ECOPOTENTIAL is a large European-funded H2020 project that focuses its activities on a targeted set of internationally recognised protected areas, blending Earth Observations from remote sensing and field measurements, data analysis and modelling of current and future ecosystem conditions and ecosystem services. ECOPOTENTIAL considers cross-scale geosphere-biosphere interactions at regional to continental scales, addressing long-term and large-scale environmental and ecological challenges.
Assessing and governing synergies between food production, biodiversity, and ecosystem services.
TALE ist ein BiodivERsA-Projekt, das die Effekte verschiedener Landnutzungsoptionen auf Nahrungsmittelproduktion, Biodiversität und Ökosystemleistungen in unterschiedlichen europäischen Landschaften untersucht.
OpenNESS is an EU FP 7 research project that translates both concepts into operational frameworks that provide tested, practical and tailored solutions for integration into land, water and urban management and decision-making. CLE is coleading the development of new EU level scenarios and one of the 27 case studies (in Central Germany), and contributes to a second case study in the sugarcane belt of southern Brasil.
OPERAs ist ein europäisches Forschungsprojekt, das die Lücke zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis im Bereich der Ökosystemfunktionen und -dienstleistungen schließen soll. Das Projekt besteht aus 27 Partnern aus akademischen Institutionen, Beratungsunternehmen und KMU in ganz Europa. Das Team besteht aus Wissenschaftlern, Forschern und Praktikern aus vielen Disziplinen. Das Projekt baut auf dem Konzept der Ökosystemdienstleistungen und natürlichem Kapital auf, um diese Konzepte in der Praxis anzuwenden.
ESCALATE educates a new generation of young scientists in interdisciplinary ecosystem service research by bringing together an experienced and multidisciplinary team for doctoral education.
Energy-efficient Delitzsch
Delitzsch: The pathway of a city to energy-efficiency under conditions of population shrinkage.
Scientific Coordination, Moderation and Synthesis of the BMBF-Research Programme „Sustainable Land Management“.

NeWater, an integrated project funded by the EU involving 39 partners in Europe, investigates the transition from prevailing regimes of river basin water management worldwide into more adaptive regimes in the future by developing and implementing participative models and tools.
Phylogeny shifts in the climate niche of mammals: evolutionary contraints or adaption potential?
PLUREL was an integrated project funded by the EU involving 33 partners in Europe. We simulated land use change and studied the impact of land use patterns on ecosystem services in rural-urban regions.
POLATE was a short 1 year project, funded by BMBF, with 6 additional partners in Germany, synthesizing the recent state of the art of land use management and its impact to greenhouse gas emissions and ecosystem services.

SECTOR - Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of TORrefaction is an EU FP 7 research project and is focused on the development of torrefaction-based technologies for the production of solid bioenergy carriers, and on supporting the market introduction of torrefaction-based bioenergy carriers as a commodity renewable solid fuel.
CLE contributes to WP 9, assessing (i) certification schemes concerning environmental sustainability criteria, and (ii) effect of bioenergy production systems on the provision of ecosystem services
SESYNC - Land-Use-BioDiversity-Ecosystem Services-trade-offs - This SESYNC funded project is lead by Ralf Seppelt and Sandra Lavorel and seeks for conceptual and data driven synthesis that acknowledges the multidimensional complexity captured in the label ‘land use’ in relation to biodiversity and ecosystem services. Other involved partners include Peter Verburg, Gretchen Daily and Matt Walpole.
