Introduction
My research investigates the natural distribution of Tuber aestivum Vitt. (syn. Tuber uncinatum Chatin) in Lower Saxony, focusing on the region between the Hildesheimer Wald and Ith. The study examines the complex interactions between truffle occurrence, vegetation composition, soil biological and physicochemical properties, biodiversity patterns, and truffle dispersal mechanisms.

This thesis pioneers the application of bioacoustic monitoring to evaluate the population and habitat requirements of the Hazel Dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius), a species whose conservation status demands innovative approaches due to its cryptic nature. Traditional monitoring methods, though informative, are partially invasive and often time-in...
This study investigates the geoecological factors affecting the habitat, distribution, and productivity of Burgundy Truffles (Tuber aestivum var. uncinatum) in the German Mid-Mountain Range, particularly near Hildesheim, using a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA protocol to gather data on soil properties, host trees, and favourable c...
Data for Paper: Influence of Geoecological Factors on Burgundy Truffle (Tuber aestivum var. uncinatum) habitat in the German Low mountain range
Truffles grow in areas with specific soil types, geology, and vegetation, forming symbiotic relationships with tree species like Fagus sciatica, Quercus spp., and Betulaceae spp., known as mycorrhiza. • The most dominant factors are soil pH, texture, structure, and mineral composition (Robin et al., 2016; Hilszczańska et al., 2019) • They are most...
Identifying the potential distribution of soil-biodiversity with its density and richness relationships, including constituent species, is a pre-requisite for the assessment, conservation and protection of soil biodiversity and the soil functions it drives. Although the role of earthworms in improving soil quality has long been established, to quan...
The poster describes the results of the literature research on the geoecological factors responsible for the growth of the truffle Tuber aestivum syn. Tuber uncinatum. It also outlines the planned project components to answer the question about the potentials of truffle cultivation for sustainable land use.

Litter-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is considered to be a major source of
stabilised C in soil. Here we investigated the microbial utilisation of litter-derived DOC
within an entire soil profile using a stable isotope labelling experiment in a temperate
beech forest. The natural litter layer of a Dystric Cambisol was replaced by 13C enric...
