Die 13 deutschen Weinbaulandschaften werden kurz charakterisiert und die Dynamik ihrer Landschaftsveränderungen beschrieben. Der Beitrag vermittelt einen Überblick der Ökosystemleistungen. welche durch den Weinbau geprägte Landschaften der menschlichen Gesellschaft als Nutzen bereitstellen können, und vertieft die durch den Tourismus mögliche monetäre Wertschöpfung. Am Beispiel des Projekts KliA-Net werden Anpassungsstrategien an den Klimawandel verdeutlicht und am Beispiel eines kooperativ entwickelten Leitbilds zur Klimaanpassung im Rheingau illustriert. Der Ausblick skizziert Handlungsoptionen, um Landschaften in Weinbauregionen nachhaltiger als bisher zu entwickeln.

Evolution of Coastal Subarctic Lakes in the Context of Climatic and Geological Changes and Human Occ...

March 2023 · Geosciences (Switzerland)

Climate fluctuations and landscape evolution, with their associated impacts on northern coastal ecosystems, likely influenced human populations of Nunatsiavut who have inhabited the region for nearly 7000 years. As part of an interdisciplinary research initiative within the Nain Archipelago on the subarctic coast of Labrador, this project sought to reconstruct the postglacial palaeoclimatic and ... [Show full abstract] palaeoenvironmental variability of Dog Island and document its impacts on the evolution of lakes located in the vicinity of significant archaeological sites. To address these questions, we analysed physical, geochemical, and biological indicators preserved in sediment cores of two lakes. Results from Oakes Bay West Lake revealed gradual acidification since ca. 4900 cal. yr BP, coherent with terrestrial vegetation development and/or neoglacial cooling, interrupted by periods of milder climatic conditions (ca. 4900–3640 cal. yr BP and ca. 1520 cal. yr BP—present) that favoured large sediment inputs. Evilik Lake revealed the classic sequence of isolation of the basin in three major phases in response to glacio-isostatic rebound. These complementary results allowed for the development of a local palaeoenvironmental framework that contributes to a better understanding of how landscape evolution and climate have influenced human societies through site availability and proximity to marine resources, and how, in turn, they impacted their immediate environment through activities, such as wood harvesting and its associated effects on nutrients and lake sediment inputs.

Historical Landscape Evolution Shaped the Phylogeography and Population History of the Cyprinid Fish...

March 2023 · Diversity

Geological events and landscape features, as well as changes in the climate during the Pliocene period, have shaped the distribution of genetic diversity and demographic history of freshwater fish in mainland China. In this study, we investigated the phylogeny and population genetic structure of Acrossocheilus species (A. fasciatus, A. kreyenbergii and A. wenchowensis) in the Zhejiang region by ... [Show full abstract] the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt-b) and control (D-loop) region s. Mitochondrial phylogenetic analysis revealed three major lineages (lineages A, B and C), which may represent A. fasciatus, A. wenchowensis and A. kreyenbergii, respectively. Our results revealed that A. fasciatus and A. wenchowensis diverged from A. kreyenbergii in the Zhejiang region. The uplift of the Wuyi Mountains and the Xianxia Mountains served as an important geographic barrier in the diversification of the three Acrossocheilus species. The most recent common ancestors (TMRCAs) of the three lineages and lineages A + B were dated to 1.859 and 1.614 myr, respectively. Our results indicate that the effective population sizes of A. fasciatus and A. wenchowensis remained constant from the past to the present, as supported by ABC analysis. For conservation and protection, a strategy is required because of their genetic uniqueness, and we suggest that the two regions divided by the Xianxia Mountains be regarded as different management units (Mus), conforming to the major zoological regions of the Zhejiang region.

Modeling large‐scale landform evolution with a stream power law for glacial erosion (OpenLEM v37): b...

February 2023 · Geoscientific Model Development

Following the tradition of modeling fluvial landscape evolution, a novel approach describing glacial erosion based on an empirical stream power law was proposed. This approach differs substantially from well-established process-based models applied to describe glacial erosion in mountain landscapes. Outstanding computational performance but a number of potential limitations compared to ... [Show full abstract] process-based models requires extensive testing to evaluate the applicability of this novel approach. In this study, we test the validity of the glacial stream power law and its implementation into a 2-D landform evolution model (OpenLEM) by benchmarking it against a state of the art surface process model based on the integrated second-order shallow-ice approximation (iSOSIA). Despite completely different approaches, OpenLEM and iSOSIA predict similar ice flow patterns and erosion rates for a wide range of climatic conditions without re-adjusting a set of calibrated parameters. This parameter set is valid for full glacial conditions where the entire precipitation is converted to ice but also for an altitude-dependent glacier mass balance as characteristic for most glaciated mountain ranges on Earth. In both models characteristic glacial features, such as overdeepenings, hanging valleys and steps at confluences emerge roughly at the same locations, resulting in a consistent altitude-dependent adjustment of channel slope and relief. Compared to iSOSIA, however, distinctly higher erosion rates occur in OpenLEM at valley flanks during the initial phase of the fluvial to glacial transition. This is mainly due to the simplified description of glacier width and ice surface in OpenLEM. In this respect, we found that the glacial stream power approach cannot replace process-based models such as iSOSIA but is complementary to them by addressing research questions that could not previously be answered due to a lack of computational efficiency. The implementation of the glacial stream power law is primarily suitable for large-scale simulations investigating the evolution of mountain topography in the interplay of tectonics and climate. As coupling glacial and fluvial erosion with sediment transport shows nearly the same computational efficiency as its purely fluvial counterpart, mountain-range-scale simulations at high spatial resolution are not exclusively restricted to the fluvial domain anymore, and a series of exciting research questions can be addressed by this novel approach.

Isolating climatic, tectonic, and lithologic controls on mountain landscape evolution

January 2023 · Science Advances

Establishing that climate exerts an important general influence on topography in tectonically active settings has proven an elusive goal. Here, we show that climates ranging from arid to humid consistently influence fluvial erosional efficiency and thus topography, and this effect is captured by a simple metric that combines channel steepness and mean annual rainfall, ksnQ . Accounting for ... [Show full abstract] spatial rainfall variability additionally increases the sensitivity of channel steepness to lithologic and tectonic controls on topography, enhancing predictions of erosion and rock uplift rates, and supports the common assumption of a reference concavity near 0.5. In contrast, the standard channel steepness metric, ksn , intrinsically assumes that climate is uniform. Consequently, its use where rainfall varies spatially undermines efforts to distinguish climate from tectonic and lithologic effects, can bias reference concavity estimates, and may ultimately lead to false impressions about rock uplift patterns and other environmental influences. Capturing climate is therefore a precondition to understanding mountain landscape evolution.
