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
(2022-02-04)Animal welfare is of general interest, and in the farming arena, efforts have increased to create optimal conditions for poultry production. Detailed and standardized studies on specific behavioral issues, such as fear, ... -
Drinking behaviour of llamas (Lama glama) and horses (Equus caballus) in response to saline drinking water
(2023-03-24)Saline drinking water can play an important role in the nutrition of domestic animals, either through the salinization of natural drinking water sources or the intentional application as part of rehydration therapy after ... -
Identification and functional characterization of ENHANCED GRAVITROPISM 2 controlling the root setpoint angle in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
(2023-03-15)Root gravitropism allows plant roots to penetrate deep into the soil and is one of the main factors determining the root setpoint angle. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the root setpoint angle of crop ... -
Technology adoption and upscaling of detailed farm-level models
(2023-03-06)Adoption of digital farming technology can be an important driver for agricultural productivity enhancement and transformation towards a sustainable farming system. Thus, understanding farmers’ technology adoption decisions ... -
Urban Flood Resilience: From Benchmarking Resilience to Accelerating Transformation Using Crowdsourcing Data
(2023-02-23)This thesis represents a significant contribution to the field of disaster resilience in the context of flood hazards in Iran and Germany. In the face of increasingly unpredictable climate-related extreme events, it is ... -
Improving children’s environmental health in Metro Manila, Philippines, through a school water, sanitation, and hygiene intervention
(2023-02-15)Millions of children are exposed to inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) in schools globally. Diarrhoea is a leading cause of disease, while dehydration impairs cognitive performance and malnutrition hinders ... -
Evaluations of agri-environmental schemes based on observational farm data: The importance of covariate selection
(2022-01-13)Evaluations of agri-environmental schemes (AES) based on observational farm data generally use a matching algorithm for comparing participating and non-participating farms. To mitigate the potential post-matching covariate ... -
Challenges related to statistical methods and sensor systems for the daily prediction of health disorders in individual dairy cows
(2023-02-02)The use of digital support systems has become a standard in dairy farming, and significant effort has been made to detect individual animals that are in need for a treatment by using sensor data. However, developing systems ... -
Development of root phenotyping methods and QTL analysis of root traits in grapevine mapping populations
(2023-01-30)Facing climatic change and upcoming extreme weather events require the adaptation of agricultural crops to conditions like extended drought periods in the future. Therefore, the incorporation of promising morphological and ... -
