The conversion of natural forests and grasslands to intensive agriculture and livestock is the biggest cause of global biodiversity loss. This is the main result of an study led by researchers from Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Argentina), in which the UFZ was also involved.»
Carbon dioxide can be removed from the atmosphere by natural or technical means. Researchers from the Helmholtz Climate Initiative, led by the UFZ, have investigated the potential of various processes and identified the approaches with the highest potential.»
An international team of researchers, including from the UFZ, has for the first time experimentally proven the dominant role of light competition in the loss of plant diversity and published it in "Nature". The experiments took place at the UFZ research station in Bad Lauchstädt.»
Communication is everything – and that applies for algae, too. However, their chemical language and its significance in aquatic ecosystems remain largely unknown. Researchers from the UFZ and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory (UK) have now summarized the current state of knowledge. »
To make the European food system more resilient, an EU Framework law should ensure a sustainable food system and redirect innovation. This is what the European Environment and Sustainable Development Advisory Councils Network (EEAC), including UFZ biologist Josef Settele, writes.»
