• Press Release Using cover plants to remove pollutants from arable soil
Agricultural soils often contain pollutants. UFZ researchers have summarised how cover plants can be used to remove or fix these pollutants. This study was published in Trends in Plant Sciences.»
Conservative tree species, such as horse chestnut, generally grow faster than acquisitive, supposedly fast-growing species, as they are better able to cope with stress. In consequence, they usually store more carbon, writes an international team in Nature with UFZ participation.»
Since 2005, dedicated volunteers throughout Germany have been recording the occurrence of these popular insects. Since then, the monitoring has not only provided valuable information on butterflies, but also on how land use and climate change are changing nature as a whole. »
To ensure the coexistence of tree species, tropical and temperate forests successfully rely on opposing strategies. They are based on the clustering of trees and the frequency of tree species, write researchers led by the UFZ in the scientific journal Nature.»
The directors of eight of the largest environmental research institutes in Europe, including the UFZ, which cooperate in the PEER network (Partnership for European Environmental Research), are calling for a discussion on the EU's upcoming research framework programme (FP10). »
