Journal of Earthquake Engineering © Imperial College Press SEISMIC DESIGN OF DRILLED SHAFT BENTS WITH SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION VINICIO SUAREZ North Carolina State Univ., Box 7908, Raleigh, NC 27695-7908, USA MERVYN J. KOWALSKY North Carolina State Univ., Box 7908, Raleigh, NC 27695-7908, USA The Direct Displacement-Based Design method is implemented for performance based seismic engineering of drilled shaft bents with consideration of soil-structure interaction effects. This was accomplished by defining an equivalent model that allows the prediction of yield displacement, displacement ductility and equivalent viscous damping for the in-plane and out-of-plane response of bents embedded in soft clay and sand. The utilization of the model is simple and requires the input of geometry, basic soil properties, target performance in terms of top displacement, ductility or strain limits and seismic demand in the form of displacement response spectra. Examples are presented to demonstrate the application of the procedure. Keywords: soil-structure interaction; ductility; equivalent damping, DDBD

Application for the DFG-Research Unit Biodiversity and Sustainable Management of a Megadiverse

Mountain Ecosystem in South Ecuador

New Proposal 2007 Š 2010

A2.1 Prof. Dr. Fran¨ois Buscot and Dr. Uwe Langer Diversity and roles played within the soil microorganisms by mycorrhiza and fungi for nutrient turnover and vegetation stabilization in mountain rain forests of southern Ecuador. Local counterpart in Ecuador: Juan Pablo Su‡rez Ch. Mycorrhizal symbioses between fungi and roots of most land plants, mobilize nutrients from mineral or organic soil fractions and stabilize different levels of plant diversity according to their type (arbuscular, ecto- or ericoid mycorrhizas). Mountain rain forests of southern Ecuador have a h igh soil moisture and a strong nutrient limitation increasing with altitude, while soil organic matter accumulates and mineralization decreases. The application aims at enlightening the role played within the soil microorganisms of such forests by mycorrhiza and soil fungi in this context. Molecular biological analysed will be performed at three altitudes to detect shifts in the mycorrhiza and soil fungi community. They will be coupled with measures of soil microbial enzymatic activities and monitoring of genes encoding enzymes involved in cycling of the soil organic matter as a potential nutrient reservoir. Parallel analyses will be done in plots with manipulation of phosphorus nitrogen and soil moisture, and in experiments on litter decay. We will also participate to experiments on disturbance. The project involving a partner at the Technical Catholic University of Loja (Ecuador) is integrated at several levels of the research unit (involvement in different fields experiments, providing reference DNA sequences to groups working on fungi diversity and soil ecological data for modelling.

A2.2 Prof. Dr. Christoph Leuschner, Dr. Dietrich Hertel, Dr. Viviana Horna The role of nutrient limitation for the carbon balance, nutrient economy and diversity of trees in Andean forests of South Ecuador: an experimental approach. Local counterpart in Ecuador: Hernan Lucero Increasing fertilizer use, i ndustrialisation and biomass burning will greatly increase atmospheric nitrogen deposition in tropical countries in the coming decades. It is not sufficiently understood how tropical forests will respond to the expected N addition. In tropical lowland forests, phosphorus is a m ajor growth-limiting element, whereas tropical mountain forests seem to be limited primarily by N. This project combines experimental and descriptive studies along an elevational transect (1000 to 3000 m asl) of Andean mountain forests to investigate (a) the type of nutrient limitation at different elevations, (b) physiological and morphological responses of trees to N and/or P addition, (c) the relationship of tree diversity and stand productivity, respectively, to nutrient availability, and (d) the effect of elevation on the relationships in (b) and (c). Three research approaches at different spatial and temporal scales are combined: A) A comparative field study within an environmental matrix (60 plots) to analyse the relationship between N and P availability and tree species diversity and forest structure. B) A replicated N and P addition experiment (NUMEX) to study the effects of addition of N (50 kg ha-1 yr-1), P (10 kg ha-1 yr-1), and N+P on stem increment, litter production, fine root biomass and foliar and leaf litter nutrient concentrations. C) A mesocosm study with seedlings of light-demanding and shade-tolerant tree species that are treated with different N and P amounts to investigate above- and below-ground growth responses, leaf and root longevity, nutrient partitioning patterns, responses of photosynthesis and leaf and root respiration to nutrient addition, and in situ nitrogen uptake rates and preference of nitrate, ammonium or organic N sources. The project takes the lead in the NUMEX experiment (central organisation and synthesis).

