DINARIO - Climate Change, Landscape dynamics, Land use and Natural Resources in the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro (Collaborative project)

The DINARIO research project is part of the Brazilian - German co-operation program, launched by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA, Brazil) and by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, Germany). The implementing institutions of this project are the Cologne University of Applied Sciences (in cooperation with the University of Bonn), the University of Leipzig...

Reference system for a vital Honey Bee colony (FIT-BEE) (Collaborative project)

In the center of the collaborative project is a healthy, vigorous Honey Bee colony ('BEE FIT'). All modules in a integrated network aim to understand the complex interactions between individual bees, bees, bee diseases and environmental parameters better to define it, the conditions for a healthy bee colony, and to improve them through targeted measures. Koordination: Dr. A. Schroeder, Hohenheim.

KLIFF - Climate Impact Research in Lower Saxony (Collaborative project)

What specific impact will climate change at regional level and how to manage the resulting problems? As part of the research network KLIFF, sponsored by the Lower Saxony Ministry for Science and Culture, scientists from the disciplines of agricultural and forestry sciences, biology, geography, engineering, oceanography, meteorology, space planning, social sciences and economics are working...

Joint project: development of innovative methods for measuring and predicting the vitality of bees (Collaborative project)

Conventional methods for vitality measurement of honeybee colonies are almost always based on counts or estimates of the quantities of bees and brood ('colony strength'). It is not possible to measure sublethal effects with these techniques. This however would be urgently needed in order to completely describe the effects of individual stress factors such as pesticides and pathogens, and to...

3D-Mosaic (Collaborative project)

In the cultivation of tree crops, water is a critical input factor and irrigation is necessary in all European countries. As a matter of fact, input requirements in an orchard vary in space and time due to the variability of climate, soil and plant growth. Spatial patterns of soil and plant properties can be regarded as a 3D-Mosaic. Thus, an optimum orchard management has to address seasonal and...

Molecular mechanisms regulating yield and yield stability in plants (Collaborative project)

Securing food reserves for the growing world population will require inputs from various disciplines including plant biology, plant breeding, plant biotechnology, agricultural industries as well as farming. In the absence of a precise knowledge about the underlying molecular mechanisms, progress in crop breeding and production will be difficult to achieve and the transfer of knowledge from model...

Join Project: release accompanying security of maize with multiple Bt genes for corn borer and corn rootworm resistance (Collaborative project)

The aim of this project is to investigate the potential effects of the genetically modified Bt maize cultivar MON89034xMON88017 on herbivorous insects which come into contact with Bt proteins as a result of their diet.

Join project: COMTESS - Sustainable COastal Land Management: Trade-offs in EcoSystem Services (Collaborative project)

Climate change threatens coastal areas of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea primarily through accelerated sea-level rise, increasing storm surges, and increasing winter rainwater discharge. Accelerating sea-level rise and changes in hydrological cycles are likely to affect coastal ecosystems and may restrict the efficiency of existing protective measures in the future. Therefore, the collaborative...

DFG Collaborative Research Center 852: nutrition, intestinal microbiota and host interactions in pigs (Collaborative project)

The scientific aim of the SFB 852 is to characterize the influence of nutritional factors on the functionings of the intestines and on animal health in the pig using innovative, experimental, analytical and bioinformatic methods. In the 1. funding period, research efforts are focussed on feed additives, and in particular, on mechanistic studies on the effects of probiotics as well as the trace...
