Subject:
General Circulation Models; atmospheric precipitation; climate; climate change; meteorology; temperature; Germany; Nebraska
Abstract:
... The regional hydroclimatological effect of global climate change has been estimated and compared using a semi-empirical downscaling method with two versions (T21 and T42) of the general circulation model (GCM) developed at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Germany. The comparisons were performed with daily mean temperature and daily precipitation amounts for the continental climate of the ...

The discovery of a document from 1644 in the Museum Heineanum at Halberstadt (Germany) encouraged to collect, so far as possible, all complete records (date, place) of the Bee-eater (Merops apiaster) north of the Alps in the period between 1500 and 1800. Comparison with long term climate curbs proved, that the Bee-Eater is a sensitive indicator for mild winters and above-average spring temperature ...

Abstract:
... Our objective was to assess the effect of changes in rainfall amount and distribution on CO₂ emissions and dissolved organic C (DOC) leaching. We manipulated soil moisture, using a roof constructed below the canopy of a 65-yr-old Norway spruce plantation [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] at Solling, Germany. We simulated two scenarios: a prolonged summer drought of 172 d followed by a rewetting period of ...

Subject:
canopy gaps; climate change; climatic factors; decision making; drought tolerance; forest management; forest stands; forestry development; forests; simulation models; species diversity; trees; Germany
Abstract:
... In forest management there is frequently the need to make decisions with long-term consequences. Forests which are planted today may be exposed to a quite different climate within 50 to 100 years. To date, very few investigations have analysed the impacts of the projected climate changes in managed forests. Consequently there is a need for improved decision support for the development of forest ma ...

Abstract:
... Data from a standardized mist-netting programme (the so-called “MRI-Programm”) were used to assess the timing of breeding in Reed Warblers (Acrocephalus scirpaceus) at Lake Constance (South Germany). The number of Reed Warblers fledged early in the season increased significantly between 1976 and 1997 (rₛ=0.614; p<0.01). This is most probably due to a long-term increase in spring temperature as sug ...

Windows delineating tolerable or "acceptable" conditions associated with climate change can be defined in terms of a variety of parameters; a preliminary window offered by the Scientific Advisory Council on Global Change of the Federal Government of Germany sets limits on temperature change and the rate of temperature change. Investment in adaptation can alter the size and shape of these windows, ...

Three of these can be correlated with previously described tephra horizons from the Faroe Islands: the Saksunarvatn tephra (c. 9000 BP), the Hekla-4 (c. 3800 BP) and Hekla-Selsund (c. 3600 BP). A previously unrecorded ba ...

Abstract:
... Models of phenology are needed for the projection of effects of a changing climate on, for example, forest production, species competition, vegetation-atmosphere feedback and public health. A new phenology model for deciduous tree bud burst is developed and parameters are determined for a wide geographical range (Germany) and several forest tree species. The new model is based on considerations of ...

Abstract:
... Recent climate changes have had distinct impacts on plant development in many parts of the world. Higher air temperatures, mainly since the end of the 1980s, have led to advanced timing of phenological phases and consequently to an extension of the general growing season. For this reason it is interesting to know how plants will respond to future climate change. In this study simple phenological m ...