A3.2 Dr. Christoph Reudenbach Prof. Dr. Sigrid Liede-Schumann (Dr. Felix Matt - UTPL) Modelling and simulation of the spatio-temporal population dynamics of selected bat species in relation to structure and phenology of corresponding flora. Chiroptera supposedly play a key role in tropical forest ecology. Hence chiroptera are well-suited for ecosystem related investigations. The altitudinal differentiation of physiological adaptation as well as the specific bat-plant interactions provide particularly valuable clues regarding the corresponding ecological processes. Var ious plant species directly depend on bats as pollinators and seed dispersers. Thus it can be expected that the guild of frugivore chiroptera in particular occupy a central position in spreading seeds of pioneer species to naturally disturbed areas. The application furthers the understanding of adaptation and coupling strategies of fauna and flora within the same biogeographical zone under comparable geological and climatological conditions by means of combining field work results with individual based modelling. To perform this task the existing data has to be consolidated. It is essential to analyse the spatial and temporal availability of fruit trees and fruits as well as the germination of seeds. Furthermore the activities of three bat species (flying, hangig) and the linked tasks (eating, sleeping, seed dispersing) have to be monitored in space and time. Central aim is to l earn and model the spatio-temporal population dynamics and behaviour of key bat species in the Reserva regarding their dynamic coupling to the distributed biotic and abiotic components of a changing environment with respect to the population dynamics and the food web, and accounting for diversity in time and space.

A3.3 Spatiotemporal dynamics of shallow landslides and their biotic and abiotic controls Š an integrating synthesis

Prof. habil. Helmut Elsenbeer, Ph.D. PD Dr. habil. Andreas Huth Prof. Dr. habil. Bernd Huwe Dr. Michael Mrker Dr. Boris Schrder (En contacto con Ing. Vinicio Su‡rez Chac—n Š UCG, UTPL). Natural disturbances such as landslides have an important affect on biodiversity, pedodiversity and landscape development in the tropical montane forests of Southern Ecuador. Thus, understanding landslides is a precondition for understanding this megadiverse landscape. Our project aims at understanding and predicting the spatiotemporal patterns of landslides based on their abiotic and biotic controls, i.e. terrain and soil properties as well as plant biomass and root cohesion. We hypothesize that the spatiotemporal distribution of shallow landslides is controlled by soil mechanical and hydrological factors in combination with stabilizing and destabilizing factors of above and below ground vegetation. Identifying the spatiotemporal patterns of all driving factors on landscape scale is a prerequisite for a process-based assessment of landslide patterns and dynamics. Therefore, we de velop process-based models of forest dynamics and we regionalize terrain attributes, soil properties and hydrological factors by soil landscape modeling. The resulting information serves as static and dynamic predictors in a spatially-explicit, dynamic landscape model based on soil stability model theory. This landscape model helps to understand the interplay of the main drivers and predicts the spatiotemporal distribution of landslides along with their implications on habitat dynamics, biodiversity, risk assessment and forest management.

B1.1 PD. Dr. Arthur Sch§ler Arbuscular (Glomeromycota-) mycorrhiza in tree seedlings and its role for reforestation Counterpart in Loja, Ecuador

Juan Pablo Su‡rez Ch. The ca. 200 described arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Glomeromycota) represent only the 'tip of the iceberg' (probably <5% of existing species) of their diversity. It is therefore impossible to perform a 'classical' species-monitoring. To understand functional roles of the (obligate symbiotic) AM fungi (AMF), as we ll as to make possible their use in reforestation with indigenous trees, we will: 1) perform molecular monitoring of AMF in natural rainforest seedlings (reference data); 2) make 'trap-cultures' from seedling roots to culture associated AMF; 3) make isolates and define a fungal cocktail that is tested for its enhancement of efficiency of nursery-grown trees ('tree nursery experiment'); 4) investigate ecological roles, e.g. whether a reduced AMF diversity after pasture-burning (most AMF are heat sensitive) may lead to selection of the heat resistant bracken fern (and putatively heat resistant AMF). Such a decreased diversity (lack of essential AMF?) in the field could also be a problem for reforestation. Therefore, the AMF diversity in the succession of the pastures (distinct grasses) will be monitored, too. Trees from the 'tree nursery experiment' will be used for reforestation and parameters regarding survival, growth, and physiology will be recorded in the field. In the long term, the succession of the AMF in the reforestation plots will be monitored and compared to the forest. The goal is to identify AMF useful for an efficient reforestation. This will help to speed- up the slow succession towards a 'natural', diverse forest, which is getting even slower in future when large regions will be devoid of primary forest as a s ource for seed- introduction, etc. Defined AMF isolates will be offered for future reforestation attempts, also to the Ecuadorian partners.

