Here, we show that Neotropical montane rainforests respond rapidly to moderate additions of N (50 kg ha(-1) yr(-1)) and P (10 kg ha(-1) yr(-1)). Monitoring of nutrient fluxes demonstrated that the majority of added nutrients remained in the system, in either soil or vegetation. N and P additions led to not only an increase in foliar N and P concentrations, but also altered soil microbial biomass, standing fine root biomass, stem growth, and litterfall. The different effects suggest that trees are primarily limited by P, whereas some processes-notably aboveground productivity--are limited by both N and P. Highly variable and partly contrasting responses of different tree species suggest marked changes in species composition and diversity of these forests by nutrient inputs in the long term. The unexpectedly fast response of the ecosystem to moderate nutrient additions suggests high vulnerability of tropical montane forests to the expected increase in nutrient inputs."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0047128"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150124"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23071734"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/8325"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6854"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.rights","CC BY 2.5"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5"],["dc.title","Tropical Andean Forests Are Highly Susceptible to Nutrient Inputs—Rapid Effects of Experimental N and P Addition to an Ecuadorian Montane Forest"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Methods We studied the forest dynamics (tree diameter growth, tree mortality and recruitment) of this unique forest ecosystem over a 5-year period by repeated censuses in 12 permanent plots established along a flooding gradient. Results The cumulative basal area in the plots increased by 0.84 (±0.45) m2∙ha–1∙yr–1 (mean ±SD) in the annually-flooded (AF) plots in lower terrain and by 0.69 (±1.00) m2∙ha–1∙yr–1 in the higher non-annually flooded (NAF) plots, corresponding to an aboveground biomass increase of 0.81 (±0.57) and 0.69 (±1.58) Mg∙ha–1∙yr–1 in the AF and NAF plots, indicating a recent carbon sink in the biomass. Mean diameter growth rate was 1.8 (±0.44) mm∙yr–1 in the AF and 2.0 (±0.56) mm∙yr–1 in the NAF plots (corresponding to a coarse wood production of 1.53 (±1.29) and 2.02 (±0.52) Mg∙ha–1∙yr–1), indicating no flooding effect on radial growth. Mean mortality rates in the 5-year period were 1.9 (±0.37)%∙yr–1 in the AF plots and 1.8 (±0.87)%∙yr–1 in the NAF plots with no differences along the flooding gradient. Highest mortalities were registered in the AF plots for the 10–20 cm dbh class (2.4%∙yr–1), likely as a consequence of flooding, and in the NAF plots for the 40–50 cm dbh class (3.0%∙yr–1), probably mainly caused by ENSO-related droughts. Conclusions We conclude that these drought-affected tropical floodplain forests have a lower standing biomass and aboveground productivity than central Amazonian floodplain forests in more humid climates, and the imprint of the flooding gradient on stand dynamics is relatively weak, which may result from the lower flooding height and the interaction of flooding with low nutrient supply and periodic drought."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s40663-017-0097-8"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/14759"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/12584"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Stand dynamics of the drought-affected floodplain forests of Araguaia River, Brazilian Amazon"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The loss of their important environmental services has prompted calls to integrate ecosystem services (ES) in addition to socio-economic objectives in decision-making. To test the effect of accounting for both ES and socio-economic objectives in land-use decisions, we develop a new dynamic approach to model deforestation scenarios for tropical mountain forests. We integrate multi-objective optimization of land allocation with an innovative approach to consider uncertainty spaces for each objective. These uncertainty spaces account for potential variability among decision-makers, who may have different expectations about the future. When optimizing only socio-economic objectives, the model continues the past trend in deforestation (1975–2015) in the projected land-use allocation (2015–2070). Based on indicators for biomass production, carbon storage, climate and water regulation, and soil quality, we show that considering multiple ES in addition to the socio-economic objectives has heterogeneous effects on land-use allocation. It saves some natural forest if the natural forest share is below 38%, and can stop deforestation once the natural forest share drops below 10%. For landscapes with high shares of forest (38%–80% in our study), accounting for multiple ES under high uncertainty of their indicators may, however, accelerate deforestation. For such multifunctional landscapes, two main effects prevail: (a) accelerated expansion of diversified non-natural areas to elevate the levels of the indicators and (b) increased landscape diversification to maintain multiple ES, reducing the proportion of natural forest. Only when accounting for vascular plant species richness as an explicit objective in the optimization, deforestation was consistently reduced. Aiming for multifunctional landscapes may therefore conflict with the aim of reducing deforestation, which we can quantify here for the first time. Our findings are relevant for identifying types of landscapes where this conflict may arise and to better align respective policies."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/gcb.15003"],["dc.identifier.eissn","1365-2486"],["dc.identifier.issn","1354-1013"],["dc.identifier.scopus","2-s2.0-85079369218"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/76396"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/112446"],["dc.identifier.url","http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85079369218&partnerID=MN8TOARS"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.relation.issn","1365-2486"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Forstökonomie und nachhaltige Landnutzungsplanung"],["dc.rights","CC BY-ND 4.0"],["dc.title","Accounting for multiple ecosystem services in a simulation of land‐use decisions: Does it reduce tropical deforestation?