Intercede project

INTERCEDE will address the impacts of increasing landscape homogenization (reduced landscape heterogeneity, removal of remnant semi-natural vegetation) and crop specialization on farmland biodiversity and agricultural yields. Both aspects are expected to become more relevant with climate change and resulting pressures on agriculture (drought, extreme events).

More information on the project webpage.

I am an environmental scientist and entomologist interested in the effects of land use intensity in agricultural landscapes on ecosystem services (pollination and pest control). Pollinator health is a particular focus of my research.
