Impacts of Recent Climate change on wheat production systems in Western Australia (2009)

Ludwig, F., Milroy, S.P., Asseng, S.

The wheatbelt of Western Australia shows a distinct Mediterranean climate with most of the rainfall occurring in the winter months. The main factor limiting plant production in this region is...

Phenotypic selection on leaf ecophysiological traits in Helianthus (2009)

Donovan, L.A., Ludwig, F., Rosenthal, D.R., Rieseberg, L.H., Dudley, S.A.

Habitats that differ in soil resource availability are expected to differ for selection on resource-related plant traits. Here, we examined spatial and temporal variation in phenotypic selection on...

Improved quality of beneath-canopy grass in South African savannas: Local and seasonal variation (2008)

Anna C. Treydte, F. Ludwig

Questions: Do large trees improve the nutrient content and the structure of the grass layer in savannas? Does the magnitude of this improvement differ with locality (soil nutrients) and season (water...

Modelling ungulate dependence on higher quality forage under large trees in African savannahs (2008)

Treydte, A.C., Heitkönig, I.M.A., Ludwig, F.

In African savannahs, large trees improve grass quality, particularly in dry and nutrient poor areas. Enhanced below-canopy grass nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus contents should therefore...

The potential value of seasonal forecasts of rainfall categories¿Case studies from the wheatbelt in Western Australia's Mediterranean region (2008)

Moeller, C., Smith, I., Asseng, S., Ludwig, F., Telcik, N.

Hypothetical forecasts of categories of seasonal rainfall (May¿October) were evaluated in order to identify which requirements for seasonal climate forecasting are most useful in guiding decisions...

High-Performance High-Tc SQUID Sensors for Multichannel Systems in Magnetically Disturbed Environment (2007)

F. Ludwig, J. Beyer, D. Drung, S. Bechstein, Th. Schurig

Abstract⎯We have fabricated and characterized high-Tc SQUID sensors that are suited for operation in multichannel systems in magnetically disturbed environment. Utilizing the superior properties of...

Trees improve grass quality for herbivores in African savannas (2007)

Treydte, A.C., Heitkonig, I.M.A., Prins, H.H.T., Ludwig, F.

The tree-grass interactions of African savannas are mainly determined by varying rainfall patterns and soil fertility. Large savanna trees are known to modify soil nutrient conditions, but whether...

Long-term effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 exhalation on species composition and productivity of a southern African C4 dominated grassland in the vicinity of a CO2 exhalation (2007)

Stock, W.D., Ludwig, F., Morrow, C., Midgley, G.F., Wand, S.J.E., Allsopp, N., ...

We describe the long-term effects of a CO2 exhalation, created more than 70 years ago, on a natural C4 dominated sub-tropical grassland in terms of ecosystem structure and functioning. We tested...

Phenotypic selection on leaf WUE and related ecophysiological traits for natural populations of desert sunflowers (2007)

Donovan, L.A., Rosenthal, D.R., Dudley, S.A., Ludwig, F.

Plant water-use efficiency (WUE) is expected to affect plant fitness and thus be under natural selection in arid habitats. Although many natural population studies have assessed plant WUE, only a few...

Nutrient and water addition effects on day- and night-time conductance and transpiration in a C3 desert annual (2006)

Ludwig, F., Jewitt, R.A., Donovan, L.A.

Recent research has shown that many C3 plant species have significant stomatal opening and transpire water at night even in desert habitats. Day-time stomatal regulation is expected to maximize...

Climate change impacts on wheat production in a Mediterranean environment in Western Australia (2006)

Ludwig, F., Asseng, S.

The environment in which crops will be grown in the future will change. CO2 concentrations [CO2] and temperatures (T) will probably increase and a decline of winter rainfall is predicted for...

Determinants of woody cover in African savannas (2005)

Sankaran, M, Hanan, NP, Scholes, RJ, Ratnam, J, Augustine, DJ, Cade, BS, ...

Savannas are globally important ecosystems of great significance to human economies. In these biomes, which are characterized by the co-dominance of trees and grasses, woody cover is a chief...

We describe the long-term effects of a CO2 exhalation, created more than 70 years ago, on a natural C4 dominated sub-tropical grassland in terms of ecosystem structure and functioning. We tested...

Plant responses to an edaphic gradient across an active sand dune/desert boundary in the great basin desert. (2005)

Rosenthal, D.M., Ludwig, F., Donovan, L.A.

In arid ecosystems, variation in precipitation causes broad-scale spatial heterogeneity in soil moisture, but differences in soil texture, development, and plant cover can also create substantial...

The influence of savanna trees on nutrient, water and light availability and the understorey vegetation (2004)

Ludwig, F., Berendse, F., Prins, H.H.T.

In an East African savanna herbaceous layer productivity and species composition were studied around Acacia tortilis trees of three different age classes, as well as around dead trees and in open...
