Soil Erosion under Spatially Heterogeneous Field Conditions: Experimental Analysis and Dynamic Modeling
(2023-06-28)Soil erosion is a significant problem for most of the agroecosystems worldwide, as it is one of the primary causes of soil degradation caused by a loss of the topsoil layer. Most of the existing soil erosion models provide ... -
Conditional cash transfers, migration, and child welfare in rural El Salvador
(2023-06-23)Governments and households take various initiatives to protect and improve children’s welfare. The present research explores how effective some of those initiatives are in protecting child nutrition, increasing schooling, ... -
Improving nitrogen retention in soils treated with Pig and cattle slurry through the use of organic soil amendments
(2023-06-21)Animal slurry has recently experienced a renaissance as organic nitrogen (N) fertilizer because, on the one hand, sustainable organic farming is receiving growing attention in order to protect the environment and, on the ... -

(2023-04)Ziel des Forschungsprojektes „Nutzung der regenerativen Energiequelle Abluftreinigungsanlage zum Kühlen und Heizen von Tierställen – Fallstudienuntersuchung“ (EnergARA) war es, durch Langzeituntersuchungen in der Praxis ... -
Characterization of porcine milk exosomes from different stages of lactation
(2023-05-11)Exosomes are membranous vesicles considered major players in cell-cell communication. Milk provides adequate nutrition, transfers immunity, and promotes neonate development, and milk exosomes are suggested to have a key ... -
The effect of information provision on attitude, intention, and food choice behaviour: Four experimental studies
(2023-05-09)The agricultural and food sector in Germany is facing a number of challenges. Consumers are increasingly dissatisfied with contemporary livestock production and, in addition, livestock farming accounts for a substantial ... -
Improvement of Piglet Rearing's Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Using Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers: A Two-Year Case Study
(2023-02-11)Pig farming in mechanically ventilated barns requires much electricity for ventilation or exhaust air purification. Furthermore, thermal energy is needed to fulfill the animals’ temperature requirements, especially in ... -
Glucocorticoids in relation to behavior, morphology, and physiology as proxy indicators for the assessment of animal welfare: A systematic mapping review
(2023-01-06)Translating theoretical concepts of animal welfare into quantitative assessment protocols is an ongoing challenge. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are frequently used as physiological measure in welfare assessment. The interpretation ... -
Recovering from Financial Implications of Flood Impacts: The Role of Risk Transfer in the West African Context
(2022-07-10)In many West African river basins, households regularly experience floods and the associated impacts. In the absence of widely accessible formal risk transfer mechanisms (e.g., insurance), households often have to cope ... -
Differences among domestic chicken breeds in tonic immobility responses as a measure of fearfulness
(2023-04-04)Background: One priority for animal welfare is for animals to experience less fear, especially during human contact. For domestic animals, breeds that are less fearful may provide genetic resources to develop strains with ... -
Triggering cognitive dissonance with textual information and images: Data from three experiments with meat-eaters
(2023-04-05)This article presents data from three experiments in which we triggered and measured cognitive dissonance in meat-eaters. Cognitive dissonance is a well-established concept in the social psychology literature; however, ... -
Rural livelihoods, community-based conservation, and human–wildlife conflict: Scope for synergies?
(2022-08-01)Halting biodiversity loss is a major contemporary challenge. Nature protection can help conserve biodiversity, but increasing wildlife numbers inside protected areas and shrinking habitats intensify interactions between ... -
Vegetation diversity in East African wetlands: Cocktail algorithms supported by a vegetation-plot database
(2022-12-08)Aims: Wetlands in East Africa are important ecosystems for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service provisioning, yet threatened by degradation and conversion into croplands. Conservation and land use management ... -
Unusually warm winter seasons may compromise the performance of current phenology models: Predicting bloom dates in young apple trees with PhenoFlex
(2022-07-15)Phenology models are crucial tools for assessing climate change impacts in forestry, ecology and agriculture. Such models are typically calibrated with observational or experimental data and validated with a set of independent ... -
The governance of plant breeding - a social-ecological systems perspective
(2023-04-13)Climate change and social conflicts put modern agricultural systems under pressure, necessitating systemic transformations of these systems towards sustainability. At the core of these sustainability challenges to agriculture ... -
Nutrient elements in micro- to nanosized fractions: occurrence, transport, and plant uptake in agroecosystems
(2023-04-04)As phosphorus (P) is a non-substitutable nutrient for all organisms and thus pivotal in supporting crop productivity, limited and unevenly distributed phosphate rocks drive research concerns on substituted P fertilizers ... -
Jumping on the Bandwagon of Responsibility – Or Not?: Consumers' Perceived Role in the Meat Sector
(2022-05-21)It is evident that sustainable meat consumption and production require shared responsibility for actions and consequences by consumers and producers. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the relevant focus areas within ... -
COVID-19 and changes in global agri-food trade
(2022-04-09)COVID-19 has raised questions about the resilience of agri-food trade to global shocks to the system. This paper analyses the changes in agri-food trade (values, extensive and intensive margin, and diversification) during ... -
Sustainable Innovations: A Qualitative Study on Farmers’ Perceptions Driving the Diffusion of Beneficial Soil Microbes in Germany and the UK
(2022-05-10)Legislation and consumer preference for more sustainability in the food system require farmers to adopt more stringent sustainably measures without sacrificing business profitability. Scientific and technological ... -
Exploring animal genetic resources of the domestic chicken and their behavior in the open field
