r3d100012875 RESPECT Environmental changes in biodiverstiy hotspot ecosystems of South Ecuador: RESPonse and feedback effECTs http://www.tropicalmountainforest.org/ RESPECT aims to unveil for the mountain rain forest in South Ecuador how major ecosystem functions, (i) ecosystem biomass production, and (ii) water fluxes, are affected by ongoing and future environmental changes through alterations in response and effect traits of relevant biota. The research question is addressed with two approaches: (i) A newest generation Land Surface Model (LSM) and (ii) a statistical response–effect framework (REF). By including (i) specific Plant Functional Types (PFTs) for the megadiverse biodiversity hotspot, (ii) introducing trait diversity, (iii) new modules for tree hydraulics and (iv) new modules of focal biological processes (seed dispersal and PFT establishment, herbivory) we will conduct a biodiversification of LSMs. bendix@geo.uni-marburg.de maik.dobbermann@geo.uni-marburg.de disciplinary 626 datasets 2017 deu eng spa 2 Life Sciences 202 Plant Sciences 20202 Plant Ecology and Ecosystem Analysis 21 Biology 23 Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture and Veterinary Medicine 3 Natural Sciences 315 Geophysics and Geodesy 31502 Geodesy, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Geoinformatics, Cartogaphy 317 Geography 31701 Physical Geography 31702 Human Geography 34 Geosciences (including Geography) Images Raw data Scientific and statistical data formats dataProvider Ecuador South Ecuador air temperature biodiversity rain forest tree growth tropical mountain forest Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG DEU funding non-profit http://www.dfg.de/ RRID:SCR_012420 RRID:nlx_144062 Philipps-University of Marburg, Laboratory for Climatology and Remote Sensing LCRS DEU general non-profit http://www.lcrs.de/ Data Use Agreement http://vhrz669.hrz.uni-marburg.de/tmf_respect/files/generalinformation/Data_Use_Agreement_PAK.pdf Data User Agreement http://vhrz669.hrz.uni-marburg.de/tmf_respect/files/generalinformation/Data_User_Agreement_external.pdf Grundsätze zum Umgang mit Forschungsdaten https://www.wissenschaftsrat.de/download/archiv/Allianz_Grundsaetze_Forschungsdaten.pdf open embargoed restricted registration other http://vhrz669.hrz.uni-marburg.de/tmf_respect/UserFiles/File/respect/generalinformations/RESPECT_data_use_agreement_approved.pdf restricted other DOI http://vhrz669.hrz.uni-marburg.de/tmf_respect/content_htmlcode_pre.do?pageid=3#UPC unknown unknown EML - Ecological Metadata Language http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/metadata-standards/eml-ecological-metadata-language Tropical mountain forest data warehouse (TMFdw) 2018-10-05 2019-01-21
