China (Received 21 January 2015; accepted 26 March 2015) Investigations of diurnal and seasonal variations in soil respiration support modeling of regional CO2 budgets and therefore in estimating their potential contribution to greenhouse gases. This study quantifies temporal changes in soil respiration and their driving factors in grassland and arable soils located in Northern Germany. Field –2 –1 measurements at an arable site showed diurnal mean soil respiration rates between 67 and 99 mg CO2 m h with a hysteresis effect following changes in mean soil temperatures. Field soil respiration peaked in April at 5767 –2 –1 –2 –1 mg CO2 m day , while values below 300 mg CO2 m day were measured in wintertime. Laboratory incubations were carried out in dark open flow chambers at temperatures from 5°C to 40°C, with 5°C intervals, and soil moisture was controlled at 30%, 50%, and 70% of full water holding capacity. Respiration rates were higher in grassland soils than in arable soils when the incubating temperature exceeded 15°C. The respiration rate difference between them rose with increasing temperature. Monthly median values of incubated soil –1 –1 respiration rates ranged from 0 to 26.12 and 0 to 7.84 µg CO2 g dry weight h , respectively, in grassland and arable land. A shortage of available substrate leads to a temporal decline in soil respiration rates, as indicated by a decrease in dissolved organic carbon. Temporal Q10 values decreased from about 4.0 to below 1.5 as Downloaded by [Zhanli Wang] at 02:40 27 July 2015 temperatures increased in the field. Moreover, the results of our laboratory experiments confirmed that soil temperature is the main controlling factor for the Q10 values. Within the temperature interval between 20°C and 30°C, Q10 values were around 2 while the Q10 values of arable soils were slightly lower compared to that of grassland soils. Thus, laboratory studies may underestimate temperature sensitivity of soil respiration, awareness for transforming laboratory data to field conditions must therefore be taken into account.

    Eigenwillige Feuersteinartefakte als Zeugen einer Flintensteinherstellung von der Ostseeküste des Dänischen Wohlds, Kr. Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein Volker Arnold & Renate Jeske Zusammenfassung – Umfangreiche Aufsammlungen von R. Jeske an einer ca. 13 km langen Küstenstrecke um Noer-Lindhöft an der südlichen Eckernförder Bucht konnten zum größten Teil der Herstellung von Flintensteinen zugeordnet werden. Die lokalen eiszeitlichen Ablagerungen sind reich an Flint. Archivalisch ist hier bisher ein Flintensteinschläger für die erste Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts belegt. Die im Strandgeröll gesammelten, umgelagerten und mehr oder weniger gerollten Artefakte repräsentieren Reststücke der Herstellung von abschlagbasierten Flintensteinen („wedges“). Unbearbeitete Abschläge spielen im Fundmaterial eine geringe Rolle. Besonders die kleine- ren Stücke könnten entnommen worden sein, um sie an anderer, bisher noch unbekannter Stelle weiterzubearbeiten. Ein Teil der Funde, wahrscheinlich nicht mehr als 20 %, scheint urgeschichtlichen Ursprungs zu sein. Einige von ihnen konnten dem Spätmesolithikum bis Spätneolithikum zugeordnet werden. Gebrauchsfertig retuschierte Flintensteine oder Feuerschlagsteine konnten bisher nicht identifiziert werden. Die Abfälle, unter denen größere Abschläge mit Negativen auf der Ventralfläche und gurkenförmig gekrümmte Kerne am auffäl- ligsten und eindeutigsten sind, entsprechen den jüngst von J.

  • Danish Minority Education in Schleswig-Holstein
    DANISH MINORITY EDUCATION IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN Sonja Wolf ECMI WORKING PAPER #87 October 2015 ECMI- Working Paper # 87 The European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) is a non-partisan institution founded in 1996 by the Governments of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the German State of Schleswig-Holstein. ECMI was established in Flensburg, at the heart of the Danish-German border region, in order to draw from the encouraging example of peaceful coexistence between minorities and majorities achieved here. ECMI’s aim is to promote interdisciplinary research on issues related to minorities and majorities in a European perspective and to contribute to the improvement of interethnic relations in those parts of Western and Eastern Europe where ethno-political tension and conflict prevail. ECMI Working Papers are written either by the staff of ECMI or by outside authors commissioned by the Centre. As ECMI does not propagate opinions of its own, the views expressed in any of its publications are the sole responsibility of the author concerned.

Malloy © ECMI 2015 2 | P a g e ECMI- Working Paper # 87 DANISH MINORITY EDUCATION IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN This paper examines the educational system of the Danish minority in Germany. The minority is settled in Germany’s northernmost state, Schleswig -Holstein, and is known to enjoy one of the most advanced minority protection regimes in Europe. One pillar of this regime is the educational system, which is the subject of this paper. It gives a detailed account of how this system developed over time, and the legal framework that came into being in order to regulate the Danish minority’s rights, freedoms and obligations in terms of education.

    The Consequences of Radical Reform: The French Revolution ONLINE APPENDIX By Daron Acemoglu, Davide Cantoni, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson ∗ Online Appendix A: Definition of the Territories The 19 German territories in the dataset have been chosen following a series of general principles. First, given that our \reforms index" captures the evolu- tion of reforms in the 19th century, we followed post-1815 border definitions. Of all the territories emerging from the reorganization of the Napoleonic era, and concluded with the Congress of Vienna in 1815, we have then proceeded to ex- clude those too small to make a computation of urbanization rates meaningless (e.g., the Thuringian states, Waldeck, Lippe, Nassau. ), or where no evidence on the pre-1800 evolution of total population was available. Finally, we have di- vided Prussia into its constituent provinces, in order to capture different levels of French/Napoleonic influence, and in order to avoid a dataset of too unequally- sized polities. Within the province of Westphalia, we have singled out the Ruhr mining area (identified with the former county of Mark), to check if this heavily industrialized area is responsible for our main findings (see Table 4, column (1)). 1) Rhineland (Prussia).
