Methods were a remote sense guided mapping of the present landuse and the vegetation formations, as well as retrospective conclusions about earlier landscape structures based upon an interpretation of historical air-photographs. Data about the agrosocial situation and the intensity of grassland farming were sampled by interviews. The own results are discussed in the context of the existing bibliographic records dealing with landscape transformations in both mountain areas. Both regions are quite identical regarding spatial patterns in the plant cover and in the percentages covered by forests, pasture ground and meadows.

Because of their high species richness they are of great interest for nature conservation. During the second half of this century the utilization of these areas became uneconomic and so they decreased considerably in area due to the abandonment of great parts of these formerly widespread plant communities. Nowadays the areas which have been set aside as nature reserves are also undergoing undesirable changes. Today the most severe threat to the existence of calcareous grassland communities is eutrophication. The main sources of nutrient input are the atmosphere and agroecosystems. Eutrophication causes changes in species composition and phytomass production. In this article it is shown that a gradient in nutrient availability along transects from farmland into calcareous grasslands corresponds to a gradient in aerial net primary production of the plant stands and a decrease in plant number.","PeriodicalId":427812,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Nature Conservation & Landscape Research","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132681274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of contact time, the activated temperatures of absorbent and equilibrium pH on the chemical absorption of SO 2 were examined. For calcite the maximum amount of absorbed SO 2 in the liquid phase was found to be 8.9 g (activated at 600°C), for 10 g absorbent/250 mL water, and in the solid phase, it was found to be 7.5 g (activated at 1000°C).

Forest floor plants are exposed to differing levels of stress from UV-B radiation depending on the ecological niche they occupy. As expected, there were clear differences in the concentration of UV absorbing pigments in leaves along an elevational gradient between the spring geophyte exposed to full radiation and the species growing in forest shade after frondescing. With A. nemorosa there was a qualitative and quantitative variation in the absorption of methanolic leaf extracts in the UV-B radiation range. The correlation between the absorption at 280 and 320nm and the elevation of the sampling points was statistically highly significant.

Eight vegetation types of three fallow fields (ten years old) and two adjacent habitats near Greifswald were distinguished using ecological-sociological species groups and their site conditions were determined. Dry-matter production, maximum height of herbs, humus and nitrogen content in the topsoil, nitrogen pool of the above-ground phytomass and various soil physical properties show a close correlation to the floristic gradient. A weaker correlation was found for the water content of the above-ground phytomass and potassium content in the topsoil.

The population of Kuwait multiplied over the years, and machinery and vehicles increased, resulting a high demand for agricultural commodities and construction materials for new cities.
