Open AccessA scoring rule and global inaccuracy measure for contingent varying importance
Levinstein recently presented a challenge to accuracy-first epistemology. He claims that there is no strictly proper, truth-directed, additive, and differentiable scoring rule that recognises the contingency o...

Temperate Primary Forest Biomass Accumulates over Centuries-Long Time Frames
Primary forests provide critical climate regulation functions through the capture and storage of carbon in biomass reservoirs. The capacity of primary forests to sustain biomass levels and the possible consequ...

Open AccessNatural Disturbances are Essential Determinants of Tree-Related Microhabitat Availability in Temperate Forests
Assessing the impacts of natural disturbance on the functioning of complex forest systems are imperative in the context of global change. The unprecedented rate of contemporary species extirpations, coupled wi...

How much are bold Bayesians favoured?
Rédei and Gyenis recently displayed strong constraints of Bayesian learning (in the form of Jeffrey conditioning). However, they also presented a positive result for Bayesianism. Despite the limited significan...

Open AccessJet stream position explains regional anomalies in European beech forest productivity and tree growth
The mechanistic pathways connecting ocean-atmosphere variability and terrestrial productivity are well-established theoretically, but remain challenging to quantify empirically. Such quantification will greatl...

Open AccessClimate-change-driven growth decline of European beech forests
The growth of past, present, and future forests was, is and will be affected by climate variability. This multifaceted relationship has been assessed in several regional studies, but spatially resolved, large-...

Open AccessThe 2018 European heatwave led to stem dehydration but not to consistent growth reductions in forests
Heatwaves exert disproportionately strong and sometimes irreversible impacts on forest ecosystems. These impacts remain poorly understood at the tree and species level and across large spatial scales. Here, we...

Historical Disturbances Determine Current Taxonomic, Functional and Phylogenetic Diversity of Saproxylic Beetle Communities in Temperate Primary Forests
The expected future intensification of forest disturbance as a consequence of ongoing anthropogenic climate change highlights the urgent need to more robustly quantify associated biotic responses. Saproxylic b...

Cobalt pyridinoporphyrazine film as a platinum group metal-free mediator in hydrogen electrochemistry
The cobalt pyridinoporphyrazine film deposited on basal plane highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and Au(111) electrodes exhibited electrocatalytic activity to hydrogen oxidation reaction compared to the...

A matter of time: self-regulated tree regeneration in a natural Norway spruce (Picea abies) forest at Mt. Brocken, Germany
European natural mountain Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests are currently subject to extensive disturbances. An improved understanding of the self-regulated regenerative capacity of this forest type is therefor...

Hydrogen sulfide detection by poly(methylene blue) modified highly oriented pyrolytic graphite electrode
The electropolymerization of phenothiazine derivative, methylene blue (MB), on the surface of a basal plane highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was studied. Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite electrodes ...

Versatile cell for in-situ spectroelectrochemical and ex-situ nanomorphological characterization of both water soluble and insoluble phthalocyanine compounds
A novel cell for complex spectroelectrochemical and nanomorphological characterization of phthalocyanine has been developed. The applicability and universality of the cell allows performing both in-situ and ex...

Effects of topography and forest stand dynamics on soil morphology in three natural Picea abies mountain forests
Soil evolution in mountain areas is strongly influenced by vegetation and terrain topography. In managed forests, however, relationships of the soil to the environment are modified or masked by human intervent...

Nanobubble-Assisted Nanopatterning
In the previous chapter it was described how degassing aqueous solutions in contact with hydrophobic polymers open pathways for polymer surface patterning. In the absence of degassing, nanobubbles can nucleate...

Dense TiO2 films grown by sol–gel dip coating on glass, F-doped SnO2, and silicon substrates
Exceptionally dense titanium dioxide (TiO2) films were prepared via dip coating from a sol containing poly(hexafluorobutyl methacrylate) as the structure-directing agent. The films were grown on glass, F-doped Sn...

Quantitative Depth Profiling of K-Doped Fullerene Films Using XPS and SIMS
Phenomena accompanying electrochemical do** of solid fullerene films with potassium were studied by sputter ion depth profiling (XPS and SIMS). The potassium distribution was determined, and artifacts assoc...

Analysis of Thin Films with Slightly Rough Boundaries
Technological procedures often produce thin films with rough boundaries as for example, semiconductor films prepared by various chemical methods. If roughness of the boundaries of the films is very small, i.e....
