Climate Change and Reduction of Soil Organic Layer Thickness Increases Drought Risk in Mountain Forests of the Northern Alps

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background On ca. 10% of the forested sites in the Bavarian Alps (Germany) mountain, forest soils (so‐called folic histosols) are characterized by thick organic layers overlying poorly weathered calcareous parent material. Aim These organic layers play a critical role in releasing water and nutrients for vegetation, yet they are also sensitive

European classes for the reaction to fire performance of wood products

open access: yes, 2006
The new classification system for the reaction to fire performance of building products in Europe has been applied to five different product families of wood: Wood-based panels, Structural timber, Glued laminated timber, Solid wood panelling and cladding

Temperature Sensitivity of the Humus Form Tangel

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tangel is an important humus form in mountain forests, particularly in areas of carbonate rock. To gain an initial understanding of its sensitivity to rising temperatures, a respiration experiment was conducted. The derived Q10 values (3.35–3.36) are comparatively high in relation to values reported in the literature, indicating that Tangel is

Experimental behavior of wood flooring systems

open access: yes, 1972
The main objective of the overall project which included this study is to develop a mathematical model of wood joist floor systems which incorporates the T-beam action between the joists and plywood sheathing and the effect of inter-layer slip. Results of tests of wood flooring systems which were constructed and load tested to verify the deflections ...

New constraints on the postglacial evolution of Lago Maggiore, Northern Italy

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lago Maggiore is situated in an overdeepened valley reach at the southern margin of the European Alps, and its thick sediment infill allows the reconstruction of the postglacial valley and lake evolution. We study here the sedimentary succession in the lower Ossola Valley, which is infilled by ~500 m of deposits. In a marginal position, a core

The rise and fall of a volcanic plateau: Landscape evolution at the fringes of the former Patagonian Ice Sheet, Meseta Chile Chico, central Patagonian Andes

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding Earth‐surface processes along the fringes of large ice sheets is integral to deciphering cold‐region environmental variability and anticipating slope instability under climate change. We investigate the Meseta Chile Chico, a volcanic plateau in the central Patagonian Andes, located at the eastern margin of the former Patagonian ...
