Lignite combustion was the Fly ash impact in forest ecosystems in major driver for health and growth of the forests in Dübener Heide. Northeastern Germany – an assessment and regionalization approachDissertation Christine FürstNowadays, forests in Dübener Heide are characterized by an ample regeneration of broad-leaved tree species. Negative effects of fly ash deposition are not anymore detectable.Micro-structures of fly ash. Its detectablity is based on the content in ferrimagnetic iron oxides, such as magnetite (Fe O ) and maghemite 3 4(γ-Fe O ).2 3Cover photo: Fly ash is a multi-facted material composed by residuals of organic matter, Prepared in the frame of the joint research project slags and amorphous vitreous „ENFORCHANGE“ (FKZ 0330634 K, German particles.
