The impact of changes in biodiversity in North Sea food webs caused by environmental factors and human activities (Project)
Climate change, declining fishing pressure, and reduced nutrient inputs are shifting structure and functions in the ecosystem of the southern North Sea. In BioWeb, we explore the links between these environmental and land-use changes and trends in biodiversity.The overall objective of BioWeb is to analyze changes in biodiversity within the food web of the southern North Sea, in order to...

International competitiveness and efficiency of apple production in Germany and other European countries (Project)
Apples are among the most popular fruits in Europe. Nevertheless, European apple producers face major challenges. On the one hand, the sector is subject to high competitive pressure due to a large supply on the world market, and on the other hand, apple producers are exposed to very different production conditions. Therefore, we address the question of how competitive the most important European...

Agroecology for Europe (Project)
Substantial transformations are needed to develop sustainable agriculture and food systems in Europe. Agroecology is increasingly seen as an important approach to prepare and guide the transition to sustainable agriculture and food systems. Over the past decade, the concept of agroecology has gained significant recognition in the scientific, agricultural and political fields. In Europe,...

Automated fish age reading and analysis of growth patterns using deep learning (Project)
In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence has increased massively in various disciplines. Can this technology also be applied in fisheries science? This question is to be clarified in a PhD project.Fish stock assessment relies on accurate estimates of fish age to derive important trends and measurements such as growth and mortality rates. The most widely accepted method has its roots...

Coastal fish monitoring in the Baltic Sea waters of Schleswig-Holstein (northern Germany) (Project)
In this project a standardized coastal fish monitoring is developed for the coastal Baltic Sea areas of Schleswig-Holstein considering the guidelines of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.The aim of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) from 2008 comprises reaching a good environmental status in the seas of the European Union. In this context, EU member states develop...

Adaptation of the Western Baltic Coastal Fishery to Climate Change (Project)
The cumulative impacts of climate change, together with the prevailing fishing pressure, pose a threat to the coastal fisheries resources of the Western Baltic Sea.Many target species undergo dramatic changes in their productivity and biogeography, mainly related to ocean warming. However, knowledge on the impact and threats on fish biodiversity in the Western Baltic Sea and the adaptive capacity...

Multiple Stressors on North Sea Life (Project)
Using high-resolution models, we aim to better understand the combined impacts of climate change and human uses on the southern North Sea. The MuSSeL project combines geophysical with novel theoretical models to identify hot spots of change.Seabed life in the southern North Sea is exposed to both geophysical changes and growing human activities. How climate change, fisheries and offshore wind...

Improvement of fast growing tree species for wood production (Project)
The cultivation of fast-growing tree species contributes to the relief of the environment significantly through the increased binding of CO2 in the form of dendromass. In addition, the production of renewable raw materials can help to preserve biological diversity and to enrich the cultural landscape.Material or energetic use of renewable raw materials allows the development of sustainable forms...

Status and development of forest sites on organic soils in Germany - Improvement of national greenhouse gas reporting, and options and impacts of climate protection measures (Project)
Germany has to report national greenhouse gas inventories, amongst other things for the sector land use, land use change and forestry. The inventory reports on CO2 emissions from biomass on organic soils in forests as well as on emissions from drainage of these soils. In terms of completeness and level of detail, Germany´s current reporting has to be improved with regard to the calculation of the...

Impact of the use of offshore wind and other marine renewables on European fisheries (Project)
What is the general impact of the development of marine renewables on the European fishing sector? In our study, we answer this question, highlight pathways for possible co-existence solutions and research gaps and provide concluding policy recommendations.The proliferation of offshore renewables, such as offshore wind farms, is a key pillar in the global transition to a carbon-free power sector....
