The two largest districts are located in geographically opposite regions: The Rhineland in the western part and Lusatia in the east of Germany. As particularly these two mining districts will experience severe changes in their socioeconomic as well environmental conditions, the federal government has adopted comprehensive economic support measures. However, the environmental changes will also cause altered ecosystem functions and services to be provided by the future post-mining landscapes. Results In this paper, the two main lignite-producing regions of Germany are compared with regard to their natural and cultural settings. The economic situation and its history are reflected and differences are outlined. Part of the disparities in the cultural development can be explained by very different natural conditions, especially edaphic factors and climatic situation. Because of dissimilar geological settings, different mining technologies were developed and are in use in the two regions with distinct effects on the resulting post-mining landscapes. Conclusion The long-standing and manifold lignite mining activities have radically restructured the landscapes in Lusatia and the Rhineland. With the ongoing decline of the mining industry and its complete cessation, presumably within the next decade, both regions will alter their faces significantly. These changes offer both challenges but also opportunities with respect to the post-mining landscapes and their ecosystem services they are going to provide. The prerequisites for a positive socioeconomic development and for sustainable land-use concepts that also consider ecological aspects are different for both regions.

(2023) compare the two main lignite producing regions of Germany in terms of their natural and cultural environments. The economic situation and its history are reflected and differences are outlined. Part of the differences in cultural development can be explained by the natural conditions, especially the edaphic factors and the climatic situation. Because of the specific geological settings, tailored mining technologies were developed and used in the two regions, with different effects on the resulting post-mining landscapes. We conclude that the landscapes of Lusatia and the Rhineland have been radically restructured by the long and varied history of lignite mining. Both regions will change significantly as the mining industry continues to decline and is expected to cease altogether within the next decade. These changes in the post-mining landscapes and the ecosystem services will provide both challenges and opportunities. The preconditions for positive socio-economic development and for sustainable land use concepts that also consider ecological aspects are different for the two regions. The exchange of knowledge and experience between the two mining regions is crucial to the success of this major transformation process, despite, or perhaps because of, these differences.

With theoretical calculations of Pout and PAE, and the detailed analysis of transistors and structures, a 1500 Ω/□ parasitic conductive interface (PCI) between the GaN substrate and the epitaxial layers was identified as a root cause. GaN substrates suffer from environmental Si contamination forming such a PCI. It was first detected by eddy current measurements showing that the insulating GaN:Fe buffer and GaN:Mn substrate did not effectively suppress the PCI. Nevertheless, it was effectively isolated by the GaN:Fe buffer to maintain a good DC performance for GaN-on-GaN HEMTs and allowing for a record gm-max of 535 mS mm⁻¹. The S-parameters confirmed this and indicated that the PCI causes a feed-back effect, reducing the k-point and fmax. Furthermore, loading effects were revealed on the ports of the HEMTs due to the PCI's resistive nature, and coplanar waveguide measurements showed 5 dB mm⁻¹ of propagation loss and severe changes in the characteristic impedance.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SutLohmannRepmannFischeretal., author = {Sut-Lohmann, Magdalena and Repmann, Frank and Fischer, Thomas and Raab, Thomas}, title = {Retardation of iron-cyanide complexes in soils of a former Manufactured Gas Plant site}, series = {Book of abstracts, XII International Congress of Young Chemists, YoungChem2014, Szczecin, Poland 8th-12th October 2014}, booktitle = {Book of abstracts, XII International Congress of Young Chemists, YoungChem2014, Szczecin, Poland 8th-12th October 2014}, address = {Warsaw}, isbn = {978-83-61037-28-6}, pages = {S. 44}, language = {en} } @techreport{ThonickeRahnerArnethetal., author = {Thonicke, Kirsten and Rahner, Eva and Arneth, Almut and Bartkowski, Bartosz and Bonn, Aletta and D{\"o}hler, Christian and Finger, Robert and Freitag, Jens and Grosch, Rita and Grossart, Hans-Peter and Gr{\"u}tzmacher, Kim and Hartman Scholz, Amber and H{\"a}user, Christoph and Hickler, Thomas and H{\"o}lker, Franz and J{\"a}hnig, Sonja C. and Jeschke, Jonathan and Kassen, Rees and Kastner, Thomas and Kramer-Schadt, Stephanie and Krug, Cornelia and Lakner, Sebastian and Loft, Lasse and Matzdorf, Bettina and Meakins, Felicity and De Meester, Luc and Monaghan, Michael T. and M{\"u}ller, Daniel and Overmann, J{\"o}rg and Quaas, Martin and Radchuk, Viktoriia and Reyer, Christopher and Roos, Christian and Scholz, Imme and Schroer, Sibylle and Sioen, Giles Bruno and Sommer, Simone and Sommerwerk, Nike and Tockner, Klement and Turk, Zachary and Warner, Barbara and W{\"a}tzold, Frank and Wende, Wolfgang and Veenstra, Tonjes and Voort, Hein van de}, title = {10 Must-Knows aus der Biodiversit{\"a}tsforschung}, publisher = {Potsdam-Institut f{\"u}r Klimafolgenforschung e.V.

