie der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg - Schmitt, Thomas (Mitteilungen der Fränkischen Geographischen Gesellschaft, 2018)
In recent years, a debate has taken place in the urban society of Nuremberg as to whether gentrification is taking place in the district of Gostenhof, i.e. a process of redevelopment which leads to the displacement of established tenants and to impoverishment of socio-cultural activities. To this end, the Institute of Geography at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg has carried out a research workshop for Master students. The present article documents selected results of the workshop, including contributions from the podium at a discussion on the subject, as well as the results of interviews conducted by the students and statements collected by them. In this way, the paper provides an (in the sense of qualitative research: representative) insight into the debates and positions regarding the question of a possible gentrification of Gostenhof, without claiming to make conclusive statements as to the type, scope and normative value of sociocultural processes in Gostenhof.<br

Einsatz satellitenbasierter Fernerkundung und terrestrischer Fotografie zur (halb-)automatischen Erfassung und Analyse von Gleitschnee-Ereignissen Semi-automated detection and analysis of glide-snow events using satellite-based remote sensing and terrestrial photography - Feick, Sebastian (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, 2013)
Gleitschneelawinen stellen Lawinenwarndienste und Sicherheitsverantwortliche, insbesondere von Verkehrsinfrastrukturen, jeden Winter vor große Herausforderungen. Eine Kombination aus teilweise lang andauernder Gefährdung, großen Unsicherheiten bei der Vorhersagbarkeit und fehlenden Möglichkeiten für Kontrollmaßnahmen ist hierfür die Ursache. Der Prozess des Schneegleitens und die sich daraus entwickelnden Gleitschneelawinen sind bisher relativ wenig untersucht worden. Der Winter 2011/12 hat eindrücklich die bestehenden Wissenslücken aufgezeigt. Ein ungewöhnlich trockener, sonniger und warmer Herbst 2011, gefolgt von einem schneereichen Frühwinter hatte vor allem auf der Alpennordseite zu einer außergewöhnlichen Gleitschneeaktivität mit vielen Sachschäden und Unfalllawinen geführt. In der Regel öffnen sich vor dem Abgang einer Gleitschneelawine sogenannte Gleitschneerisse in der Schneedecke, welche aufgrund der frei werdenden dunklen Geländeoberfläche meist gut sichtbar sind. Damit stellen Gleitschneelawinen die einzige Lawinenart dar, bei welcher der Gefahrenbereich vor dem Lawinenabgang prinzipiell erkennbar und damit genau lokalisierbar ist. Eine optische Erfassung und überwachung der Entstehung und zeitlichen Entwicklung von Gleitschnee-Ereignissen, d. h. Gleitschneerissen und Gleitschneelawinen, bietet sich daher an. Glide-snow avalanches are a recurring challenge for avalanche warning services and avalanche control programs because they are difficult to predict and hard to trigger artificially. Processes leading to snow gliding on the ground as well as the evolution of glide cracks and glide avalanches are still poorly understood. This lack of knowledge became apparent in win-ter 2011/12. An extremely dry and warm fall season followed by a snowy early winter season led to extraordinary glide-snow activity with much damage and accidents all over the north-ern Alps. The occurrence of glide avalanches is frequently indicated by glide cracks. Due to the strong contrast between the dark ground and the surrounding snow areas, these cracks are easy to detect in visual examination. This offers, in contrast to other types of avalanches, the possibility for an optical detection and monitoring of glide-snow events, i.e. glide cracks and glide avalanches

El Chaltén, Argentinian Patagonia: A successful combination of conservation and tourism? - Gerique-Zipfel, Andres; Vanselow, Kim André (Socio-Environmental Research in Latin America, 2023)
El Chaltén is a village created in 1985 within Los Glaciares National Park, in Argentine Patagonia. Since 1985, this urban center has experienced rapid development due to immigration and nature tourism. We use the concept of naturbanization to investigate why and how El Chaltén was created, who are its inhabitants and visitors, and above all, what are the socio-environmental dynamics and impacts of the resulting urbanization process within a national park. To answer these questions, we use a mixed methodology that includes fieldwork, quantitative and qualitative interviews, and remotely sensed data time series based on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. Although our research finds limited negative environmental impacts caused by the creation of a village inside a national park, further urbanization can endanger the fragile balance between a growing population and tourism demand on the one side and effective conservation on the othe

