Before the onset of a re-grazing experiment vegetation and habitat types of the subalpine pasture Brunnenkopf (Ammergebirge, Bavaria, Germany) were examined and mapped. Vegetation plots with all vascular plants and their cover were recorded for each type. Vegetation types included alpine and subalpi…

Influence of rewetting on microbial communities involved in nitrification and denitrification in a grassland soil after a prolonged drought period. Scientific Reports, 9(1), . doi:10.1038/s41598-018-38147-5

AbstractThe frequency of extreme drought and heavy rain events during the vegetation period will increase in Central Europe according to future climate change scenarios, which will affect the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems in multiple ways. In this study, we simulated an extreme drought event…

Management versus site effects on the abundance of nitrifiers and denitrifiers in European mountain grasslands. Science of The Total Environment, 648(), 745-753. doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.08.039

It is well established that the abundances of nitrogen (N) transforming microbes are strongly influenced by land-use intensity in lowland grasslands. However, their responses to management change in less productive and less fertilized mountain grasslands are largely unknown. We studied eight mountai…

Hammerl V., Grant K., Pritsch K., Jentsch A., Schloter M., Beierkuhnlein C., Gschwendtner S. (2019). Seasonal Effects of Extreme Weather Events on Potential Extracellular Enzyme Activities in a Temperate Grassland Soil. Frontiers in Environmental Science, 6(), . doi:10.3389/fenvs.2018.00157

Magnitude and timing of precipitation events within the growing season might be decisive for alterations in potential extracellular enzyme activity (PEEA), with consequences for nutrient cycle, and carbon storage in grassland ecosystems. Pattern of PEEA catalyzing major steps of the carbon cycle (β-…

Kreyling J., Grant K., Hammerl V., Arfin-Khan M., Malyshev A., Peñuelas J., Pritsch K., Sardans J., Schloter M., Schuerings J., Jentsch A., Beierkuhnlein C. (2019). Winter warming is ecologically more relevant than summer warming in a cool-temperate grassland. Scientific Reports, 9(1), . doi:10.1038/s41598-019-51221-w

AbstractClimate change affects all seasons, but warming is more pronounced in winter than summer at mid- and high latitudes. Winter warming can have profound ecological effects, which are rarely compared to the effects of summer warming, and causal explanations are not well established. We compared …