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here, we quantify aboveground biomass (AGB) and stem wood production, and examine the impact of soil chemistry on these parameters in mature tropical forest stands of the equatorial Andes in Ecuador. In 80 plots of 0.04 ha at four elevation levels (500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 m a.s.l., total sample area = 3.2 ha), we measured ten important soil chemical parameters, inventoried all trees ≥10 cm dbh and monitored stem diameter growth with dendrometer tapes in 32 plots. Top canopy height and stem density significantly decreased from 500 to 2,000 m, while tree basal area increased and AGB remained invariant (344 ± 17 Mg DM ha(-1), mean ± SE) with elevation. Wood specific gravity (WSG) showed a significant, but small, decrease. Stem wood production decreased from 4.5 to 3.2 Mg DM ha(-1) year(-1) along the transect, indicating a higher biomass turnover at lower elevations. The only soil variable that covaried with AGB was exchangeable K in the topsoil. WSG increased with decreases in N mineralisation rate, soil pH and extractable Ca and P concentrations. Structural equation modelling (SEM) revealed that nitrogen availability acts on stem wood production only indirectly through a negative relation between N mineralisation rate and WSG, and a positive effect of a lowered WSG on stem growth. The SEM analysis showed neither direct nor indirect effects of resin-extractable P on wood production, but a negative P influence on AGB. We conclude that nitrogen availability significantly influences productivity in these Andean forests, but both N and P are affecting wood production mainly indirectly through alterations in WSG and stem density; the growth-promoting effect of N is apparently larger than that of P."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00442-012-2295-y"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22410639"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/8816"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/16118"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.relation.eissn","1432-1939"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Effects of soil chemistry on tropical forest biomass and productivity at different elevations in the equatorial Andes"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In a transect from upper lowland to montane forests in NE Ecuador, we tested the hypotheses that (1) the availability of P is low in low-elevation forests but increases upslope, while the availability of N is relatively high at low elevations but decreases with elevation, and (2) increasing amounts of calcium, magnesium and potassium are stored on top of the soil with progressive humus accumulation toward higher elevations, likely to improve nutrient availability. In each 20 plots in undisturbed natural forest at 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 m a.s.l., we measured in situ N net mineralization and nitrification rate (N(NM) and N(NI), buried bag method), plant-available phosphorus (P(a), resin-bag method), and salt-exchangeable calcium, potassium and magnesium concentrations (Ca(ex), K(ex), Mg(ex)) in the organic and mineral topsoils. N(NM) and N(NI), and the Ca(ex), K(ex) and Mg(ex) concentrations were much more variable at the plot level than across the four elevations, while P(a) varied equally at small and large spatial scales. P(a) increased more than 10fold from 500 to 2000 m. The net release of nitrate dominated over ammonium at all elevations. While mass-related N(NM) and N(NI) rates and also organic matter C/N ratio in the topsoil remained invariant along the slope, N(NM) and N(NI) rates per ground area decreased by about 40% from 500 to 2000 m. Thus, the N(NM)/P(a) ratio decreased markedly with elevation proving our first hypothesis. In support of the second hypothesis, the pools of Ca(ex), Mg(ex) and K(ex) in the organic layers increased with elevation, demonstrating the key role that organic topsoil horizons are playing for forest nutrition at high elevations.

Analysis of trait variance partitioning across the 52 tree species revealed for most traits a dominant influence of phylogeny, except for SLA, leaf thickness and foliar Ca, where elevation was most influential. The community-level means of SLA, foliar N and Ca, and foliar N/P ratio decreased with elevation, while leaf thickness and toughness increased. The contribution of intraspecific variation was substantial at the community level in most traits, yet smaller than the interspecific component. Both within-species and between-species trait variation did not change systematically with elevation.

Most larvae were collected on shrubs or trees, but more unusual host plant affiliations, such as ferns (6 geometrid species) and lichens (3 geometrid species), were also recorded. Thirty-four percent of the caterpillars were infested by wasp or tachinid parasitoids."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1673/031.010.6701"],["dc.identifier.fs","571760"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20672985"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7260"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/60392"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1536-2442"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.mesh","Animals"],["dc.subject.mesh","Behavior, Animal"],["dc.subject.mesh","Ecosystem"],["dc.subject.mesh","Ecuador"],["dc.subject.mesh","Host-Parasite Interactions"],["dc.subject.mesh","Larva"],["dc.subject.mesh","Moths"],["dc.subject.mesh","Plants"],["dc.subject.mesh","Species Specificity"],["dc.subject.mesh","Wasps"],["dc.title","Caterpillars and host plant records for 59 species of Geometridae (Lepidoptera) from a montane rainforest in southern Ecuador."],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
