At desolated landfills of coal combustion waste (CCW) that were un-covered and covered with shallow soil material layers, soil microbial indicators were estimated for both the ecological and eco-toxicological evaluation. The young CCW sites with pH values of 9.5 and substantial coal-derived organic carbon showed significant microbial biomass content and nitrogen mineralization rates. At the 0 to 15 year old landfills, the microbial biomass content and activities increased significantly with age. However, large spatial variations occurred due to the variation of the cover material thickness, the degree of ash-aging and the tillage practices. Carbon dioxide was even sequestered at young CCW sites as indicated during laboratory incubation with an open apparatus purging continuously ambient air. In accordance, the respiratory quotient went down to 0.03 mol CO2 evolution rate per mol O2 uptake rate, indicating that the CO2 evolution rate is limited as an overall quality indicator. Within 15 years, these 'Technosols' showed pH values of 7.7 and decalcified while changes in microbial biomass content and activity rates were mainly related to N availability. We concluded that the available As, B, Cr and Ni pollution at CCW sites seemed largely immobilised by organic matter and alkalinity and therefore did not to inhibit the microbial colonisation and development of high microbial activity within 15 years. However, the ash disposals pose a contamination risk by wind erosion and a future risk to human or environmental health when toxic metals will be released in soil at low pH values, low organic matter and low antagonistic ion contents.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchaafBensFischeretal., author = {Schaaf, Wolfgang and Bens, Oliver and Fischer, Anton and Gerke, Horst H. and Gerwin, Werner and Gr{\"u}newald, Uwe and Holl{\"a}nder, Hartmut M. and K{\"o}gel-Knabner, Ingrid and Mutz, Michael and Schloter, Michael and Schulin, Rainer and Veste, Maik and Winter, Susanne and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F.}, title = {Patterns and processes of initial terrestrial-ecosystem development}, series = {Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science}, volume = {174}, journal = {Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science}, number = {2}, issn = {1522-2624}, doi = {10.1002/jpln.201000158}, pages = {229 -- 239}, abstract = {Ecosystems are characterized as complex systems with abiotic and biotic processes interacting between the various components that have evolved over long-term periods. Most ecosystem studies so far have been carried out in mature systems. Only limited knowledge exists on the very initial phase of ecosystem development. Concepts on the development of ecosystems are often based on assumptions and extrapolations with respect to structure-process interactions in the initial stage. To characterize the effect of this initial phase on structure and functioning of ecosystems in later stages, it is necessary to disentangle the close interaction of spatial and temporal patterns of ecosystem structural assemblages with processes of ecosystem development. The study of initial, less complex systems could help to better identify and characterize coupled patterns and processes. This paper gives an overview of concepts for the initial development of different ecosystem compartments and identifies open questions and research gaps. The artificial catchment site "Chicken Creek" is introduced as a new research approach to investigate these patterns and processes of initial ecosystem development under defined boundary conditions. This approach allows to integrate the relevant processes with related pattern and structure development over temporal and spatial scales and to derive thresholds and stages in state and functioning of ecosystems at the catchment level.