  • Welcome to Burg Kronberg Im Taunus!
    Welcome to Burg Kronberg im Taunus! History of Kronberg Castle The history of Kronberg castle and its grounds begins at the end of the 12th century, when the Holy Roman Emperor ordered the knights of Eschborn to build a castle on a rocky outcrop on the southern slopes of the Taunus. The first documentary reference to the knights as the Lords of Kronberg was in 1230. A visitor to this castle complex, which with its 18,000m2 is one of the most extensive in Germany, will get a clear idea of what life used to be like at the castle. It was an economic entity with lords and their underlings and cattle, and stables, barns, a blacksmith and a bakery and a manure heap. The harvest was stored in the attic of the middle castle. At the beginning of the 19th century the economic conditions changed. Castles were now something to admire and visit. They were no longer lived in by the families who had built them. Kronberg castle comprises three castles from three eras: The Romanesque upper castle with its keep is the oldest part of the castle (circa 1170-1200). The lower castle, which has now almost disappeared from view, was built at the start of the 14th century. The middle castle has two buildings at right angles to each other and was built in the 14th and 15th century and marks the transition from a defensive to a residential castle. There have been many alterations, renovations and extensions to the castle over the centuries. However, the ground plan of the castle has remained largely unchanged since the Middle Ages.

Large parts of Central Europe have experienced exhumation in Late Cretaceous to Paleogene time. Previous 10 studies mainly focused on thrusted basement uplifts to unravel magnitude, processes and timing of exhumation. This study provides, for the first time, a comprehensive thermochronological dataset from mostly Permo-Triassic strata exposed adjacent to and between the basement uplifts in central Germany, comprising an area of at least some 250-300 km across. Results of apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He analyses on >100 new samples reveal that (i) km-scale exhumation affected the entire region, (ii) thrusting of basement blocks like the Harz Mountains and the Thuringian Forest focused in the Late 15 Cretaceous (about 90-70 Ma) while superimposed domal uplift of central Germany is slightly younger (about 75-55 Ma), and (iii) large parts of the domal uplift experienced removal of 3 to 4 km of Mesozoic strata. Using spatial extent, magnitude and timing as constraints suggests that thrusting and crustal thickening alone can account for no more than half of the domal uplift.

  • (Quercus Robur, Q. Petraea) Regeneration
    Mölder et al. Forest Ecosystems (2019) 6:49 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40663-019-0206-y RESEARCH Open Access Success factors for high-quality oak forest (Quercus robur, Q. petraea) regeneration Andreas Mölder1* , Holger Sennhenn-Reulen1, Christoph Fischer1, Hendrik Rumpf2, Egbert Schönfelder1, Johannes Stockmann1 and Ralf-Volker Nagel1 Abstract Background: Within the framework of close-to-nature forestry, oak forest (Quercus robur, Q. petraea) regeneration techniques that consider both silvicultural and nature conservation demands have become a very important issue. While there are many experimental and local studies that aim at disentangling the relationships between different environmental and silvicultural factors and the success of oak regeneration, systematic supra-regional studies at the greater landscape level are missing so far. Against this background, the first objective (a) of this study was to present an efficient and sufficiently accurate sampling scheme for supra-regional forest regrowth inventories, which we applied to young oaks stands. The second, and major, objective (b) was to identify the crucial success factors for high-quality oak forest regeneration in northwest Germany. Results: Objective (a): Factors that have been identified as potentially crucial for the success or failure of oak regeneration were either included in a field inventory procedure or extracted from forest inventory databases. We found that the collected data were suitable to be analyzed in a three-step success model, which was aimed at identifying the crucial success factors for high-quality oak forest regeneration. Objective (b): Our modeling procedure, which included a Bayesian estimation approach with spike-and-slab priors, revealed that competitive pressure from the secondary tree species was the most decisive success factor; no competition, or low competition by secondary tree species appeared to be particularly beneficial for the success of high-quality oak regeneration.

Half of the forest edges studied were created by bark beetle attacks (interior edges), the others result from clearance for farming by humans. At each forest edge, five traps were installed as follows: one trap was placed in the open area 50–80 m distant from the forest edge, two traps at the edge (one at ground level, one in the canopy), and two traps in the forest interior 70–100 m away from the edge (one at ground level, one in the canopy). We caught and determined 10,966 specimens representing 421 insect species: 240 beetles, 96 true bugs, 65 Aculeata, and 20 lacewings. The highest number of species was found in the open spaces and at the edges. Bark beetle gaps are shown as hot spots of insect biodiversity. Key words: interior forest edge, exterior forest edge, biodiversity, flight interception traps, bark beetles.

  • Collection of 24 Rocks 1018443 (U72015)
    Collection of 24 rocks 1018443 (U72015) These rocks are organised into three groups depending on how they were formed: Igneous rocks arise due to solidification of magma inside (plutonic/intrusive) or upon (volcanic/extrusive) the earth’s crust. Sedimentary rocks: Such minerals are exposed to exogenetic forces on the surface of the earth, where they are comminuted, transported and deposited and can also be recompacted. Metamorphic rocks arise due to metamorphosis of igneous or sedimentary rocks under high pressure and temperature. Rock cycle Magma rising from inside the earth cools, either while still inside the crust or after it has erupted to the surface. This results in the creation of igneous rocks. These rocks are exposed to exogenetic forces on the surface of the earth (erosion, weathering), they may be transported from place to place and can later be recompacted (sedimentary rocks) or can be subjected to high pressure and temperature and thereby transformed into metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be subjected to exogenetic forces or can be subducted into the earth as a result of tectonic movements where they too can be fused or converted by pressure and temperature into metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks can also be subjected to exogenetic forces or can be subducted into the earth as a result of tectonic movements and fused there.
