Soil Ecology deals with the interactions among soil organisms and between such organisms and the environment. Soil Ecology has gained increasing attention d- ing the past years and has contributed to the understanding of ecological processes in many ecosystems. Wetlands, which are unique and very sensitive ecosystems, function as a habitat for many organisms, including soil organisms. Although information on soil ecological processes in wetlands is still lacking, such kno- edge is very much needed for landscape planning purposes and for climate change predictions. This book on the ecology of wetland soils in Central Europe focuses on wetlands as habitats for soil organisms, on soil ecological processes in fens and floodplains, on carbon and nitrogen dynamics in soils with different water regimes, and on trace gas emissions. Papers are based on presentations made at a workshop on soil ecological p- cesses in wetlands held at the Centre for Agricultural Landscape and Land Use Research (ZALF) in Mi. incheberg, Germany in 1998. This workshop was organised by the Working Group on Soil Ecology of the German Soil Society. The production of this book was accomplished with much valuable assistance. Manuscripts were reviewed, and constructive suggestions made, by Karl-Georg Bernardt (Vienna, Austria), Hans-Peter Blume (Kiel, Germany), Wolfram Dunger (Gorlitz, Germany), Karl-Heinz Feger (Dresden, Germany), Catherine Fox (L- don, Canada), Thomas Katterer (Uppsala, Sweden), Christian Knoblauch (Bremen, Germany), Pertti Martikainen (Kuopio, Finland), Heinz-Ulrich Neue (Halle, G- many), William H.

This volume focuses on interaction between vegetation, relief, climate, soil and fauna in the treeline ecotone, and the effects of climate change and land use in North America and Europe.

Mountain ecosystems belong to the most endangered ecosystems in the world. Especially, the treeline ecotone acts as an indicator for environmental change. However, ecological processes in the treeline ecotone are not yet completely understood. The studies provided in this book may contribute to a better understanding of the interactions between vegetation, climate, fauna, and soils in the treeline ecotone. An introductory chapter is given on plants living under extreme conditions, climate change aspects, and methods for characterization of alpine soils. The following articles focus on mountainous areas in America, Europe and Asia. The Working Group on Mountain and Northern Ecosystems at the Insti- te of Landscape Ecology, University of Munster (Germany), has been working on topics related to the treeline ecotone for several decades. This period under the chairmanship of Friedrich-Karl Holtmeier has come to an end now when he retired in 2004. He initiated numerous studies in high mountains and in the North. Many of his students, who became infected by the mountain virus, will continue these investigations on ecological processes in the altitudinal and northern treeline ecotones. With this compilation of studies in mountain ecosystems we want to thank Friedrich-Karl Holtmeier for his excellent guidance in these cold and fascinating environments."

Wetlands are very sensitive ecosystems, functioning as habitat for many organisms. Protection and regeneration of wetlands are of great importance in ecological research and in nature conservation. A great amount of research has been done on the hydrology, plants and animals in wetlands. Knowledge on soil organisms and soil ecological processes of wetlands is still lacking. This knowledge is highly needed for landscape planning purposes or climate change predictions. For climate change, trace gas emissions from wetlands are of great interest. The authors provide an overview of state-of-the-art on soil ecology of wetlands. The book is divided in the following main chapters: "Wetlands as habitats for soil organisms", "Soil ecological processes in fens and floodplains", "Carbon and nitrogen dynamics in soils with different water regimes" and "Trace gas emissions".

Das Buch gibt einen Uberblick uber aktuelle Forschungsprojekte, die sich mit Bodenorganismen, bodenokologischen Prozessen und Standortentwicklung sowohl auf landwirtschaftlich als auch auf forstlich rekultivierten Bergbaukippen und -halden in Deutschland befassen. In einem einleitenden Ubersichtskapitel werden diese Schwerpunkte am Beispiel der Sophienhohe im Rheinischen Braunkohlerevier dargestellt. In den folgenden Kapiteln haben Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Teildisziplinen das aktuelle Wissen zusammengetragen und noch offene Fragen zur Rekultivierung in Bergbaufolgelandschaften aufgezeigt sowie Losungsansatze vorgestellt. Neben Grundlagenuntersuchungen zu Bodenorganismen und Stoffumsatzprozessen werden Anwendungsbeispiele gegeben und Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet. Regionale Schwerpunkte liegen auf dem Lausitzer und dem Rheinischen Braunkohlerevier. Weitere Kapitel behandeln methodische Probleme bei der Untersuchung von kohlehaltigen Braunkohlekippsubstraten."
