Element Fluxes with Litterfall in Mature Stands of Norway Spruce and European Beech in Bavaria, South Germany
Litterfall is the largest natural inflow of organic material and nutrients to the forest floor and in most European forests is dominated by that from the trees. The chemical composition of this material and th...

Sequestration Rates for C and N in Soil Organic Matter at Four N-Polluted Temperate Forest Stands
The quantification of terrestrial sources and sinks for carbon dioxide and nitrogen-based greenhouse gases is one of the most important tasks facing environmental scientists today. Central to this is the deter...

Study of ± J Ising Spin Glasses via Multicanonical Ensemble
We performed numerical simulations of 2D and 3D Edwards-Anderson spin glass models by using the recently developed multicanonical ensemble. Our ergodicity times increase with the lattice size approximately as V ...

SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory: Standard Action Versus Symanzik’s Tree-Improved Action
We carry out Monte Carlo simulations of the 4d SU(2) lattice gauge theory. The standard action and the Symanzik tree-improved action are used. Results for the string tension, glueball masses, and energy-momentum ...

Recent Results on the Instanton Approximation
Recent results on the two-dimensional CPN−1 models suggest that the QCD instanton gas is dense and infrared finite. These results and the computation of quantum fluctuations of quarks in a multi-instanton backgro...

S matrix theory of the massive thirring model
The S matrix theory of the massive Thirring model, describing the exact quantum scattering of solitons and their bound-states, is reviewed. Treated are: Factorization equations and their solution, boundstates,...

Comparisons of Decomposition Rates Measured by Means of Cellulose
Cellulose has been used as a model substance in decomposition studies in the IBP tundra projects (Rosswall, 1974), and should prove particularly suitable for use in comparative studies. It is free of leaching ass...
