Concomitant research model-project chance.natur (Project)
The Model-project aims at joining Rural Development and Nature Conservation. What are the chances of linking Nature Conservation and Rural Development? What are the problems? This is the central question of the concomitant research on the model-project chance.natur chance.nature is a joint mocel-project of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) and the Federal Ministry for the...

Application of solid and liquid products of hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) in agricultural soils and assessment of the potential of carbon sequestration in soils (Project)
The aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of the application of soild and liquid products of hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) on soil properties and functions and to determine their potential for carbon sequestration in soils

Effects of application of fermentation residues from biogas production systems on carbon and nitrogen transformation in agricultural soils (Project)
An efficient nutrient recycling via fermentation residues is of main importance for the sustainability of biogas production systems in agriculture. The influence of biogas waste produced from different substrates on the processes of carbon and nitrogen transformation in agricultural soils is analyzed. The recalcitrance of its organic matter in soils is determined and the potential for soil carbon...

Influence of ploughing up grassland soils on carbon and nitrogen transformation and their assessment in context of environmental impacts (Project)
Conversion of grassland to arable land induces enhanced emissions of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. What is the magnitude of these enhanced emissions and can they be counteracted by avoiding soil tillage during conversion? These questions are tackled in two field studies in North-Rhine Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein. The conversion of grassland to arable land has...

Greenhouse gas emissions from application of biogas slurries in Emilia-Romagna (Project)
The project aims to determine emission factors for ammonia and nitrous oxide from the application of various animal slurries and biogas slurries under future German climate conditions. Methods combine laboratory incubations and field measurements in the region of Emilia Romagna. Treatments encompass pig slurry, cattle slurry and maize, undigested and digested substrates and separated and...

Interactions of land use, climate and soil development in the context of settlement history in the Decapolis-Region (Northern Jordan) (Project)
Several authors postulated that severe degradation of soils in Jordan and the Levant was caused by agricultural mismanagement and deforestation. This idea served as explanation of historic developments like decay and abandonment of cities. However it is not yet clarified whether the present erosion is merely a function of land use or gradual warming since the last ice age. Historic field systems...

Economic analysis of certification systems for organic food and farming (CERTCOST) (Project)
With the ongoing growth of the organic sector and the spread of organic production across the EU, the field of organic certification has become a maze of competing labels and logos, involving different private and public standards, in addition to European law. This diversity reflects the specific conditions for organic operators in countries or regions but can also lead to confusion for both...

Forest resource sustainability through bio-based-composite development (FORBIOPLAST) (Project)
The forest biomass represents an abundant, renewable, no-food competition and low cost resource that can play an alternative role to petro-resources. In spite of positive experimental results industrial production and marketing of materials derived from renewable resources are rarely achieved because of high processing costs and low properties of final products usually targeted to single use...

Targeting environmental pollution with engineered microbial systems a la carte (TARPOL) (Project)
Synthetic Biology-SB- deals with rational combination of biological properties with central elements of engineering design. By merging the genetic tool box already available with engineering disciplines & computer sciences there is a great opportunity for a new approach to environmental pollution problems through application of modelling techniques & organizing development of novel biological...