B1.2 Prof. Dr. Meike Piepenbring Diversity patterns of plant parasitic microfungi and their importance for development and maintenance of plant diversity in tropical mountain rainforest in Southern Ecuador Counterpart in Ecuador Hern‡n Lucero Mosquera Plant parasitic microfungi are supposed to be rich in terms of species in habitats with a high diversity of plants. As host specific fungi infect common species more frequently than rare ones, they might contribute to t he development and maintenance of a high diversity of plants. Through multiple interactions with plants, other fungi, and animals, plant parasitic fungi probably play an important role for megadiversity. These hypotheses are discussed based on diversity patterns of different groups of plant parasitic microfungi in primary forest and vegetation affected by natural or anthropogenic disturbances in or close to t he area of the Reserva Biol—gica San Francisco in Southern Ecuador. Morphological characteristics, host specificity, and life- history strategies of the fungi will be investigated to understand their epidemiology and ecology. We want to contribute to t he understanding of mechanisms of restoration ecology, the biological control of weeds, and to the definition of certain groups of plant parasitic fungi as indicators for the degree of vegetation disturbance. A comparison with data on plant parasitic microfungi in Panama will allow to estimate the diversity of this group at a large geographical scale and will show whether the observed diversity patterns correspond to generally occurring phenomena.

B1.3 Ingrid Kottke Mycorrhizal fungi for growth and rehabilitation of orchids of a tropical mountain rain forest in southern Ecuador. Cooperating scientist in Ecuador: Hernan Lucero Orchids are the most species rich group of vascular plants in the megadiverse tropical mountain forest of southern Ecuador and also of high economic value. At same time, orchids are extremely endangered because of fast loss of habitats, and strategies for rehabilitation should be developed. Germination of orchids, and thus their occurrence, depends on symbiotic fungi. In the investigation area, o nly the mycobionts of four epiphytic orchids are so far known from previous studies by the applicant. The fungi belong to Tulasnellales and Sebacinales, but are distinct from species of other countries. In order to understand natural recruitment potential in the tropical mountain area and to raise orchids more successfully in the greenhouse, vertical and horizontal transfer potential of the mycorrhizal fungi among orchid species and habitats has to be known. A comprehensive inventory shall be carried out on the mycobionts of terrestrial, humus inhabiting, and stem epiphytic orchids on regenerating landslides and man managed forest sites, the forest borders, and inside the pristine forest. Fungi shall be identified by molecular sequencing, isolation, and sexual stages. Fungal support of micro-propagated orchids shall be tested. Other main ecological constraints for orchids like climate, pollinators, and pathogens shall be considered in cooperation with members of the research unit.

B1.5 Dr. Ulrich Meve, Prof. Dr. Sigrid Liede-Schumann & Dr. Doris Wolf Reproductive Strategies in Orchids in tropical mountains of southern Ecuador. Cooperating scientist in Ecuador: Hernan Lucero / Juan Pablo Suarez Orchids, in particular the subtribe Pleurothallidinae, which comprises almost exclusively epiphytes, constitute the most species-rich Angiosperm group at the ECSF. They therefore constitute the ideal group to study the reasons leading to diversification and the mechanisms keeping diversity at a high level. We hypothesize that habitat differentiation plays only a minor role to explain the diversity encountered and that most factors will be found in the reproductive cycle. Therefore, we propose to investigate the reproductive cycle in pleurothallinid orchids, with particular reference to floral attractance, occurence of deceit pollination, fruit set and genetic diversity encountered in the populations. In a later phase of the project, the results of this study can be used to compare epiphytic and terrestrial orchids in terms of reproductive strategy. We will monitor a number of phenological parameters to estimate reproductive success of the species involved. We will further analyze the flowers in detail for attractants to pollinators with particular emphasis on deceit strategies and we w ill conduct observations for pollinators. Finally, we will assess genetic diversity of the populations using AFLPs.

B1.6 Dr. Nicole M. Nske Development of biodiversity of lichens and bryophytes on reforestation areas and landslides in the South Ecuadorian mountain rain forest. En contacto con Biol. Stefano Torracchi. Tropical mountain forests are highly affected by clearings and landslides. Little is known about recolonization and succession dynamics of species after such forest disturbance, in particular those of cryptogams. The project aims to investigate how and to what extent the cryptogam biodiversity of the mature forest becomes restored on deforested land and landslides by forest management and spontaneous developments. For this purpose the lichen and bryophyte diversity on reforestations and landslides of different type, age and elevation will be analysed, including measurements of abiotic factors (e. g. microclimate). The main study area will be the Reserva Biol—gica San Francisco (Zamora-Chinchipe, southern Ecuador) and its environs. Recent plantations of indigenious trees on the northern slopes of the San Francisco valley and landslides in the reserve provide the opportunity to study recolonization and succession processes of the lichen and bryophyte vegetation in a real time series. For comparative purposes investigations will be expanded to reforestations and landslides outside of the reserve (e. g. in the Podocarpus National Park).