The risk of groundwater contamination depends mainly on the dissolution of ferric ferrocyanide. In order to design effective reme- diation strategies, it is relevant to understand the contaminant's fate and transport in soil, and to quantify and mathe- matically model a release rate. The release of iron-cyanide complexes from four contaminated soils, originating from the former MGP in Cottbus, has been studied by using a column experiment. Results indicated that long-term cyanide (CN) release is governed by two phases: one readily dissolved and one strongly fixed. Different isotherm and kinetic equations were used to investigate the driving mechanisms for the ferric ferrocyanide release. Applying the isotherm equations assumed an approach by which two phases were separate in time, whereas the multiple first order equation considered simultaneous occurrence of both cyanide pools. Results indicated varying CN release rates according to the phase and soil. According to isotherm and kinetic models, the long-term iron cyanide release from the MGP soils is a complex phenomenon driven by various mechanisms parallely involving desorption, diffusion and transport processes. Phase I (rapid release) is presumably mainly constrained by the transport process of readily dissolved iron-cyanide complexes combined with desorption of CN bound to reactive heterogeneous surfaces that are in direct contact with the aqueous phase (outer-sphere complexation). Phase II (limited rate) is presumably driven by the diffusion controlled processes involving dissolution of precipitated ferric ferrocyanide from the mineral or inner-sphere complexation of fer- ricyanides. CN release rates in phase I and II were mainly influenced by the pH, organic matter (OM) and the total CN content. The cyanide release rates increased with increasing pH, decreased with low initial CN concentration and were retarded by the increase in OM content.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SutLohmannFischerRepmannetal., author = {Sut-Lohmann, Magdalena and Fischer, Thomas and Repmann, Frank and Raab, Thomas}, title = {Feasibility of field portable near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to determine cyanide concentrations in soil}, series = {European Geosciences Union, General Assembly 2013, Vienna, Austria, 07 - 12 April 2013}, booktitle = {European Geosciences Union, General Assembly 2013, Vienna, Austria, 07 - 12 April 2013}, publisher = {European Geophysical Society}, address = {Katlenburg-Lindau}, abstract = {In Germany, at more than 1000 sites, soil is polluted with an anthropogenic contaminant in form of iron-cyanide complexes. These contaminations are caused by former Manufactured Gas Plants (MGPs), where electricity for lighting was produced in the process of coal gasification. The production of manufactured gas was restrained in 1950, which caused cessation of MGPs. Our study describes the application of Polychromix Handheld Field Portable Near-Infrared (NIR) Analyzer to predict the cyanide concentrations in soil. In recent times, when the soil remediation is of major importance, there is a need to develop rapid and non-destructive methods for contaminant determination in the field. In situ analysis enables determination of 'hot spots', is cheap and time saving in comparison to laboratory methods. This paper presents a novel usage of NIR spectroscopy, where a calibration model was developed, using multivariate calibration algorithms, in order to determine NIR spectral response to the cyanide concentration in soil samples.

In this project, eight institutions are investigating the ecological effects of wildfires and subsequent forest management strategies in pine forests (plantations) in Brandenburg (NE Germany), with the aim of formulating practical recommendations for managing fire-prone forests and the effective restoration of post-fire forest areas. We provide a brief overview of what is known about the effects of wildfire on abiotic and biotic parameters in temperate pine forests, as well as the effects of silvicultural treatments. To date, we know little about how different components of biodiversity are linked in post-fire forest ecosystems and how management affects their functioning. By describing the project, we illustrate the requirements for the implementation of such an applied research project. We emphasize the importance of the study design for dealing with interdisciplinary questions and for the quantitative synthesis of research results. The project comprises a set of standardised field plots in two wildfire areas covering different post-fire management options. Fifteen study sites were established, including two reference sites in unburned pine stands, each with ten study plots as replicates. In situ nitrogen mineralisation, litter decomposition tests and soil biological activity are used for soil biological characterisation. Microclimate data is measured continuously. Standing and lying dead wood and tree regeneration are recorded as key indicators of the success of forestry treatments. Further methods com-prise terrestrial laser scanning, remote sensing techniques as well as surveys of vegetation and above and below ground biomass. Identification of fruiting body-forming fungi, phytoparasites and ectomycorrhizal fungi is supported by marker gene sequencing. Faunistic indicators comprise predatory soil arthropods (pairs of emergence tents and soil traps), saproxylic beetles (flight traps and funnel traps), moths (automated window traps), mammals (camera traps), and breeding birds (visual and acoustic observation). We discuss the strengths and limitations of the project design. We are able to systematically capture short-term temporal shifts in parameters and trends in post-fire ecosystem development. Research in a real landscape with ongoing environmental changes and interventions pres-ents challenges for experimental design, data analysis and interpretation. The drivers of ecosystem development are rarely completely independent or perfectly balanced, and lack of replication is ine-vitable. The two fires did not occur in the same year and season, resulting in different initial conditions for the colonisation of the burned areas. Finally, a large part of one study area was again affected by a fire in 2022, which destroyed direct comparability with the other sites. Despite these obstacles the project has started to generate valuable results to address management and conservation challenges.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HenzeMoenicke, author = {Henze, Frank and M{\"o}nicke, Thomas}, title = {Ein modulares OpenSource GIS f{\"u}r arch{\"a}ologische und baugeschichtliche Forschungen}, series = {Entwicklerforum Geoinformationstechnik 2006 - Junge Wissenschaftler forschen, 27./28.
