Assessment of farmland ownership structures in Germany (Project)

How is farmland ownership in Germany distributed? We try to tackle this question by analysing a nationwide sample.Little is known about ownership’s distribution of agricultural land in Germany. Official statistics only refer to the extent of land owned by agricultural holdings. However, who is owner of the leased land, and how is the real estate property distributed? Is there a significant...

Institutional economic analysis and approaches to improve organization and management in small-scale private forest (Project)

In the research project, the framework for the management of small-scale private forests is to be investigated. The aim is to make recommendations for its further development.Sustainable forest management in Germany provides numerous ecosystem services. The responsibility for this is largely in the hands of private forest owners. 48 percent of the 11.4 million hectares of forest in Germany are...

Wood energy consumption in private households (Project)

The aim of this project is to empirically determine the wood energy consumption of German private households in 2020. The necessary collection of data will be undertaken for 10 000 households. The results will be an important basis for reporting and implemented in the estimation of felling for Germany.Wood energy is an important part of total renewable energy consumption in Germany. Also, in...

Integrated Forest Development and Roundwood Supply in a Global Forest Products Model (Project)

Which economic theories describe the relationship between socioeconomic variables and forest development? How can global roundwood production be modeled with the help of theories of forest development? We want to improve the global forest products model GFPM with an extension of the module on forest development.The economic partial equilibrium model "Global Forest Products Model" (GFPM) simulates...

Joint project Genetics and Breeding of Ash – subproject 1: Selection, characterisation and preservation of vital ash trees and investigation of genetic causes of resistance to ash dieback (Project)

Preservation of common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) through selection, characterisation and conservation of vital plus-trees and investigations of genetic cause of resistance to ash dieback.Since it was first detected in Germany in 2002, ash dieback caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (asexual stage: Chalara fraxinea) has spread throughout Germany and large parts of Europe. The occurrence...

Photovoltaics on agricultural land: Economy of different concepts (Project)

In order to implement the energy transition, more electricity from renewable energies is needed. Photovoltaic systems on agricultural areas are becoming more and more important in this respect. In order to produce food and electricity on the same area, we are investigating new photovoltaic concepts.Due to the energy transition, the expansion of electricity generation in photovoltaic systems (PV)...

Belt-Eel: The migratory behavior of silver eels in the Baltic Sea (Project)

The Baltic Sea and its tributaries are an important distribution area of ​​the European eel. The Danish Belt-Sea with their three narrow straits Little Belt, Great Belt and Öresund provides a geographical bottleneck, which all Baltic Sea eels have to pass during their spawning migration into the western Atlantic. This geographic situation offers ideal conditions for studying the migration of...

Establishing an innovative and transnational feed production approach for reduced climate impact of the aquaculture sector and future food supply - subproject 1 (Project)

DIL will investigate the climate impacts and the social acceptance of a case-specific nutrient upheaval in aquaculture and A. platensis-based food systems. The life cycle assessment of aquaculture systems is carried out and the economic effects are taken into account through a life cycle cost analysis. Such an approach will target the context of mitigating numerous challenges, such as: climate...

Establishing an innovative and transnational feed production approach for reduced climate impact of the aquaculture sector and future food supply - subproject 2 (Project)

The main objective of CLIMAQUA is to develop a flexible system for the production of Arthrospira platensis (A. platensis) biomass that can be used in a decentralized manner in the areas of aquaculture and fish processing, thus contributing to regional development and the reduction of greenhouse gases. The scientific, but also technical working objective of the project is the development of feed...
