Therefore, numerous features that refer to frequency, polarisation, and texture were extracted from SAR data of different seasons. The aim was to develop a processing scheme that is feasible for semi-automated forest mapping and monitoring from SAR data at high spatial resolution and on annual scale. It was tested for seven study sites in Germany and Canada which represent different biomes and forest types. Results were validated against field observations and existing forest maps. The best performance for the German study sites was achieved with multitemporal Sentinel-1 backscatter data from the onset of the growing season with small incidence angle and VH polarisation, together with extracted textural features and TanDEM-X data. Producer’s accuracies for the forest class of the different study sites ranged from 88.4 to 98.0%. User’s accuracies ranged from 85.5 to 87.0%. Using Sentinel-1 data covering the whole growing season at a 12 day repetition rate, ascending and descending orbits and VV and VH polarisations led to comparable results.

In parts of Southeast Asia, conversion of natural forest to cacao agroforestry systems is an important driver of deforestation, resulting in C losses from biomass and soil to the atmosphere. This case study from Sulawesi, Indonesia, compares natural forest with nearby shaded cacao agroforests for all major above and belowground biomass C pools (n = 6 plots) and net primary production (n = 3 plots). Total biomass (above- and belowground to 250 cm soil depth) in the forest (approx. 150 Mg C ha−1) was more than eight times higher than in the agroforest (19 Mg C ha−1). Total net primary production (NPP, above- and belowground) was larger in the forest than in the agroforest (approx. 29 vs. 20 Mg dry matter (DM) ha−1 year−1), while wood increment was twice as high in the forest (approx. 6 vs. 3 Mg DM ha−1 year−1). The SOC pools to 250 cm depth amounted to 134 and 78 Mg C ha−1 in the forest and agroforest stands, respectively. Replacement of tropical moist forest by cacao agroforest reduces the biomass C pool by approximately 130 Mg C ha−1; another 50 Mg C ha−1 may be released from the soil.

The burning of biomass in slash-and-burn activities, in addition to burning fossil fuel result in higher rates of atmospheric deposition at forest and agricultural sites. An investigation of bulk depositions in Central Sulawesi was conducted at 13 field sites along a land use cover gradient that included natural and unused sites, slash-and-burn sites, and consolidated agricultural systems around and in the Lore Lindu National Park, an area of more than 2310 km(2). Bulk depositions rates were measured with passive ion exchange collectors. Our results show that Central Sulawesi generally experiences low deposition rates. Depositions that originate mainly from anthropogenic sources, such as nitrate, are very low, i.e. between 0.1 and 0.8 kg ha(-1) a(-1), but increase to 2.4 nitrate kg ha(-1) a(-1) near slash-and-burn areas. Similar patterns were found for elements such as potassium and calcium. Indeterminate depositions were found for geogenic elements such as iron, manganese and aluminium and in some cases phosphorus. A principal component analysis allowed differentiation between the contributions of different sources and different element to the total deposition impact in most cases. Specific deposition rates were recorded for different land use systems. The main factor that generated different deposition patterns was biomass burning resulting from slash-and-burn activities. The latter determined the composition of atmospheric depositions of nearby sites, but the more distant sites inside the national park do not appear to be influenced by these anthropogenic activities yet."],["dc.description.sponsorship","German Research Foundation (DFG) [SFB 552]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3112/erdkunde.2013.02.01"],["dc.identifier.isi","000324807900001"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/65017"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","0014-0015"],["dc.title","The effects of land use change on atmospheric nutrientdeposition in Central Sulawesi"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI WOS2004Book Chapter [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","327"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","349"],["dc.contributor.author","Waltert, Matthias"],["dc.contributor.author","Langkau, Maike"],["dc.contributor.author","Maertens, Miet"],["dc.contributor.author","Härtel, Michael"],["dc.contributor.author","Erasmi, Stefan"],["dc.contributor.author","Mühlenberg, Michael"],["dc.contributor.editor","Gerold, Gerhard"],["dc.contributor.editor","Fremerey, M."],["dc.contributor.editor","Guhardja, Edi"],["dc.date.accessioned","2020-05-12T08:32:54Z"],["dc.date.available","2020-05-12T08:32:54Z"],["dc.date.issued","2004"],["dc.description.abstract","Tropical deforestation and forest fragmentation are probably the most serious threats to biodiversity (see Turner 1996) and it has been theoretically stated that even the largest protected areas in the tropics might be too small to sustain populations of all species of the original system (Terborgh 1999). But species loss in forest fragments is a complex process and appears often only after considerable time lags, especially in vertebrates (Brooks et al. 1999b). Therefore, empirical evidence for such extinctions can only be obtained from areas with a long deforestation history and long-known faunal composition (e.g. van Balen 1999). Such empirical data are scarce but are essential in order to convince land use managers of the long-term effects of forest loss on biodiversity.

Potentially, ecosystems show nonlinear responses to land-use intensification that would open management options with limited ecological losses but satisfying economic gains. However, multidisciplinary studies to quantify ecological losses and socioeconomic tradeoffs under different management options are rare. Here, we evaluate opposing land use strategies in cacao agroforestry in Sulawesi, Indonesia, by using data on species richness of nine plant and animal taxa, six related ecosystem functions, and on socioeconomic drivers of agroforestry expansion. Expansion of cacao cultivation by 230% in the last two decades was triggered not only by economic market mechanisms, but also by rarely considered cultural factors. Transformation from near-primary forest to agroforestry had little effect on overall species richness, but reduced plant biomass and carbon storage by ≈75% and species richness of forest-using species by ≈60%. In contrast, increased land use intensity in cacao agroforestry, coupled with a reduction in shade tree cover from 80% to 40%, caused only minor quantitative changes in biodiversity and maintained high levels of ecosystem functioning while doubling farmers' net income. However, unshaded systems further increased income by ≈40%, implying that current economic incentives and cultural preferences for new intensification practices put shaded systems at risk. We conclude that low-shade agroforestry provides the best available compromise between economic forces and ecological needs.