}, language = {en} } @misc{MazurSchoenheinzBiemeltetal., author = {Mazur, Kai and Schoenheinz, Dagmar and Biemelt, Detlef and Schaaf, D. and Gr{\"u}newald, Uwe}, title = {Observation of hydrological processes and structures in the artificial Chicken Creek catchment}, series = {Physics and Chemistry of the Earth}, volume = {36}, journal = {Physics and Chemistry of the Earth}, number = {1-4}, issn = {1873-5193}, pages = {74 -- 86}, language = {en} } @incollection{QuinkensteinSchultzeGruenewaldetal., author = {Quinkenstein, Ansgar and Schultze, Bernd and Gr{\"u}newald, Holger and W{\"o}llecke, Jens and Schneider, Bernd Uwe and Jochheim, Hubert and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F.}, title = {Landschafts{\"o}kologische Aspekte der Dendromasseproduktion - Analyse und Bewertung von Risiken und Vorteilswirkungen}, series = {DENROM - Zukunftsrohstoff Dendromasse : systemische Analyse, Leitbilder und Szenarien f{\"u}r die nachhaltige energetische und stoffliche Verwertung von Dendromasse aus Wald- und Agrarholz}, booktitle = {DENROM - Zukunftsrohstoff Dendromasse : systemische Analyse, Leitbilder und Szenarien f{\"u}r die nachhaltige energetische und stoffliche Verwertung von Dendromasse aus Wald- und Agrarholz}, editor = {Murach, Dieter and Knur, Lisa and Schultze, Mareike}, publisher = {Verlag Kessel}, address = {Remagen-Oberwinter}, isbn = {978-3-941300-05-7}, pages = {193 -- 204}, language = {de} } @incollection{SchildbachGruenewaldWolfetal., author = {Schildbach, Marek and Gr{\"u}newald, Holger and Wolf, Heino and Schneider, Bernd Uwe}, title = {Begr{\"u}ndung von Kurzumtriebsplantagen: Baumartenwahl und Anlageverfahren}, series = {Anbau und Nutzung von B{\"a}umen auf landwirtschaftlichen Fl{\"a}chen}, booktitle = {Anbau und Nutzung von B{\"a}umen auf landwirtschaftlichen Fl{\"a}chen}, editor = {Reeg, Tatjana and Bemmann, Albrecht and Konold, Werner and Murach, Dieter and Spiecker, Heinrich}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, isbn = {978-3-527-32417-0}, pages = {57 -- 72}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{DillyNiiAnnangBoehmetal., author = {Dilly, Oliver and Nii-Annang, Seth and B{\"o}hm, Christian and Gr{\"u}newald, Holger and Freese, Dirk and Schneider, Bernd Uwe and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F.}, title = {Agroforestry as an environmental technology for multiple purposes and for atmospheric carbon dioxide and nitrogen fixation in the sensitive region Lusatia}, series = {Impact Assessment of Land Use Changes, International Conference, 6-9 April 2008 in Berlin}, booktitle = {Impact Assessment of Land Use Changes, International Conference, 6-9 April 2008 in Berlin}, pages = {S. 220}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HuettlKoegelKnabnerZeyeretal., author = {H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F. and K{\"o}gel-Knabner, Ingrid and Zeyer, Josef and Munch, Jean Charles and Gr{\"u}newald, Uwe and Pretzsch, Hans and Schaaf, Wolfgang and Gerwin, Werner and Veste, Maik}, title = {Structures and processes of the initial ecosystem development phase in an artificial water catchment}, series = {Plant Life in an Extreme and Changing Environment, Book of Abstracts}, booktitle = {Plant Life in an Extreme and Changing Environment, Book of Abstracts}, pages = {89 -- 90}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WoelleckeGruenewaldSchneideretal., author = {W{\"o}llecke, Jens and Gr{\"u}newald, Holger and Schneider, Bernd Uwe and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F.}, title = {Alley-Cropping - Eine M{\"o}glichkeit der Etablierung von Biotopverbundstrukturen in der Agrarlandschaft?}, series = {Naturschutz und {\"O}kologie, ausgew{\"a}hlte Beitr{\"a}ge zur Gf{\"O}-Jahrestagung 2007 in Marburg}, booktitle = {Naturschutz und {\"O}kologie, ausgew{\"a}hlte Beitr{\"a}ge zur Gf{\"O}-Jahrestagung 2007 in Marburg}, publisher = {Bundesamt f{\"u}r Naturschutz}, address = {Bonn-Bad Godesberg}, isbn = {978-3-7843-3960-3}, pages = {73 -- 78}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{SchultzeQuinkensteinSchneideretal., author = {Schultze, Bernd and Quinkenstein, Ansgar and Schneider, Bernd Uwe and Scherzer, J{\"o}rg and Jochheim, Hubert and Gr{\"u}newald, Holger and H{\"u}ttl, Reinhard F.}, title = {Wirkung des Anbaus schnell wachsender Baumarten auf den Boden-Wasserhaushalt und die Kohlenstoffsequestrierung}, series = {Tagungsband der 1.
