Besides drought, infection with pine mistletoe (Viscum album ssp. austriacum) seems to play an important role in the mortality dynamics of Scots pines, but how mistletoes promote pine decline remains unclear. To verify whether pine mistletoe infection weakens the host via crown degradation, as observed for dwarf mistletoes, we studied the negative effects of pine mistletoe infestation on the photosynthetic tissues and branch growth of pairs of infested and non-infested branches. Pine mistletoe infection leads to crown degradation in its host by reducing the length, the radial increment, the ramification, the needle length and the number of needle years of the infested branches. This massive loss in photosynthetic tissue results in a reduction in primary production and a subsequent decrease in carbohydrate availability. The significant reduction in needle length due to mistletoe infection is an indication for a lower water and nutrient availability in infested branches. Thus, mistletoe infection might lead to a decrease in the availability of water and carbohydrates, the two most important growth factors, which are already shortened due to the chronic drought situation in the area. Therefore, pine mistletoe increases the risk of drought-induced mortality of its host when growing in a xeric environment.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DiIorioNobileStapenhorst2010, author = {Di Iorio, Marina and Nobile, Maria Luna and Stapenhorst, Carolin}, title = {Martinella}, series = {Edifici alti e paesaggio}, booktitle = {Edifici alti e paesaggio}, editor = {Bovati, Marco and Di Franco, Andrea}, publisher = {Maggioli}, address = {Santarcangelo di Romagna}, isbn = {978-88-387-4434-1}, pages = {191 -- 202}, year = {2010}, language = {it} } @article{RieplPettrakFaulstichetal.2010, author = {Riepl, Herbert Matthias and Pettrak, J{\"u}rgen and Faulstich, Martin and Herrmann, Wolfgang Anton}, title = {Self metathesis of fatty alcohols and amines to provide monomers for polyester and polyamide products}, series = {Macromolecular Symposia}, volume = {293}, journal = {Macromolecular Symposia}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1521-3900 (eISSN)}, doi = {10.1002/masy.200900041}, pages = {39 -- 42}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Self metathesis of oleochemicals offers a variety of bifunctional compounds, that can be used as monomer for polymer production.
