Developing sustainable methods for common vole management (Microtus arvalis). Coordination (Project)

...Methods suitable for organic production will be applied in field trials along the refuge-crop interface: 1) deep furrow with repellent dispensers and repellent application in artificial tunnels and 2) deep furrows with bucket traps or 'self-service traps' equipped with an attractant....

SFB 552: B4 - Drought effects on soil water regime and water partitioning in cacao agroforest (Project)

...The main objectives of this sub-project are (1) to analyse the rates and depths of soil water depletion in natural forest and agroforest, (2) to study separately the water use and partitioning of shade trees and cacao plants in the agroforestry system, and (3) to test for both land use systems whether hydraulic redistribution is an important mechanism to cope with drought. ...

Model based risk assessment of oak processionary moth in climate change. Subproject 1 (Project)

...Owing to the increasing occurrence of oak processionary moth (OPM), Thaumetopoea processionea L., in Central Europe since the 1990s, both host trees and human health are progressively more endangered by larval feeding and setae produced by the caterpillars, respectively. ...Primarily, FVA works on project parts TP1 and TP3. TP1 examines bionomics of OPM and contains investigations of phenology, population density and setae pollution as decisive parameters for model development. ...

Improving the effectiveness of non-chemical alternatives for the management of Norway rats (Project)

...To this end, the extent to which trap trapping could be improved in terms of effectiveness and animal welfare by a) accompanying structures such as trap protection stations, b) bait and c) trap location will be examined. In addition, d) a prototype will be derived from a-c and tested in rat control (via an external service provider with responsibility for ensuring that work with animals is only carried out as part of upcoming control measures - i.e. without additional trapping just for the project. ...

Development of energy-efficient systems for high-quality fruit drying (Project)

...Objective of the transfer project is to improve drying facilities jointly with a manufacturer by using the simulation tools developed in subproject E1 of SFB 564. To reduce energy costs, fossil fuel will be replaced by biomass and biogas by integration of combustion units. ...

Carbon and Timber stock of the German forest - Improvement of projections of current and future CO2 stock by means of ecophysiological and empirical forest growth models (Project)

...For this purpose a process-based forest model (4C) and an empirical forest simulator (WEHAM) are coupled to generate climate-sensitive growth functions that will be used to estimate the climate sensitivity of carbon and timber simulations. For example, the WEHAM base scenario (which is currently used in policy, timber resource and forest management planning) will be evaluated under different regional climate scenarios (according to RCP2.6 to 8.5. In parallel, rare extreme weather conditions that have significant implications for tree growth and whose occurrence may be altered due to climate change, are identified. ...
