Adjustment of the forest dynamics and wood production modeling (WEHAM) to the information needs of the greenhouse gas monitoring and of the political consultancy concerning timber supply (Project)

The national forest dynamics and wood production modelling (WEHAM) is an important tool for the modelling of carbon sequestration in forest biomass (needed for greenhouse gas reporting) and of future timber production potentials. The further model development includes the implementation of expansion and conversion factors for the assessment of carbon sequestration as well as the development of...

Sweet Sorghum : an alternative energy crop (SWEETFUEL) (Project)

Increasing world market prices for fossil fuels, driven by limited reserves, growing demand and instability in producing regions, now render renewable fuels economical. Such fuels are also a pathway to reducing GHG emissions and mitigating climate change. Bio-ethanol from crop plants is a promising, partial solution to sustainably satisfy the energy demand for road transport. The success of...

Food labelling to advance better education for life (FLABEL) (Project)

Nutrition labels are potentially a major instrument for enabling consumers to make healthier food choices, but current insights into how nutrition labels are used by consumers in real-world shopping situations are limited, making the science-based formulation of new labelling policies and the evaluation of existing ones difficult. The objectives of this project are to determine how food nutrition...

Enhancing poplar traits for energy applications (ENERGYPOPLAR) (Project)

Green plants application is being promoted through different European directives, which aim to achieve 5.75% of liquid fuel supply by 2010 and 20% by 2020. Liquid fuels derived from cellulosic biomass offer an important alternative to conventional energy sources to reduce Europe s dependence on fossil fuels. Trees are attractive dedicated energy crops because they display a wide range of growth...

Fine mapping of economically important genes in carrot (Daucus carota L.) (Project)

Carrot is the economically by far most important crop in Apiaceae family. Growing area as well as yield increased worldwide contineously over the last years. Continuation of this high yield and quality level under changing climatic conditions is only possible using marker assisted breeding methods for resistance against biotic and abiotic stress factors. Prerequisite is a high-density map. Aim of...
