FOR 438: An Integrative Analysis of Mechanisms of Probiotic Action in Pigs (Collaborative project)

The aim of the research unit is to obtain a sophisticated picture of the complex functional mechanism by which selected probiotics affect both the intestinal tract and the entire host organism. The integration of several disciplines will enable us to investigate the reaction of the studied animals upon administered probiotics including alterations of the intestinal microbiota, the gut morphology...

FOR 546: (Collaborative project)

As primary producers of organic matter, plants constitute an attractiveVerticillium habitat for micro-organisms. Different types of interactions are described like killing of infected cells by necrotrophic fungi, exploitation of resources from living host cells by biotrophic pathogens, and symbiotic interactions which benefit both sides. The life style of the soil-borne, vascular fungal pathogen...

GRK 1070: Modeling Material Flows and Production Systems for Sustainable Resource Use in Intensified Crop Production in the North China Plain (Collaborative project)

The project aims at developing cropping systems and management practices for the North China Plain that will ensure high intensities and will at the same time be environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable. This requires clearly identifying, measuring, and modeling the related material flow effects in cropping systems. Strategies to reduce or avoid negative effects have to be...

GRK 1397: Regulation of soil organic matter and nutrient turnover in organic agriculture (Collaborative project)

The regulation of the budget of soil organic matter (SOM) and nutrients by management is a central focus in agriculture, especially in organic agriculture. The budgets of SOM and nutrients determine soil fertility, i.e. the long-term productivity of soils. However, the underlying processes of soil fertility in organic agriculture are not well understood.

FOR 456: The role of biodiversity for element cycling and trophic interactions: An experimental approach in a grassland community (Collaborative project)

A long-term experiment has been established in order to study the interactions between plant diversity and ecosystem processes, focussing on element cycling and trophic interactions. 60 plant species, native and common to the Central European Arrhenatherum grasslands serve as species pool. Mixtures of one to 60 plant species and of one to four plant functional groups have been seeded as newly...

Mata Atlântica (Collaborative project)

The program Mata Atlântica aims to develop strategies and action plans for the conservation, sustainable management and use of endangered remnants of the Brazilian Atlantic forest. These strategies will be based on interdisciplinary research and provide a long-term vision. The application of scientific results should improve the efficiency of measures to protect the biodiversity of the Mata...

DIVA - The relationship between Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Grassland Ecosystems (Collaborative project)

The BMBF-funded project 'The relationship between Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Grassland Ecosystems' is a collaborative research effort of the Friedrich-Schiller-University and the Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry, both in Jena, and the Office for Ecological Studies in Bayreuth. Using grasslands in Thuringia as model ecosystems, the project is designed to investigate the...

MED-VET-NET Network for prevention and control of zoonoses (Collaborative project)

Diseases naturally transmitted from animals to man termed zoonoses, constitute major public health risks and generate emerging disease problems. Such diseases especially when food-borne have significant social and financial impacts in Europe and need to be addressed across the whole food supply chain. The overall objective of MED-VET-NET is to develop a Network of Excellence for the integration...
