Sustainable and efficient water management is of central importance for the dominant agricultural sector and thus for the population and the environment of the Khorezm region. Khorezm is situated in the lower Amu Darya ...
Managing social-ecological systems for resilience: Fisheries in the small reservoirs of northern Ghana
(2010-12-08)
People in northern Ghana face an increasing number of challenges such as social change, political neglect, globalization and a lack of income generating alternatives. On top of this difficult situation they have to adapt ...
Impact of climate change and stocking rates on pasture systems in SE Morocco – An Application of the SAVANNA Ecosystem Model
(2010-11-25)
Extensive sheep and goat grazing provides the main income for population in Morocco’s semi-arid to arid areas where rainfall does not permit cropping without irrigation. As processes of vegetation dynamics cannot be assessed ...
Soil organic carbon pools and their spatial patterns: rapid assessment using mid-infrared spectroscopy
(2011-02-09)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays an important role in global C cycling. Until today, the spatial patterns of individual SOC fractions are, however, largely undiscovered as traditional methods for their determination are too ...
Remote sensing based assessment of small wetlands in East Africa
(2010-11-26)
Small wetlands in East Africa have in the past few decades become focal points of a broad spectrum of agricultural production and other land-uses. Climate change and population growth are the major factors attributing to ...

Reconstruction of possible realisations of the Late Glacial and Holocene near surface climate in Central Europe
(2010-05-19)
This thesis presents several aspects of reconstructing physical consistent realisations of past climatological fields. Local climate reconstructions are obtained by a method, which is based on the idea of indicator taxa ...
Urban segregation as a complex system: an agent-based simulation approach
(2010-04-08)
Urban segregation represents a significant barrier for achieving social inclusion in cities. To overcome this, it is necessary to implement policies founded upon a better understanding of segregation dynamics. However, a ...
