1. Does tree species diversity affect SOC storage in a near-natural beech forest? P- M. Schleuß 1,2, F. Heitkamp 1 and H. F. Jungkunst 1,3 1Department of Landscape Ecology, Georg- August University of Göttingen, Germany 2 Soil Science of Temperate Ecosystems, Georg- August University of Göttingen, Germany 3Institute for Environmental Science, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Introduction Methods Idea: This template is only designed for the DBG meeting 2013. Thus the logo of DBG is taken into the design. To maintain an individual charcter of each poster, please take your own picture (representing your work, study area etc. ) and put it as background to the top of your poster. Make sure that that topic, authors, institutes and logos are readable. My suggestion: take a picture with light colours, and a more or less homogenous picture motive (i.e. a panorama picture of your study area). In addition you can use transparency function to light it up. Finally, cut the picture to the correct size and set it to the background.
