Soil organisms and their performance in an agroecosystem influenced by elevated atmospheric CO2 and different N-fertilisation (Project)
Worldwide increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere form the background for a field experiment in an agroecosystem. Biodiversity and performance of soil organisms has been studied under the conditions of elevated atmospheric CO2 by fumigating the standing crop. The carbon of the CO2 passes through the plants via stomatical uptake into the soil as root exudates or is deposited as dead roots...

COST Action E52: Evaluation of Beech Genetic Resources for Sustainable Forestry (Project)
It is now established that impacts of anthropogenic climate change on biota can be proven. The widely spread European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is an economically important tree species, which is due to its functional flexibility and genetic plasticity well suitable to study the likely impacts of global change on European forests. The main objective of this COST Action is to make predictions of...

German-Dutch cooperation on plant genetic resources conservation (Project)
Within the framework of an agreement between the German and Dutch Ministries of Agriculture the BAZ Gene Bank is responsible for the joint Beta and Cichorium collection and the Centre for Genetic Resources, The Netherlands (CGN) for the joint collection of seed propagated potato species. The work encompasses: collection, documentation, characterisation and provision of material as well as the...

Effects of crop rotation and reduced factor input on crop yield and quality (Project)
Site adapted crop rotations with beneficial correlations of pre fruit- past fruit presents environmentally plant production systems in which soil fertility is preserved and promoted. In this project are analyzed the effects of reduced production intensities on yield and quality of different plant species (cereals and foliage fruits)

Effect of agricultural management on temporary carbon sinks in the form of crop residues and plant roots. (Project)
Nearly half of the biomass of agricultural crops is formed by the roots as the main underground plant organ. Although, the root development is genetically determined, it responds measurably to changes in growth conditions. Long-term field experiments indicate that the root formation of crops can be strongly influenced and controlled by the agricultural management. The contribution of plant roots...

Test of new varieties and breeding strains under the regime for organic viticulture (Project)
Fungus resistant newbreds are predestined for environmentally friendly viticulture. In a test plot, fungus resistant newbreds and breeding strains are comparatively grown with traditional varieties according to organic viticulture guidelines (ECOVIN). These tests provide early information about the ecovariance of the breeding material. The test plot will be available for investigations of the...

Evaluation and use of non-adapted accessions for breeding on economically important traits in rye (Project)
Accessions rarely employed in rye breeding to date are tested in respect to economically important traits. In addition to agronomic traits, resistances to leaf rust, powdery mildew, scald and stem rust are of high interest. While leaf rust is the most important windspread disease in rye, stem rust and scald are becoming more important due to the climatic change. In current rye varieties, the...

Assessing suitable policy instruments for CO2 benefit distribution from forest management (Project)
Forests reduce greenhouse gas loads in the atmosphere by sequestering carbon. This is beneficial for humans in general, and is even profitable in financial terms – however, for the time being financial benefits accrue to the government only, but not to the forest owners. What is the amount of these profits? How can they be used to stimulate forest owners in order to enlarge their forests as...
