Earthworm communities in alluvial forests: Influence of altitude, vegetation stages and soil parameters

Claire Guenat, Géraldine Michèle Bullinger, Jean-Michel Gobat, Renée-Claire Le Bayon

In many terrestrial ecosystems, soil parameters usually regulate the distribution of earthworm communities.In alluvial ecosystems, few studies have investigated the impact of periodic floods and alluvium deposition on soil fauna. In this context, we assume ...

Comparison between open-site and below-canopy climatic conditions in Switzerland for different types of forests over 10 years (1998-2007)

Martine Rebetez, Valentine Renaud

We compared below-canopy and open-site climatic conditions for 14 different forest sites in Switzerland and analysed the forest influence on local summer and winter climate according to the forest type (coniferous, mixed, deciduous), soil type, slope orien ...

Comfort and Technologies: From the Individual’s Needs to Cleantech

Marilyne Andersen

The Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Performance-Integrated Design (LIPID) is one of the two (ultimately five) ‘mirror’ labs for the EPFL Middle East campus. Synergistic research and education initiatives are being developed with a focus on climate as a dri ...

Comparaison des caractéristiques climatiques sous couvert forestier et hors couvert

Valentine Renaud

We compared open-site and below-canopy climatic conditions from 14 different sites in Switzerland based on LWF data (Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research). The 14 sites represent different locations, orientations and elevations, from the Jura Mountains to t ...

N-15 immobilization in forest soil: a sterilization experiment coupled with (15)CPMAS NMR spectroscopy

Claire Guenat, Isabelle Morier Jaquet

In temperate forests, soils are the main sink for atmospheric N deposition. The main processes proposed for N retention are microbial and abiotic immobilization in soil organic matter. The relative importance of these processes as well as the kind of resul ...

Autogenic succession, land-use change, and climatic influences on the Holocene development of a kettle hole mire in Northern Poland

Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz

We reconstructed the Holocene developmental history of a kettle-hole peatland in the Tuchola forest of Northern Poland, using pollen, testate amoebae and plant macrofossils indicators. Our aims were to determine the timing and pattern of autogenic successi ...

The influence of cattle activity on tree regeneration in wood-pastures

Charlotte Vandenberghe

Wood-pastures are semi-natural, highly biodiverse systems maintained by traditional extensive agriculture. They are used for grazing and timber. The shifting mosaics of grassland, shrub thickets and woodland patches in these systems are driven by large her ...

Retention of atmospherically deposited nitrogen in soil

Isabelle Morier Jaquet

Since a few decades, the balance of the nitrogen (N) cycle has been deeply disturbed by human activies. The global impact of these activities on the N cycle can be described as a doubling of the transfer from the vast and unreactive atmospheric pool to bio ...

Environmental analysis of intensity level in wheat crop production using life cycle assessment

Although a priori thinking would suggest that a low intensity crop is environmentally favourable, this assumption ignores the effect of reduced productivity which could simply lead to pollution shifting to other places. A life cycle assessment of the wheat ...
