• Desert breath—How fog promotes a novel type of soil biocenosis, forming the coastal Atacama Desert’s living skin 

      Jung, PatrickORCIDiD; Baumann, KarenORCIDiD; Lehnert, Lukas W.; Samolov, Elena; Achilles, Sebastian; Schermer, Michael; Wraase, Luise M.; Eckhardt, Kai-Uwe; Bader, Maaike Y.ORCIDiD; Leinweber, PeterORCIDiD; Karsten, UlfORCIDiD; Bendix, JörgORCIDiD; Büdel, Burkhard (Geobiology, 2019)
      The Atacama Desert is the driest non-polar desert on Earth, presenting precarious conditions for biological activity. In the arid coastal belt, life is restricted to areas with fog events that cause almost daily wet–dry ...
    • Model simulation of seasonal growth of Fucus vesiculosus in its benthic community 

      Graiff, AngelikaORCIDiD; Karsten, UlfORCIDiD; Radtke, HagenORCIDiD; Wahl, MartinORCIDiD; Eggert, Anja (Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, 2020)
      Numerical models are a suitable tool to quantify impacts of predicted climate change on complex ecosystems but are rarely used to study effects on benthic macroalgal communities. Fucus vesiculosus L. is a habitat-forming ...