Elevational variation of reproductive traits in five Pardosa (Lycosidae) species - Hein, Nils; Feilhauer, Hannes; Löffler, Jörg; Finch, Oliver (Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2015)
Differentiations in reproductive traits along climatic gradients can be substantial for a species to spread along a wide spatial range. We compared the reproductive effort allocated to first egg sacs of five species of the genus Pardosa: P. palustris (Linnaeus 1758), P. amentata (Clerck 1757), P. lugubris (Walckenaer 1802), P. hyperborea (Thorell 1872), and P. riparia (C. L. Koch 1833) along three elevation transects in central Norway. We tested whether population differences are consistent among the three transects, respectively along the elevational gradient. We assumed that the harsh environments of alpine areas would lead to adaptations in reproductive traits resulting in larger eggs but smaller clutches at higher elevations. The results show that female size and egg number were positively correlated among all species. However, no clear elevation-related trend was found. Other traits did not change consistently between species and along the elevational gradient. We assume that local microclimatic impacts on spider fitness are a crucial but poorly understood factor. Without further knowledge about adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in ectotherms, modeling of possible future reproduction biology might remain flawed.

Encountering local inhabitants‘ perspectives in terms of authenticity: The example of rural tourism in Southern Germany - Weidinger, Tobias (dos Algarves, 2015)
Effects of globalisation and various standardisation processes in everyday life are currently reflected through individuals’ quests for encountering authenticity. The paper interrogates  in which particular ways local inhabitants evaluate rural localities with regard to authenticity by means of local architectural styles and filmic representations. Empirical findings from two qualitative studies carried out in rural Southern Germany are presented. The studies were comprised of qualitative interviews with local inhabitants and representatives in tourism, politics and heritage conservation together with a film analysis of a popular Heimat film shoot in the Bavarian forest. Results reveal locals’ critique of modern architectural styles such as “Tuscan houses” as inauthentic, whereby a link between architecture and regional identity (“archidentity”) cannot be established. However, the film analysis brings forth locals’ congruities between filmic representations and their lived spaces. In sum, locals’ perspectives on authentication processes can contribute to re-evaluate localities that are mainly shaped by idealised images for tourism purposes.

Encounters Between Experiences and Measurements: The Role of Local Knowledge in Climate Change Research - Kieslinger, Julia; Pohle, Perdita; Buitron, Viviana; Peters, Thorsten (Mountain Research and Development, 2019)
Innovative approaches could enhance scientific insights into how climate change affects mountain ecosystems and livelihoods and enrich climate action. Using an inter- and transdisciplinary approach in a remote tropical dry forest region of the Andes in southern Ecuador, this article combines local knowledge about climate change and adaptation, based on perceptions and experiences, with quantitative climate measurements. Our theoretical framework is based on the concept of vulnerability and sustainable livelihoods perspectives. Methodologically, we draw on the Participatory Rural Appraisal approach. Participatory workshops and qualitative interviews were carried out in the canton of Macara between 2015 and 2017. Local and regional climate data series were analyzed for climate trends and extreme events. Our study improves understanding of the social and physical dimension of climate change. Especially in mountain areas, differing scales of climate data must be considered to capture local climate conditions and changes. Thus, local knowledge could make a major contribution to selecting representative climate datasets, estimating local impacts of climate change, and developing adaptation policies.