B2.1 Dr. Ute Hamer and Prof. Dr. Franz Makeschin Organic matter and microbial community structure in soils En contacto con Hernan Lucero / Juan Ignacio Burneo. The objectives of the proposed project are to quantify organic matter turnover in top soils in relation to organic matter quality, activity and community structure of soil microorganisms under different land-use in the mountain rain forest region of southern Ecuador. The effects of clean-burning, fertilisation and litter quality in pastures will be investigated and key factors controlling efficient re-colonization of burned and heavily used soils towards natural conditions in succession determined. In the fertilisation experiment effects of 14C- and 15N-labelled urea and rock phosphate will be used in order to quantify the effects on soil organic matter (SOM) tu rnover in connection to changes in soil microbial community structure. Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis together with ergosterol determination will be used for characterising the soil microbial community. The degradability of plant litter typical of the respective land-use system will be measured and referred to li tter quality (C, N, P, lignin content). Using the different 13C signature of pasture and forest vegetation, the source of SOM mineralised preferentially by soil microorganisms will be identified. Thus, a detailed acquisition of processes and mechanisms in the soil organic matter cycle in soils of the mountain rainforest region of Ecuador will be obtained and SOM turnover modelled.

C 1.1 Prof. Dr. Gerhard Mller-Starck Genetic diversity of tree species in tropical mountain rain forests in South Ecuador: quantification, dynamics and management. En contacto con Juan Pablo Su‡rez / Lorena Riofrio It is the aim to assess genetic diversity within and among population samples of tropical tree species (natural stands, nursery and reforestations) and its dynamics during reproduction: (1) As a first step, the available small set of genetic markers need to b e extended by utilising nuclear microsatellites from other plant species. Verification of the mode of inheritance will be based on single tree offspring. (2) Codominant polymorphic gene markers (incl. isoenzymes) will be employed to identify multi-locus genotypes, to quantify intra- and interpopulational genetic variation, adaptive potentials and inbreeding (genetic certification, criteria for forest management). (3) Studies on reproduction under multi-species conditions will be performed via paternity analysis. Estimates on reproduction efficient population sizes will help to better understand principles of reproduction, adaptation and survival in megadiverse systems. The studies address two significant coniferous species (Podocarpus oleifolius, Prumnopitys montana) and two deciduous ones (Cedrela montana, Tabebuia chrysantha). The genetic surveys are closely coordinated with C2.1, C3.1, B1.3 and B1.5. Thesis students of the UTPL/Loja will participate in the genetic studies.

C3.1 Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Dr. h.c. Erwin Beck Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Jrg Bendix The threat of southern bracken: Investigation and modelling of a fire-triggered succession that leads to the destruction of pastures in the area of the tropical mountain rain forest of southern Ecuador, and the potential for repastorization of abandoned areas En contacto con Juan Pablo Su‡rez / Equipo Micripropagaci—n UTPL Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum s.l.) is a very aggressive cosmopolitan weed that causes severe problems for farmers, foresters and conservationists. It rapidly forms closed canopies and thus outcompetes pasture grasses, forbs and tree saplings. Due to its complex rhizome system, it evades most kinds of control. Rhizome growth and frond production is stimulated by fire. While bracken in the northern hemisphere has been intensely studied, biology and control of its southern representatives, e.g. the neotropical Pt. arachnoideum is less well known. Based on a preceding study in the RBSF, the new project investigates the competition of Pt. arachnoideum with the major pasture grass of the area, Setaria sphacelata, following the common practice of periodic burning of the pastures. Competitive growth of both species will be simulated with a grid-based vegetation model which uses traits of average individuals (Plant Functional Types PFTs). Para meterizations of PFTs will be done with data from field surveys. The measurements will be completed by a sophisticated burning experiment, to achieve the data required for modelling the different responses of both species to fire/heat, and finally to predict in a scenario the consequences of repeated pasture burning. In addition ongoing experiments for bracken control will be continued.

C3.4 Prof. Dr. Franz Makeschin Dr. Luis Miguel Romero - UTPL Development of an agroforestry site classification model The specific knowledge about the site resources and the degradation status of soils is a key prerequisite for the planning and the design of a sustainable landuse in the subtropics and tropics. However, site classification systems available do not consider the site potentials and the degradation status of the soils sufficiently. The objective of the research project is to develop an agroforestry site classification model for the rain forest region of Southern Ecuador in natural forests and deforested areas under pasture and succession. Using the results of a systematic site mapping in the pilot region of the valley San Francisco representative site types and site groups will be defined and assessed based on key profiles and major soil groups (WRB) and complemented by specific adapted criteria of the GLASOD-classification (UNEP). Additionally the potential for improvement of pasture productivity and soil fertility will be determined in a fertilization experiment in order to determine the sustainable carrying capacity of the pastures; this research will be carried out in cooperation with the Ecuadorian partner university Universidad Tˇcnica Particular de Loja UTPL. Dominant region-specific site and agroforestry landuse-units will be defined and a GIS-supported site classification model developed.
