Kurz und knackig mit Links zu Ihrer Website (siehe Newsletter für Mitglieder) oder komplexe Fachinformationen mit Bild und Text veranschaulichen (siehe: Fachartikel-Newsletter mit DOI)? Was nützt und unterstützt Ihre Leserinnen und Leser? Sollen beispielsweise beteiligte Forschende vernetzt, Mitglieder gebunden oder die Öffentlichkeit informiert werden?
Daran orientierten sich die Konzepte und Inhalte für die Newsletter, die in meinem Redaktionsbüro entstehen.
7th issue (January 2020)
All eight projects of the German Research Consortium present latest research results:
The Bulletin also covers latest improvements of the data warehouse and the research station in the tropical mountain forest in Ecuador.

6th issue (February 2019)
The first Tabebuia Bulletin of our new Research Unit RESPECT summarizes the installation of our new plot system including the measuring devices and first verification of the newly established methods. First research achievements include the following aspects: plant functional types (PFT), water and carbon fluxes, tree above- and belowground traits, soil development, photosynthetic gas exchange measurements, abiotic covariates, functional trait diversity and herbivory, and optimization of biomass gain on pastures. Our Ecuadorian partner NCI reports advances in the establishment of newly protected areas and the Ecuador’s INABIO institution introduces itself. Videos of our previous research are available via our website and data warehouse, which now also offers new search features for publications as well as upload information.

5th issue (October 2016)
Members of the German Research Consortium met two of their many obligations: They published another high-ranking, multi-author paper and summarized their research results in a booklet for knowledge transfer. The Coordinators also describe how the research stations will operate from now on and how research will continue in a new Research Unit after the official end of the present Research Consortium.
The Science News cover a plant-frugivore network analysis and progresses towards reliable and easy to measure indicators for biodiversity, climate change and land-use alternations in the tropical mountain rainforest, as well as pine-fungi relationships and carbon stocks in Pine plantations in the Paramo ecosystem.

4th issue (December 2015)
Science and Knowledge-Transfer news encompass
- first full-length paper on the competition between pasture grass (Setaria) and strong weed (bracken)
- how tree roots and the mycorrhiza fungi respond to nutrient manipulations
- in which way phosphate liberating soil enzymes depend on climatic conditions
- why the altitudinal gradient of tree assemblages disproved the general validity of the Tropical Conservatism Hypothesis.
- which measures are appropriate to determine daily carbon uptake in trees
- which tree functional types display different water relations in the dry forest
- how to create a soil map for remote or less accessible areas
- which sampling design for digital soil mapping closes the gap between the statistical desired quality of samples and operational applicability
- in which way the high resolution climate indicator system can be used to recognize climate change in southern Ecuador
Also: how workshops enthuse pupils with bird diversity and seed dispersal, teach science-directed advances in ecosystem monitoring and rehabilitation of abandoned areas

Um die Mitglieder dieser multi-nationalen DFG-Forschungsgruppe (Research Unit, FOR) zu vernetzen und sich gegenseitig knapp aber zitierfähig (DOI) über jüngste Forschungsfortschritte zu informieren, veröffentlicht das Forschungsteam regelmäßig ein Bulletin. Darüber hinaus bleiben DFG und andere Forschungsförderer auf dem neuesten Stand über Entwicklungen auf der Forschungsstation sowie der Aktivitäten der nationalen Partner-Organisationen und Partner-Universitäten. Der Newsletter wird in englischer Sprache veröffentlicht. Die interdisziplinäre Forschungsgruppe mit Biowissenschaftlern, Klimaforscherinnen, Bodenkundlern und Ökosystem-Modelliererinnen, u.a. untersucht Antworten und Rückkopplungseffekte der Biodiversität auf Umwelt- und Klimaveränderungen in den extrem artenreichen Ökosystemen im Süden Ecuadors.