Enhanced Variability and Declining Trend of Soil Moisture Since the 1880s on the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau - Wang, Lu; Liu, Hongyan; Grießinger, Jussi; Chen, Deliang; Sun, Changfeng; Fang, Congxi (Water Resources Research, 2023)
Historical soil moisture (SM) variations, trends, and their driving factors remain scarce for the area of Tibetan Plateau (TP), which hinders putting a sensible assessment of the current and future ecological drought risk into perspective. Here, we report the first three century-long regional summer (July-August) SM reconstruction for the southeastern TP during 1691-2007 CE using a paleoclimate proxy, that is, tree-ring delta O-18. The SM reconstruction, which explained 60.9% of the actual variance, revealed that an abrupt wet-to-dry change occurred in 1884. After 1884, SM exhibited a decreasing trend and enhanced variability, and dry summers occurred more frequently. In particular, the variability in SM reached an unprecedented level after the 1950s relative to that during the past three centuries. A structural equation model and running correlation analysis revealed that SM variation was mainly controlled by precipitation rather than temperature. This indicates that the anthropogenic-related weakening of the Indian summer monsoon played a more dominant role in SM changes after 1884 than the increase in temperature. If the SM variability is to be further increased in the future, it may undermine ecosystem stability and forest health. The results of this study are significant for predicting ecological drought in ecologically vulnerable regions such as the High Asia.

Ensemble identification of spectral bands related to soil organic carbon levels over an agricultural field in southern Ontario, Canada - Laamrani, Ahmed; Berg, Aaron A.; Voroney, Paul; Feilhauer, Hannes; Blackburn, Line; March, Michael; Dao, Phuong D.; He, Yuhong; Martin, Ralph C. (Remote Sensing, 2019)
The recent use of hyperspectral remote sensing imagery has introduced new opportunities for soil organic carbon (SOC) assessment and monitoring. These data enable monitoring of a wide variety of soil properties but pose important methodological challenges. Highly correlated hyperspectral spectral bands can affect the prediction and accuracy as well as the interpretability of the retrieval model. Therefore, the spectral dimension needs to be reduced through a selection of specific spectral bands or regions that are most helpful to describing SOC. This study evaluates the efficiency of visible near-infrared (VNIR) and shortwave near-infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral data to identify the most informative hyperspectral bands responding to SOC content in agricultural soils. Soil samples (111) were collected over an agricultural field in southern Ontario, Canada and analyzed against two hyperspectral datasets: An airborne Nano-Hyperspec imaging sensor with 270 bands (400-1000 nm) and a laboratory hyperspectral dataset (ASD FieldSpec 3) along the 1000-2500 nm range (NIR-SWIR). In parallel, a multimethod modeling approach consisting of random forest, support vector machine, and partial least squares regression models was used to conduct band selections and to assess the validity of the selected bands. The multimethod model resulted in a selection of optimal band or regions over the VNIR and SWIR sensitive to SOC and potentially for mapping. The bands that achieved the highest respective importance values were 711-715, 727, 986-998, and 433-435 nm regions (VNIR); and 2365-2373, 2481-2500, and 2198-2206 nm (NIR-SWIR). Some of these bands are in agreement with the absorption features of SOC reported in the literature, whereas others have not been reported before. Ultimately, the selection of optimal band and regions is of importance for quantification of agricultural SOC and would provide a new framework for creating optimized SOC-specific sensors.

Environmental change in the vicinity of the Neolithic wetland settlement Pestenacker (S-Germany) during the last 6600 years - Mayr, Christoph; Matzke-Karasz, Renate; Manthe, Pierre; Arnold, Johannes; Hänfling, Carolin; Hilber, Joachim; Spitzenberger, Dominik; Schmid, Wolfgang; Schönfeld, Guntram (Journal of Archaeological Science, 2015)
Pestenacker and the adjacent Neolithic wetland sites Unfriedshausen and Pestenacker-Nord in southern Germany belonged to the Altheim culture from around 5750-5350 years cal. BP. In contrast to contemporaneous pile dwellings, the houses of Pestenacker were constructed at ground level in a wetland environment. Only little is known about the environmental and hydrological conditions in the direct vicinity of the settlement and how they changed in time. To find detailed answers to these questions, stratigraphy, sedimentology, microfossils, geochemistry and stable isotopes of a sediment profile immediately to the west of the settlement were studied. An age model comprises five radiocarbon dates and dates the base of the profile to about 6600 years cal. BP. Ostracods and aquatic gastropods were frequent only in the basal part of the profile. Ostracod taxa typical for open-water conditions point to higher humidity especially at 6120-5860 years cal. BP and 5750-5370 years cal. BP. Sedimentology and organic carbon isotope data confirm this observation. Thereafter open-water habitats disappeared, while increasing numbers of non-aquatic gastropods occur and soil formation is indicated by elevated δ15N values. We conclude that during the time of settlement an open water body existed near-by that disappeared shortly after the settlement was abandoned. However, the spatial extent of this water body still remains to be clarified.

