In coordination with the EU Commission, a team of 300 European scientists has developed recommendations on how the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) can, within the scope of instruments that have already been adopted, provide a substantial impetus to halt biodiversity loss. »
Until now, it had been assumed that dams act as net carbon stores. However, researchers at the UFZ, in cooperation with Spanish scientists, have now shown that dams release twice as much carbon as they store.»
In the world’s drylands, changes in rainfall have a much greater effect on plant diversity than in wetter regions. This was written by a team of scientists in Central Germany led by the UFZ.»
Nature-based solutions can support climate change adaptation and reduce the loss of biodiversity and ecosystems. This is described in a report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) to which two UFZ researchers contributed as lead authors.»
Prolonged and potentially destabilizing water shortages will become commonplace in Jordan by 2100, unless the nation implements comprehensive reform, new research by an international team of researchers including the UFZ finds.»
I will compare pollinator visitation networks across natural and land-use gradients. Most of my fieldwork will focus on countries that have scarce baseline pollination data and contain traditionally managed meadows. Additionally, I will be using barcoding to learn more about the bees from the regions studied and examine pollen transport by Hymenopterans and Dipterans.
