Soil-plant-atmosphere interactions at the regional scale (Project)
Coupled atmosphere-land surface models are important tools for assessing the impact of global climate change on a regional scale. These models are critically dependent on an accurate representation of land surface exchange processes. This project aims at improving our understanding of soil-plant-atmosphere interactions and their mathematical description in land surface models. We will study the...

Coupling pyrolysis with mid-infrared spectroscopy for the parameterisation of soil carbon turnover models on a regional scale (Project)
This subproject will develop new analytical methods to parameterise soil carbon dynamics sub-models at a regional scale and further contribute to the development of improved soil organic matter models with increased capabilities to account for pool heterogeneity, temperature response and calibration. The parameterised soil sub-models will, in conjunction with Expert-N and a coupled...

Effects of climate change on yield and yield quality of selected crops – understanding the mechanistic background of CO2, heat and drought effects on wheat (Project)
This subroject aims to provide experimental data to gain a basic understanding of crop response in terms of yield formation and yield quality under climate change. Data will directly feed into model development and validation, and will be available to the whole consortium. Mini canopies of wheat will be exposed in climatic chambers to selected components of climate change, in particular elevated...

Modelling climate change impacts on crop growth and yield quality based on explicit simulation of plant internal transport processes (Project)
Predicted changes in average values of climatic factors (increased atmospheric CO2 concentration, increased temperature, altered precipitation patterns) and predicted changes in climatic variability (frequencies, duration and degree of climatic extremes such as heat and frost periods, droughts, floods and storms) will impact on the yield and quality of agricultural crops. Whereas effects of many...

Agent-based modelling and assessment of human-environment interactions (Project)
A better understanding of human-environment interactions and especially of land users’ decision-making processes is a key requisite for exploring possible coping strategies to climate change and for improving land use planning. So far, land system models have focused on land areas as the main unit of analysis and have not represented the decision-making of land users explicitly. Within the second...

Microeconomic analysis of land use management under climate change with emphasis on risk and learning (Project)
Recent research has shown that there is lack of knowledge on how learning with respect to complex issues, such as climate change, actually takes place on farms. The rate of adaptation to a changed environment is unclear. Thus, this subproject will extend the knowledge about learning strategies and the behaviour of farms. It is intended to implement different learning methods into the model...

Integration of land system model components (Project)
Various drivers affect the dynamics of land systems at the regional level and have therefore to be captured in land system modelling. Climate factors affect biophysical processes directly (for example, temperature and atmospheric CO2 change the rate of photosynthesis) and indirectly (for example, increasing temperature changes the environmental conditions for water and nutrient supply, pests,...

Microbial regulation of organic matter decomposition at the regional scale (Project)
The fate of soil organic carbon (SOC) is one of the largest uncertainties in predicting future climate and terrestrial ecosystem function. The aim of the new proposal is to improve carbon turnover models (e.g., RothC, DAISY) by adding microbial mechanisms. We will sample soils from two regions (Swabian Alb, Kraichgau); within each region we will choose a chronosequence from fallow (four, three...

Estimation of the vector spectrum for the transmission / spread of West Nile virus (WNV) and Rift Valley fever virus (RVF) (Project)
So far, Germany has remained unaffected by cases of WNV and RVFV infections. In the recent past, however, WNV caused several epidemics with fatal cases among horses and humans in other, more southern European countries while RVFV, originally occurring only in South and East Africa, managed to spread northwards to cause outbreaks in Egypt and the Arabian peninsula. In contrast to bluetongue which...