Environmental Changes Affecting the Andes of Ecuador - Peters, Thorsten; Drobnik, Thomas; Meyer, Hanna; Rankl, Melanie; Richter, Michael; Rollenbeck, Rütger; Thies, Boris; Bendix, Jörg (Ecosystem services, Biodiversity and Environmental Change in a Tropical Mountain Ecosystem of South Ecuador. Ecological Studies, 2013)
Global terrestrial biodiversity is strongly affected by expanding land use, climate change and nitrogen deposition. This holds especially true for tropical forests which already show large changes due mainly to land use activities. The extent of land use in Ecuador has increased considerably during the last century. An extensive network of primary and secondary roads now opens up most of the western and central areas of the country, while parts of the Oriente have been converted into protected areas. Concerning climate change warming is predicted to be moderate for western Ecuador, while the eastern part of the country will suffer from rising temperatures that will affect a floristic region harbouring one of the global diversity hotspots for vascular plant species. Changes in precipitation are expected to be spatially much less cohesive, with increasing and decreasing amounts of precipitation being unevenly distributed throughout the Andes. The spatial distribution and temporal dynamics of precipitation and wind also regulate the deposition of rainwater-dissolved matter in the mountain ecosystem which results from biomass burning in Amazonia. In this chapter, our current knowledge as to the past development of these major threats of the ecosystem will be discussed focusing on the study area South Ecuador.

Environmental correlates with violent injury - Walker, Blake; Schuurman, Nadine (Geomatica, 2012)
Violence is a significant contributor to the global burden of injury, posing a public health challenge. With the goal of informing policy decisions, this work uses a combination of GIS and environmental scans to identify features of the built environment that correlate with areas of high violent injury incidence. Hotspots in the Metro Vancouver area were identified using kernel density estimation. Possible environmental correlates to violent injury were culled from a detailed literature review; teams then travelled to each hotspot to record which of the correlates were present (e.g., alcohol-serving establishments, high density housing). Several suspected features of the built urban environment were found to be present in the majority of hotspots, the most prevalent being alcohol-serving establishments. Using the Vancouver Area Neighbourhood Deprivation Index, a high proportion of hotspots were found to be in or near socially deprived neighbourhoods. However, the findings suggest that violent injury is a geographically complex phenomenon whose links to the built environment are multiscalar and varied. First steps are taken towards developing profiles of violent urban spaces, with ultimate goal of making our cities safer physical and social spaces<br

Environmental management and the reshaping and respacing of livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa: a short commentary on recent trends and conceptual ideas - Krüger, Fred; Samimi, Cyrus (African Geographical Review, 2019)
In recent years, many regions in sub-Saharan Africa have experienced growing contestations of existing livelihood practices and massive environmental change.This has been accompanied by what has sometimes been described as a 'respacing' of Africa, i.e. an increasing blurriness of the nation state and social relationships becoming more and more interconnected on the local to global scales, rendering conventional concepts of space and territory obsolete. In this introductory essay, we briefly discuss notions of this 'respacing' process, highlight its validity but also its ambiguity, and thus lay the ground for the ensuing compilation of papers on social, environmental, and spatial change in sub-Saharan Africa.

Environmental Microsegregation: Urban Renewal and the Political Ecology of Health - Geiselhart, Klaus; Spenger, David (Urban Planning, 2023)
In recent years, multiple-burden maps were developed as a tool for assessing environmental health inequities in cities. Maps of this kind are particularly useful in identifying disadvantaged neighbourhoods. In the case of Erlangen (Germany), the historical development of poorer neighbourhoods may mean that their situation as regards environmental assets is relatively favourable. However, urban renewal often precipitates the redistribution of environmental "goods" and "bads" in such a way as to place a disproportionate burden on socio-economically deprived people and privilege the better-off. This type of environmental microsegregation occurs on a scale below that of neighbourhoods, which means that newly developed approaches in urban geography may fail to identify it. This article details the roots of these processes in changes in the structure of ownership and the respective administration of housing and considers possible methods for monitoring these tendencies.

