Biodiversity and distribution of edible saturniidae (Lepidoptera) and their potential for mass rearing in Kenya
(2025-03-26)Edible insects including saturniid caterpillars are traditionally consumed in sub-Saharan Africa. Saturniids are utilized both as food and a source of income for rural communities. This study includes a review of available ... -
How to Fulfil the UN Sustainability Goals: Rethinking the Role and Concept of Money in the Light of Sustainability
(2025-03-25)The cumulative dissertation consists of two publications, which complement each other. The main work is a book of 356 pages published by Springer Nature, which is a complex treatise on the role and concept of money in the ... -
Erfassung struktureller und chromatischer Pflanzenmerkmale mittels intelligenter, bildgebender 2D Verfahren im Bereich der Gemüsezüchtung
(2025-03-10)Seit Beginn der Landwirtschaft beruht die vom Menschen gesteuerte Entwicklung der Kulturpflanzen auf Auslese und Rekombination. Ziel dieses Prozesses ist es einen Genotyp zu schaffen, der optimal an die jeweiligen ... -
Modelling Hydrological, Economic and Governance Aspects of Water Allocation in the Lake Naivasha Basin Kenya
(2025-03-05)Freshwater scarcity poses a significant challenge in many parts of the world, particularly in arid and semiarid areas prone to volatile rainfall and water supply. The growing population and climate change exacerbate this ... -
Assessment of intelligent packaging systems to improve resource efficiency along the supply chain of fresh produce
(2025-02-21)The aim of this thesis was the assessment of intelligent packaging systems along different supply chains of fresh produce and their contribution to improve resource efficiency. As part of the work, a novel method was used ... -
Environmental impacts of silage production: Formation, emission and fixation of gases from field to barn
(2025-02-21)Silages are essential feeds in livestock husbandry. Losses should be minimised to close the nutrient cycle between crop and animal production. Besides, losses are generally associated with emissions of climate and environmental ... -
Geometric Algorithms for the Visual Exploration of Spatiotemporal Data
(2025-02-20)The visualization of spatial data is an important research field in geoinformation science. Especially nowadays, where positioning sensors are widely spread, many (large) data sets have spatial information. As an example, ... -
The influence of dietary concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus on performance and nutrient excretion of growing-finishing pigs, potential genotype by diet interactions and the role of gut microbiome
(2025-01-30)Rising feed costs and a high environmental burden from nutrient excretion need a re-evaluation of feeding and breeding strategies in pig production. Approaches focus on minimizing nitrogen and phosphorus (N/P) excretion, ... -
Robotic Vision for Precision Intervention in Horticulture
(2025-01-20)Striving towards optimal sustainable agriculture systems to address the world’s growing demand for food, precision agriculture has emerged as a key strategy. In recent years robotic systems have gained remarkable capabilities ... -
Root trait response to drought, recovery, and P deficiency of upland rice
(2025-01-16)Phosphorus deficit and intermittent drought can cause high-yield reductions in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production. Large differences in tolerance of low P availability and drought resilience were found in the upland rice, ... -
Importance of root-soil contact conditions for the microbiota in the soil-rhizosphere-plant continuum
(2025-01-14)The contact zone between a root and the surrounding soil mediates processes such as nutrient and water uptake and the interaction with microorganisms. Despite the importance of the contact zone, there is a lack of understanding ... -
Data-driven Image Generation for Crop Growth Modeling
(2025-01-09)Crop growth models play a crucial role in agriculture as they help to understand how crops grow and thrive. They allow farmers to predict how much harvest they can expect, which is important when planning, storing, and ... -
Molecular mechanisms of Pseudomonas-enhanced plant performance in Brachypodium under limited nitrogen
(2025-01-08)While the world population is increasing, the use of nitrogenous fertilizers has become obligatory to increase yields to meet the global food demand. Overuse of synthesized N fertilizers does not only negatively impact the ... -
Analyzing Crowd-Sourced Trajectories to Infer Routing Preferences of Cyclists
(2025-01-06)In the last decade, the activities of many volunteers have resulted in almost complete representations of street networks and large sets of trajectories. The latter have primarily been collected by recreational sportspeople ... -
Development of an experimental gravimetric geoid model for Nigeria
(2024-12-17)Due to the increasing demand for precise mapping, surveying, geodesy, and large-scale infrastructure projects, the establishment of a precise national geoid model for Nigeria is essential. In this doctoral thesis, an ... -
Evidence on the role of context for agricultural innovation and conservation
(2024-12-13)This dissertation aims to explore how agricultural innovation and policies can make agri-food systems more sustainable by assessing impacts and diffusion patterns of innovations, as well as policy impacts across geographic ... -
Vision-Based Semantic Scene Understanding for Agricultural Robots
(2024-12-13)An essential task of agriculture has always been the production of food, feed, and fiber for an ever-growing world population with constrained arable land available. In the past decades, this challenge has been primarily ... -
Chopped Miscanthus biomass for soil organic matter build-up and evaluation of nitrogen and carbon dynamics in arable farming systems
(2024-12-12)Arable farming practices affect soil C and N dynamics and thus have a crucial impact on global climate change and on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Soil nutrient cycling is driven by soil microbial biomass, making ... -
A global drought monitoring framework using GRACE/-FO data assimilation
(2024-12-09)Extreme climate phenomena like droughts can lead to a shortage of available water resources that in turn can cause serious consequences such as famines. Monitoring of extremes is extremely important, and past research ... -
Beyond Zooming: Models and Algorithms for Mobile Maps with Extended Interaction Techniques
(2024-12-05)This thesis focuses on the development and evaluation of novel interfaces for the presentation of large and detailed geographic data sets on mobile devices. Especially when the density of information is high, a major ...