Environments at the MIS 3/2 transition in the northern Alps and their foreland - Stojakowits, Philipp; Mayr, Christoph; Ivy-Ochs, Susan; Preusser, Frank; Reitner, Jürgen M.; Spötl, Christoph (Quaternary international, 2020)
This paper reviews the current state of knowledge about environmental changes at the MIS 3/2 transition in the northern Alps and their foreland, covering the time frame from 35 to 25 ka. Lake and peat deposits, cave sediments, loess and glacial deposits are presented and the response of their biotic and abiotic proxies to climate change is discussed. During late MIS 3, interstadial conditions, albeit weak, occurred at c. 36–32 ka. At climatically favourable sites, small patches of trees (mainly Pinus and some Betula) existed together with some shrubs. The environmental conditions during late MIS 3 are also reflected by a boreal brown soil horizon, a cambisol called Lohne soil, found in many loess sequences. Subsequently, the environmental conditions became harsher as shown by the proxy data. From c. 30 ka onwards the absence of pedogenesis sensu stricto and the plant assemblages point to an Arctic climate in the northern Alpine foreland. Accentuating, glaciers advanced beyond the northern limit of the Alps around the MIS 3/2 boundary and reached their maximum extent in the foreland at about 25 ka.

Epidemiological and spatial characteristics of interpersonal physical violence in a Brazilian city: A comparative study of violent injury hotspots in familial versus non-familial settings, 2012-2014 - Barbosa, Kevan Guilherme Nóbrega; Walker, Blake; Schuurman, Nadine; Cavalcanti, Sérgio D’Ávila Lins Bezerra; Ferreira e Ferreira, Efigênia; Ferreira, Raquel Conceição (PLoS ONE, 2019)
This study explores both epidemiological and spatial characteristics of domestic and community interpersonal violence. We evaluated three years of violent trauma data in the medium-sized city of Campina Grande in North-Eastern Brazil. 3559 medical and police records were analysed and 2563 cases were included to identify socioeconomic and geographic patterns. The associations between sociodemographic, temporal, and incident characteristics and domestic violence were evaluated using logistic regression. Using Geographical Information Systems (GIS), we mapped victims’ household addresses to identify spatial patterns. We observed a higher incidence of domestic violence among female, divorced, or co-habitant persons when the violent event was perpetrated by males. There was only a minor chance of occurrence of domestic violence involving firearms. 8 out of 10 victims of domestic violence were women and the female/male ratio was 3.3 times greater than that of community violence (violence not occurring in the home). Unmarried couples were twice as likely to have a victim in the family unit (OR = 2.03), compared to married couples. Seven geographical hotspots were identified. The greatest density of hotspots was found in the East side of the study area and was spatially coincident with the lowest average family income. Aggressor sex, marital status, and mechanism of injury were most associated with domestic violence, and low-income neighbourhoods were coincident with both domestic and non-domestic violence hotspots. These results provide further evidence that economic poverty may play a significant role in interpersonal, and particularly domestic violence.

"Erfahrung" wider die kulturtheoretische Weltvergessenheit. Über Performativität, Posthermeneutik, das Asemiotische und die Grenze der Differenztheorie - Geiselhart, Klaus (Berichte zur Deutschen Landeskunde, 2012)
Referring to the semiotic of Eco, ideas of the asemotic, critical reviews of difference theory and Mersch's posthermeneutic this article argues for social sciences not to overemphasise theory of signs. Deweys concept of experience shows why people from a pedagogical and psychological standpoint have positive notions about their truths they believe in. Pragmatists see all notions as deriving from dealings with material, social or intellectual objects of the world and always as focussing on practical tasks that are at hand. Notions through experience become somehow fixed and compulsory with an individual or a group. This can not be covered by the binary concept of identity and alternity, which is called difference. Furthermore, the concept of experience will be explained as a tool for guiding field work in order to analyse the performativity of social events.
